I think the face shield is the way to go - it's common practice in junior hockey, after all, so all the new guys would be well acquainted with it. That's how they did it with helmets - a grandfathered process. Once upon a time, goalies didn't wear masks because it "hurt their vision" or was "sissy". Ditto for helmets.

However, I don't think a lot of NHL bosses want to see it happen - they want A) crowds to see the faces of the stars and B) fights suck with face shields.
