Enables players with an acute injury to return to play earlier without having to worry about being taken out by one of the , overly enthusiastic, smash brothers.
Allows individual players, who prefer not to get beaten up every game, to play on a regular basis without fear of hesitancy.
Players with chronic wrist or elbow issues can identify themselves with yellow tape (YT) and extend their playing careers by many many years.
Playing against players with yellow tape requires all club members to look up and make fast decisions. The same players learn to look and also cleanly pick pucks without smashing which improves the overall skill of each club who uses it.
Helps new players develop without unthinking players using their physical dominance to remove the puck. This would mean we would retain more players, other than the few that can handle the physicality and rough play of the smash brothers.
Allows women to play the game under real no-contact conditions.
