Frederick Stars Hockey

It’s true. It would appear the Blues’ very own porn star has opted to cover his head for safety reasons. Many of us will remember the incident where another man’s stick accidentally smacked Dirk in the face. It is easy to understand why he might have been upset. When asked about his decision to cover the head, Dirk told us, “One of my biggest fears is taking a shot in the face. That is just something that nobody wants in this line of work. As for the extra gear, it is becoming more and more accepted. There are certainly some downsides, but I no longer feel that I have to let it all hang out anymore.”

It’s hard to blame him. This is a dangerous activity and not everyone out there is going to be clean. It doesn’t matter if we are talking about newcomers or veterans; you’ve got to watch out because one mistake can leave you with a permanent reminder.

Dirk further explained his decision by saying, “In this business, you’ve got to be careful. It’s foolish to work here without the proper protection. I unfortunately had to learn the hard way.”

The decision to wrap it up is one that every man must decide for himself. There are pros and cons, but an increasing trend seems to side with safety. The sentiment among participants appears to have shifted away from blaming others to only blaming oneself. One must ask, ‘what did I do to avoid this?’

When asked how the extra gear will impact his game, Dirk told us that, “My performance is pretty important, but my endurance comes first. When you’re in the heat of the moment and sticks are flying left and right, I’ve got to be able to do my thing. It does me no good if I have to sit on the sidelines watching all the other men do the scoring. The cover on my head may slow me down a bit and it may not be as enjoyable, but at least I won’t have anymore premature finishes.”
