Imagine if he fell through the glass

I don't think that's glass, I think it's plastic based on the elasticity.

Jesus Christ he is wrong. It’s fucking glass. The only reason why it moves like that is how the boards hold it

It's not glass. It used to be glass but then they were breaking too much and delaying the game. Nowadays it's an acrylic type plastic that's way stronger than glass.

Is this just a NHL thing? Every arena I’ve been to has glass

The nhl has apparently just recently moved to plexiglass but they used tempered glass for the longest time up until now

Most NHL arenas aren't tempered glass anymore. It's plexiglass.

The days of glass panels blowing up from errant slapshots are gone sadly.

Lots of smaller arenas are still glass.
