NEW 3-5-2d

3-5-2 ...Guards, casts, braces and compression sleeves must meet the following guidelines:
...
d. Must be worn for medical reasons.

Ok, so what does this rule mean?

What exactly is a medical reason? How do we know or learn that the player must wear the item for one? How should this be checked? Is a written note from an MD required?

1. Is it enough if the kid says, "I hurt my ankle."

2. What if the coach says, "It's medical."

3. What if the trainer says, "He has a muscle strain in his forearm and we are trying to keep it warm."

4. What if the item is not being worn because of an injury that was already suffered, but as a precaution to prevent a possible injury? What if the player's doctor recommends that he wear the brace or sleeve as a preventive measure?
