Quitting From a Young Persons Perspective

[sj]

I've heard that there weren't any whistles ever blown in the ice bowl- Dallas/Green Bay game back in the 60's. -15 degrees and you have to stick a metal whistle in your mouth. I don't know if it's true but it makes sense.

Whistle issues in very cold games are true, at least with the use of metal whistles. Freezing in the mouth and tearing out lips have happened. Even guys with cracks in the plastic cover have had problems.

I think the foxes will still work in very cold weather. The pitch may be different and there may not be as much sound. I'd recommend the CMG version for below 30.

I used mine in 9 degrees once. No problem. When Fox came out and the pea was gone, it made all the difference. When I first started, the standard was the Acme Thunderer.

tape your whistle

The CMG works, taping works, or putting a pipe bit on your whistle works. All the same...

I think the CMG whistle looks the cleanest.
