PowerPlayGoal.com Loves… Goalie Mask Art
Not everything is negative. That’s why we here at PowerPlayGoal.com feel its time to show you some of the things we love about hockey.
In this edition, we look at something some people don’t really take that much time to think about – The artwork designs on Goalies helmets. Excluding the period after a trade, rookies, and goalies that are happy to make do with a plain white mask with the teams logo stuck onto it.
We look a little bit further here at PowerPlayGoal.com and here are a selection of our favourites from the recent years.
Johan Hedburg – Atlanta Thrashers
This rather lively design contains elements from his previous masks throughout his careers as a goaltender.
Dwayne Roloson – New York Islanders
Sure, the Islanders aren’t the greatest team right now; and they did recently have an epic loss of 5-0 to local rivals the New York Rangers but at least they win when it comes to having an awesome goalie mask.
Tukka Rask – Boston Bruins
Finnish born Tukka Rask’s goalie mask shows off more attitude than the audition line for the next “WWE superstar”; and fortunately, is certainly much less pretentous.
Dan Ellis – Nashville Predators
One of my favourite masks comes from the person who designed Dan Ellis’ mask.
Steve Mason – Colombus Blue Jackets
Playing towards the roots of the Columbus blue jackets name is net-minder Steve Mason’s goalie mask.
Ilya Bryzgalov – Phoenix Coyotees
This helmet depicts a lonesome night in what we presume is the Arizona Desert at night accompanied by coyotes howling at the moon.
