A pro goalie's mask is usually custom molded to his head. Him getting a new mask quickly depends on how fast a new one can be made from his mold. Add in a paint job, and his painter has to make room for him in the schedule too. Guys like DaveArt do a lot of paint for pros, so sometimes it might take a guy like Joey MacDonald a little longer to get in.
