hey CP
i thought i'd show you the latest incarnation of one of my goalie masks.
this thread was when i first got the mask painted back in 2010....

after wearing that mask for a few years it really started to show it's age, so i decided to pick up a new lid in 2013 and get it done up....

you can definitely see the flames influences in my masks! ha! ha!
well, i decided to repaint the first mask i got back in 2010 becuz i never wore it and this past fall i started a second mens team in our local league here in kelowna in the 'over 35' division (you must be at least 35 years old to play). this second colts team - the colt 35s - had a different colour scheme from my div 3 team. we went with the grey/white/black la kings outdoor game jersey. my other mask is mostly red with pretty much no grey so this was a perfect excuse to redo my old mask.
i decided to go in a slightly different direction from my other paint jobs - they were always heavy with fire/flames and lots of skulls (again - huge influence from previous flames goalies). this one would have sort of a military/camo/industrial feel to it and be mostly white/greys/black. there are still lots of influences from previous flames keepers, but tweaked to work with this style
so onto the pics....
what it started as:
and now.....

a couple notes on the skull plate - the nick name of 'show stop' came from Regehr when he played for the flames, so it stuck! ha! ha!
also - we have to have 'pphl' numbered stickers in our league (new this season), so i got mine painted right into the skull plate. it's just amazing that i got #34... same number that's on my jersey! ha! ha! thanks bc-larry!!!

and talking with my painter - he said he just lost himself the one day while working on it and the next thing he knew there was a skull on my mask and didn't think that i'd mind- ha! ha!
