Goalie Masks

Examples:

-Belfour's Eagle masks
-Hirsh's haunted house mask
-Kidd's Dragons
-Cujo's "Cujo the dog" masks

Not Shown:

-Vanbiesbrouck's Panthers Mask

Maybe goalie's these days change their masks too often to have a trademark look but I miss that. Even Kipper did it with the skulls.

I think the greats still usually end up with a single style that sort of gets re-done. Renne, Quick, Rask, Vaseilevsky... I can see Wolf sticking with the same wolf design ala Cujo or Belfour.

I loved goalies wearing weird helmet/cage combos: Hasek, Irbe, Osgood, Thomas, etc...

Haywards Sharks mask was a thing of beauty.
Vanbiesbrouks Panthers mask was a Beauty too.
I really liked Kirk McLeans Canucks mask back in their 94 cup runs even though it was fairly vanilla.
Sean Burke had a few iconic ones but mostly team oriented.
Another of my Favorites was Andy Moogs Bruins mask.
Jocelyn Thiebaults BlackHawks mask and his Nordiques one as well.
And who can forget any iteration of Kipprusoffs masks.

But yeah, by far the two most iconic masks in NHL history are Belfours Eagle mask which just switched team colors wherever he went and then Cheevers stitches mask.

Easily the two most Iconic.

This kinda counts right?

I painted a few masks for ball hockey.

This was my first one, tribute to Belfour
