Anyone know a good site where I can see various goalie masks over the years? I was watching the Goalie mask special off NHL Network and would like to learn more about styles and who wore which masks.

Thanks,

Mike

The first artistic mask, one with a full paint job and color scheme, was probably owned by Glenn "Chico" Resch of the New York Islanders. In 1976, Resch had a new mask made by Ernie Higgins, who created Cheevers, and was the craftsman of choice in the early 1970's. The plain white mask intrigued Linda Spinella, a friend of an Islanders trainer studying art in New York, and Resch let her use his mask as a canvas. Not only did she paint the mask, but also the backplate which was attached to the straps.

cool
