“A lot of what we’re seeing is kids passing it to kids, not in our athletic venues, but in driving in cars together, participating in sleepovers, pizza parties — all of those sort of natural social behaviors of teenagers,” said Lang from ASD.
With 30 teams in the NHL, each with at least two goaltenders on their roster and some wearing multiple masks in one season, the league has seen thousands upon thousands of masks throughout its long history. Ok, so goalies didn’t actually wear masks until the late 50’s when Jacques Plante became the first NHL netminder to wear one after being struck in the face with a puck and later returning to the game in the mask he had previously only worn for practice. Regardless, the number of unique mask designs that have graced NHL rinks is too high to count.
Even the goaltenders who then adopted the new form of protective gear didn’t think much about the appearance of them until the 1970’s when Gerry Cheevers began putting markings on his mask every time he was hit in the face, either with a puck or a skater’s stick. That all changed in 1974 when art student and former goalie Greg Harrison crafted a light blue mask for Penguins goalie Jim Rutherford, commonly viewed as the first instance of personal art on a mask and thus spawning a new artform. Harrison would go on to make masks for more than eighty percent of the league’s goaltenders in the 70’s, including the famed masks of Gilles Gratton, Brian Hayward and Wayne Stephenson, just to name a few.
"We've got champions on this team," he said. "We've got guys who have been in playoff runs, been in Game 7s, so it's always important to have that much experience and knowledge within the group. We'll see where we go from here."
But the Blackhawks' Client Services Manager has decided to make the most of this predicament by creating and donating masks for those in need.
Rather than keeping the white base of the mask as many goaltenders did in the 70’s, Stephenson’s mask went all orange, turning the Flyers’ logos into a superhero-like eye mask. While most masks in the modern era incorporate the team’s logo somehow in the design, the placement and transformation of the logos on Stephenson’s mask was ground-breakingly creative for the time period.Tennessee Titans for NHL Face Masks
For the complete analysis of this mask, you can read the full article of the Bucket Bracket Showdown finals (link above), but what really makes this a standout is the use of a new medium in a sensible way. It’s a well-known principle among designers that content and subject matter should always precede design, and Bishop’s artist, Dave Gunnarsson, has used his G.L.O.W. Tech FX paint here in a way that makes sense – to depict lightning. Gunnarsson has been a pioneer in, perhaps still the only artist, using glow in the dark paint on goalie masks, and for that, this mask is a trailblazer for masks of the future.
“Everyone is looking forward to a time where wearing masks and stuff won’t be necessary,” Reimer said. “You’re just grinding it out now and trying to make the best of it.”Miami Dolphins for NHL Face Masks |
