Gary Smith, Author
Today I interviewed Gary Smith, one of the Authors of the fantastic new book “Saving Face: The Art and History of the Goalie Mask.”
Gary has an interesting background and shares some of his views on masks, mask design and the people that influenced them in our interview.
Have a listen to the podcast, and if you have any thoughts, please share them by clicking the comment link below.
Also, check out the interview below with Gary’s co-author Jim Hynes.
Please note: the Book Giveaway is now closed and the winners have been contacted.
As announced on Sunday, the publisher, Wiley Canada, has kindly offered five copies of the book to give to readers of inGoalMag.com!
To be eligible to receive one of the books just subscribe (it’s free, it’s painless, look over in the sidebar to the right) to receive updates from inGoalMag either by email or RSS. If you subscribe via RSS you’re on the honour system, but please send me an email confirming that you have done so: david@inGoalMag.com. I won’t sell, rent or giveaway or do anything else sinister, annoying or obnoxious with your address! I’m the only person you’ll ever hear from and if I drive you nuts you can easily unsubscribe!
From the list of subscribers (yes, if you have already subscribed you are eligible but again RSS folks, send me an email) I will draw 4 lucky names to receive a book.
The fifth book? No, I’m not keeping one. In fact Santa brought me one at Christmas (I loved it). The fifth book will go to the person who does the best job of convincing me that they should receive it. Send me an email telling me why. It’s wide open how to do that – be creative. Tell me Gerry Cheevers is your long lost cousin, link to me on your blog, follow me on Twitter, set up a table at the local hockey tournament to tell people about inGoalMag, send an email to every goalie you know to tell them…impress me, be creative.
Please note: the Book Giveaway is now closed and the winners have been contacted.
I found this great interview with the other author, Jim Hynes on blip.tv that I’m sure you’ll enjoy.

I used to know Gary in his university days when he played for STU. Our old friend Mary Kelly sent this to me. Way to go, Gary!
