2010 Atlanta Thrashers Mask for Goalie Chris Mason Goes Retro

Thanks to a reader who likes to stay in touch about new masks, we have new Thrashers goalie Chris Mason’s mask for the upcoming season. Apparently it was done by our friend Steve Nash at eyecandyair.com.

UPDATE: The Thrashers Web Site has been in touch with us. The images were first presented on their site and they are happy for inGoal readers to view the full Chris Mason mask gallery at their site.

I love the simple retro designs some guys are returning to – they have clean lines, remind us of our youth and are visible from the stands and on TV without a tight close up.

New San Jose Sharks Goalie Antero Nittymaki’s 2010-2011 Mask

Thanks to artist David Arrigo and Antero Niittymaki’s personal permission, we are able to unveil the first shots of Niitty’s new mask he’ll be wearing with the Sharks this season.

One of the biggest moves among goalies this off season was the Sharks parting ways with long-time starting goalie Evgeni Nabokov and turning the starter’s job over to Niittymaki.

The  Bauer mask contains classic shark references, as well as Niitty’s trademark design seen in his old Lightning and Flyers’ masks. This time, of course, the tommy-gun toting gangster is a shark.

What do you think of the mask? How much time will it see in the San Jose cage this year? Let us know in the comments below.

Take a few minutes and drop by David’s site and check out his great work and how he can help you get a professional design on your helmet this season.

Goalie auditioning for ice time as a forward

Mike McKenna shows off some sweet skills in this video – looks like he wants a shot in the shootout or perhaps some powerplay time when he’s not in goal for the Albany Devils.

Best Goalie Masks in Hockey Listiki

I have been looking at a great new web service, listiki, this morning. It allows you to build lists that everyone can add to or reorder, much like a wiki.

Just to get something started I made a Best Goalie Masks in Hockey list. It’s seeded with links to InGoalMag posts, but was put together with little thought, frankly. Please have a look, reorder or add your own links, to any site on the web of course.

When you finish, come on back here and leave a comment telling us why you added, or who you voted for as the best.

Great Goalie Mask Art – David Leroux

We have more from one of the best up and coming young artists out there, David Leroux. David recently sent me this gallery of images, and having seen a lot of work by most of the artist out there, I was incredibly impressed by David’s most recent work. The detail, and the realism in his work is remarkable.
