James Reimer 2010-11 Mask

James Reimer of the Toronto Maple Leafs (born March 15, 1988 in Winnipeg, MB.)

InGoal Magazine's article about Reimer's mask is here.
The sides of the mask: "...features a pond hockey game from his youth on one side, and Hockey Night in Canada icons Don Cherry and Ron MacLean on the other."
The backplate: "...an image of Jesus pulling Peter out of the water on the back of his mask, along with a reference to suitable verse for both him and the Maple Leafs."
And: "The bible passage referenced above the image of Jesus and Peter – “Matt 14:31″ – is also not without significance, and seems very fitting for both the overlooked Reimer and the Maple Leafs: Matthew 14:31 reads: “Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”

  1. Gustavsson has heart issues - three little medical proceedures in 20 months. Giguere has ongoing issues with a groin. AND Reimer is hot and ready for the NHL.

  4. On the side of Reimer's mask (Left Ear) is the image of Ron McLean and Don Cherry (Former Bruins Coach). Ron is the clever, pun master, announcer and host of Hockey Night in Canada and Don is the star analyst of Coaches Corner -- on HNIC every Saturday night after the 1st period is complete.

  5. James has to be one of the only golaies in the NHL with a NME 9 mask and not 9601/960/961 pro mask.

  8. I really like how his is open about his faith! Not enough sports stars are. He's definitely a good role model, and he is great in interviews too!
