The position of goalie has an inherent romanticism: masked men clad with cool armor, serving as the last line of defense. They play entire games, with an unparalleled ability to impact outcomes. When they're on, they can single-handedly defeat a giant foe. They are the consummate underdogs and towering superheroes all at once.

Titled "The Avs of the Rocky Mountains", Varlamov's new mask plays on the team's 'new' jerseys. The Adidas-branded uniforms are a throwback to the team's original jersey design, drawing inspiration from the team's 1995 inaugural season and giving a nod to the region's mining history with a bold silver stripe added.
The goaltender's nickname 'Varly' and the Russian Phoenix, painted alongside his name on the chin and up on the top of the mask, remain visible no matter the angle of the mask.
