I decided to wait this season until January so there would be plenty of in-game photos before I started posting. But hopefully I will get started soon!
If you'd like to see your favorite goalie's post as one of the first ones, please just leave a comment, and I'll go in the order they are asked for. Otherwise I'll probably just go in alphabetical order by team again.
Thanks for checking in and waiting patiently!
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.

Done With 2018-19 Masks
I THINK I'm done with the masks from the 2018-19 season. If you happen to look for a mask and don't see it, either leave a comment or email me (willow1171@gmail.com.)
There were multiple masks for many of the goalies, so it's very possible I missed one of those, especially if only worn in a few games.
And I might have forgotten to go back and add in-game photos to some of the goalies. I checked, but it all runs together after a while.
So again, if I seem to be missing something, please let me go. Otherwise, thanks for your patience! I haven't been up to the task the previous 2 seasons, but I tried really hard this season.

Mike McKenna 2018-19 Mask
Mike McKenna of the Philadelphia Flyers (born April 11, 1983 in St. Louis, MO.)
McKenna started the season in Ottawa. In January he was traded to Vancouver, but then a couple of days later placed on waivers. That's when Philadelphia picked him up.
Here was his Ottawa mask (I couldn't find any information, but my best guess would be artist Ray Bishop from Bishop Designs):

He didn't have a Vancouver mask, of course, being there just a couple of days.
This is his Philadelphia mask.

Check Out This Awesome Game-Used Masks Collection!
Recently I heard from a regular visitor to this site, which I appreciate. I'm always glad to receive messages or comments, because it means people are visiting and using my blog.
He has a really fantastic collection of game-used goalie masks (NHL, International, AHL/Minors, and some odds and ends.)
He's a collector, not a seller, so these aren't for sale: https://www.nhlgoaliemasks.net/
But I thought you all might enjoy seeing them, I know I did. Just seeing them all on the shelves was pretty amazing.
Thanks again for reaching out, I enjoyed talking to you!
