From the artist: "Watch out! The Orca Extremegrin is on the loose! Yep that is the name of Markstrom’s new Canucks mask for the coming season. The design is an homage to our friend Johan Holmqvist’s Team Sweden mask I painted and created 19 years ago! Yep I painted the original back in the 90s. Then a little goalie boy named Jacob Markstrom saw Holmqvist’s ExtremeGrin mask on TV when Holmqvist played with Team Sweden. It became Markstrom’s favorite mask. And this year when Markström was going to play for Team Sweden, he wanted to pay tribute to his favorite mask, the ExtremeGrin, and make an updated version of it. And for the coming NHL season Markstrom wanted to introduce the ExtremeGrin also in the NHL....so here comes the 2.0 version, the ExtremeGrin Of The Canucks."

Markstrom started wearing this mask in Mid-November, but I haven't found any information about it yet. I feel like it's another DaveArt mask, but I haven't found his post about it yet. But I will go ahead and post pictures until I have more info.
He added this sticker on the back after his father passed away.
Cool site. Thanks for sharing. I love goalie helmets, too. If you can, can you do a post about Mike Smith's Oilers helmet? I really like it's simple design with the oil derrick, but I can't find any really good photos of it online.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. Sure, I can do Smith next. Hopefully this weekend. Thanks!
DeleteI'm sorry for not getting Smith done last weekend. Things didn't go as planned. I'm so bad this year. Soon, I promise!
DeleteThank you so much for doing Markstrom's classic mask (I'm the guy who requested it)! I love those 'flying V' jerseys, although I'm in the minority :D
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! I plan to do Demko's soon also. Right after I do Smith for the previous commenter. I'm so slow, I'm so sorry!!
