Canucks goaltender Cory Schneider is taking his team’s one-game retro tribute to Vancouver’s only Stanley Cup-winning team seriously, with a new matching mask to commemorate the Vancouver Millionaires victory in 1915.

The Canucks will wear replica jerseys of the 1915 Millionaires for a home game against Detroit on Saturday March 16.

Mike Smith 2012-13 Mask

Mike Smith of the Phoenix Coyotes (born March 22, 1982 in Kingston, ON.)

Artist: David Arrigo

Mike Smith (aka Smitty) has worn a Looney Tunes themed Wile E. Coyote mask since he joined the Phoenix Coyotes. The mask design has become an icon and we decided to evolve the design for the 2013 NHL season. 
The twist on this year’s addition is that it includes a personal touch. On the sides of the mask you will find Smitty’s two sons decked out in hockey gear.











Thomas Greiss 2012-13 Mask

Thomas Greiss of the San Jose Sharks (born January 29, 1986 in Fussen, Germany.)

Greiss is wearing the "monster" mask that he wore most of last season found here (not the shark mask.)












Jason LaBarbera 2012-13 Mask

Jason LaBarbera of the Phoenix Coyotes (born Jan. 18, 1980 in Burnaby, BC.)

Artist: David Arrigo


During the latter half of the 2011-12 NHL season, ‘Barbs’ (aka Jason LaBarbera) goaltender of the Phoenix Coyotes and I collaborated on a new mask.  It featured his two main amusements in life: Rock ‘n’ Roll and Professional Wrestling.
Both elements have been cornerstones of previous masks that I have painted for Barbs.  This time around the centrepiece of the mask is based on WWE superstar CM Punk.  The sides of the mask are emblazoned with Metallica’s St. Anger fist imagery, a trademark found on previous masks worn by Barbs.
