Tim Thomas 2013-14 Mask

Tim Thomas of the Florida Panthers Dallas Stars (born April 15, 1974 in Flint, MI.)

To be honest, I'm not even going to try to keep up with Thomas this season. I think he's had at least 4 or 5 masks already, and lots of pads too. I don't have the time to keep up.

Thomas was traded to Dallas in March.

Both of these photos are listed as March 20, 2014, so I don't even know which mask he's wearing.

Thomas changed pads sometime around late November or December.

Petr Mrazek 2013-14 Mask

Petr Mrazek of the Detroit Red Wings (born Februrary 14, 1992 in Ostrava, Czech Republic.)

Artist: Ray Bishop of Bishop Designs

Article found at InGoal Magazine:
“I wanted to do something that was bold and screamed Detroit,” Bishop told InGoal. ” I really don’t remember anyone using ‘The Fist of Joe Louis’ on their mask, so I thought that would be a great image to bring Detroit into the design, as well as show the strength and resilience of the city. To help further tie the image together, I decided to ghost the skyline of Detroit in subtly beneath the fist, and encircled them with ‘Detroit Red Wings and ‘HockeyTown USA’ to bring it all home.”






Curtis McElhinney 2013-14 Mask

Curtis McElhinney of the Columbus Blue Jackets (born May 23, 1983 in London, ON.)
