I'm not a big hockey fan, but I ran across this on CNN's website and I thought it was pretty cool.

Very cool chef. What happened from 67-82? Was that when masks were enforced in 67' then they changed in 82' to the newer ones?

Cool goalies don't wear masks.

Cool goalies don't wear masks.

You sir have offended me. That would of been cool though maybe someone is old enough to remember those days.

Any ways, talking about funny goaies mask, here's one from soccer :

After the whistle, he took the mask off (it's not allowed) but he kept the jersey

What I don't understand is why in the past they would make goalie mask that were hard to see out of.

That's what I thought too when I looked at those pictures. Some of them look downright difficult to see through.

Interesting set of masks there. It's amazing what sports sciences can do to improve equipment.
