Hockey’s Most Badass Goalie Masks

The mask goalies wear in hockey have come a long way. Hard to believe there was a time when they’d raw dog it in the net. Those dudes had serious balls taking rock hard pucks to the dome. While the masks of yesteryear were primitive, they were also pretty scary. Even Jason Voorhees is like, “Take if off, dude. You’re buggin’ me out.” So, with the NHL All-Star Weekend approaching, we decided to take a look at the most kick-ass, bad-ass masks in the sport. Try not to wet yourself. See the pics after the jump!
