Yes.

He has a vintage style mask and a Johnny Canuck centric light blue one.


Several goalies have several different masks they wear in different games to match the colour of their jersey, whether it be a vintage, a 3rd, a home or a away jersey.


You probably could've thrown this in the Canucks Forum too.

Marty Turco has a mask for the Black Dallas Jersey and White Dallas Jersey.

Roloson has a special throwback mask for the Oilers Vintage Jersies.

Mike Smith has a few masks, one of which is an advertisement for the Saw franchise.

He's been doing this for a few years, basically as long as the Canucks have had the vintage alternate jersey.

Smith *had* that mask. He and Kolzig only used them for a handful of games before auctioning them to respective charities. Other than that he has two other masks, one with lots of water and some kind of fishing design.

Ramo has the coolest mask.

Mason has two masks, but he's only wore one a couple times.



It's a dark blue mask with two cannons firing on it. I prefer this helmet, myself. He wore it during his first game, and half a period after the light blue mask was getting fixed a month or so ago.

And here's the one you might be familiar with:

Luongo, 2 seasons ago, actually had a seperate set of pads he'd use for different jerseys.

And from the post a few above me, the 1st and last masks for ward is looking goooood

I think he only wears the black mask whenever the Sharks wear their black sweaters. I noticed that he wore his normal mask in one "black sweater" game though. Maybe he just wears the black mask whenever he feels like it lol.

he had a black mask (and I think black pads also) for one game with the black sweaters. He only did it once though. Seems like a waste of money to make new pads and a new mask that you're never gonna wear

mostly when they wear black he wears his normal pads/helmet.

Thats pretty normal.

Hell, Dany Sabourin had entirely new equipment and a helmet for last year's Winter Classic...that he didn't play in.

NHL players make millions of dollars and the masks look cool in a display case.

I suspect they don't pay for the pads, because Nabokov wearing Vaughns is sure to sell Vaughn a few goalie pads.

The best part is the "C" on the chin. Take that, league policies!

He had one before that during his rookie season and has another for the alt jersey this year.

He sucked when he played in the Nickleback one, that got canned. The chin on the next one broke, that was auctioned off through NHL.com for chairity. Shame, I really liked it. Don't know what happened to blackbeard, the last is his current one.

Here's his rookie one:

And the alternate:

Brent Sutter make him keep a plain black mask in red deer, so once he made the NHL he went mask crazy.
