Talk:Goaltender mask

Correction

Quote: " . . . Plante gave Blake an ultimatum, refusing to go back out onto the ice without the mask, to which Blake obliged not wanting to forfeit the game since the Canadiens did not have a back-up goaltender."

There would not have been a forfeit. Had Plante not returned, the Canadiens would have been forced to use one of their other players in goal, or else use the "house goalie" provided by the home team. That was the standard practice throughout the 1950s. This would have been Joe Schafer who was a trainer in the Rangers organization, and actually did see action in a few NHL games in similar circumstances. WHPratt (talk) 18:47, 4 June 2009 (UTC) That's "Schaefer." His New York Times obituary was published on January 24, 2001, and it stated that he worked for an office equipment company, but was also a part-time Ranger employee as a statistician, penalty timekeeper, goal judge and practice goalie. On a couple of occasions in 1960 and 1961, Gump Worsley got injured and Schaefer tended the Ranger goal, losing both times, but not too badly.WHPratt (talk) 17:42, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

"House Goalie" (or "Emergency Goalkeeper," as the rulebook used to have it) could be a fascinating article to research. I'd guess that it is unparalled in team sports. One position on the team is singled out as entirely too specialized for just any teammate to staff . . . so we draft a civilian, who may even have loyalties to the wrong team. (Did someone decide that the paying spectators deserved to see a "real" goalkeeper in the nets, wherever he came from?) Can you imagine a major league baseball team with an injured catcher refusing to let its utility infielder assume the role, but instead using a retired minor league catcher who happens to be under contract to the opposing team? Or a pro football team borrowing a kicker for the fourth quarter? Ridiculous! WHPratt (talk) 16:52, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Fans of goaltender trivia should check the talk page on Jerry Toppazzini, for my notes on his short stint as a goalie and identification of another house goalie, Wally “Gunzo” Humeniuk. WHPratt (talk) 19:24, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

New Section

Should there be a section on how the mask is produced?24.15.175.163 (talk) 15:05, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Tactical face masks...

I think this article needs to mention/link to an article about these: http://www.bluedefense.com/ballistic-face-masks/ (not public domain) tactical face masks. Khallus Maximus (talk) 22:42, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Dead external link

• Head Case: Weird, Wild Hockey Masks - slideshow by Life magazine

Life.com no longer has this slide show on their site, at all, according to their search function (for hockey mask). Removed from article. Khallus Maximus (talk) 01:43, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

In Film claim

Is the claim made in the 'in film' section correct? What other examples are there of horror villains other than Jason that wears a goalie mask? The claim is also unsourced, so it seems questionable as to whether this section should be included. Deleting unless some sources could be supplied. -Xcuref1endx (talk) 03:47, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Hamburgler Mask

There's a number of examples of decorative masks at the bottom of the page...but where is the iconic Hamburgler? Can someone do the legwork and use this picture? :) [[1]] The Legacy (talk) 01:11, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

What about Hannibal Lecter?

Since there's a pic of movie character "Jason Voorhees" wearing a hockey mask, why not have a pic of another well-known villainous movie character wearing a different hockey mask?

"'Hannibal the Cannibal' Lecter" wore a mask in The Silence of the Lambs (granted it was not worn for the entire movie) that appears to be based on Jacques Plante's fiberglass one from 1959.

How about a pic of that?

Maybe combine the Voorhees and Lecter pics & info into a "Popular culture" or "In film" section?

Just a thought. 2600:8800:786:A300:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 00:41, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
