Richard Sevigny with the red white and blue is one of my favorites, however I believe the only hockey card that shows it is in 83 but he's wearing it on his head like cheevers.
I’ve always thought the secret to a good hockey mask design is similar to a good flag design - The design should be simple enough that even an 8-year old could draw it. I’d add Wayne Stephenson 77 Flyers Bunny Larocque 82 Leafs John Garrett 82 Whalers Mike Palmateer 78 Leafs Billy Smith 77 Islanders
I'm 45 yrs old and 46 in a month. I had everyone of these cards growing up. When Upper Deck came out it ruined card trading. I mangled all my cards shooting them growing up. A canadian game we played as kids. Just take everyone's cards lol. My brother though has saved cards though that are mind blowing.
Esposito's mask with the cage addition has to be the ugliest but most endearingly unique in my opinion. The Cooper SK2000 with the HM30 cage is my personal favorite, despite not being painted.
And the action pose of Ridley on his card...later I wondered " How is there no obstruction from any of the players on the ice?" A perfect camera position....beautiful card.
Oh my stars,Cheevers' mask was *so* minimal. Ron Low played for the London Knights and one evening, he walked off the team bus in the middle of a snow storm, big story in the city at the time.
love the 10th place mask Corrado , Murray Bannerman well 8 should be number 1 Ken Dryden My favorite goalie Gary Innis Michel Dion Ron Low , Tony Esposito I don't like the bird cage mask Gerry Cheevers should be number 2? great list.
Something I've decided I'm going to do; go to my local photo shop, get a hockey card (or 5) I really liked as a kid, and get it blown up to 8x10..get a dollar store frame and put the actual hockey card in the frame with it...
I don't know why, but I grew up in a Winnipeg suburb and one day when playing street hockey a guy came out wearing actual goalie equipment...we were told it was Bannermans....not the mask tho
Doug Favell was one of my favorites, and that Rockies uniform in my opinion was one of the best uniforms ever. I was such a big fan of Doug’s that one time when our family was in Denver I looked in the phone book and actually found Doug’s phone number and address, I had my parents drive me to the address listed which was in Evergreen Colorado, I went to his home but nobody was home, anyway always wanted to meet Doug, he was definitely one of my childhood goalie heroes
I like reading some of the comments,what about so and so? I think people are forgetting that the card he show's are from his collection. And a lot of masks people have mentioned,have never been on a hockey card.
Cards that would have been in consideration for my top 10 list would be: 1976-77 OPC Ken Dryden. Most of his cards he was pictured without his iconic mask so this one will always be a favourite of mine. 1975-76 OPC Rogie Vachon All-Star card. Again most cards from that era don't show the goalies in action so this one makes my list. One of the cases where you don't need artwork to make a mask iconic. 1980-81 OPC John Davidson. This card always reminded me of the famous Ken Danby painting. Davidson's card from the previous year is pretty nice too. 1979-80 OPC Wayne Thomas. Just a cool mask I remember liking as a kid and the only card I had of him wearing it. 1980-80 OPC Mike Liut. Another iconic mask without paint. His mask can been seen in a few other of his cards but I like the pose on his rookie card the best. 1983-84 OPC Pelle Lindbergh. He only had two cards before his tragic death. Both feature him wearing his mask. These are just off the top of my head so there may be more cool mask cards I am forgetting. If you want cards with goalies wearing masks I recommend checking out the 1974-75 Lipton Soup cards. It is a small set but I think every goalie in the set is pictured wearing their mask.
When you showed your Ken Dryden card with the pinhole in it I was happy to see that I wasn't the only kid back then ruining his hockey cards. If only we knew to take of them ...
If we all knew they'd be worth money, we'd all have 100+ Gretzky rookies in mint condition...we all played with our cards, that's why they're worth so much.....
frozen curmudgeon O, okay my mistake. Didn’t pay attention to opening statements. Thought the video was about, the coolest of all time. If it was, in my opinion, Dryden’s white mask of the early 70’s, has to be the coolest. As a kid, I use to draw that mask for all my goalies. Thought it was so cool 😎
@@Biblelover1963 Kinda wonder why this one didn't make it. www.ebay.com/itm/Gilles-Gratton-New-York-Rangers-Custom-Hockey-Card-1976-77/222619050922 Also Dan Bouchards flaming mask from the Altlanta days is why I've been a Flames fan since I was 8.
Paul FUN no Michael Myers mask was actual made from an old Captain Kirk mask they just dyed the skin and hair of the mask. Jason from Friday the 13th was inspired from old goalie masks though.
Doug Favell was the first goalie to paint his mask in the 1973-74 season playing for Toronto. He had a Maple Leaf painted over the top of his eye holes on the forehead of the mask.
@@harveyabel1354 Worse yet for the Leafs: They traded away Doug Favell's former tandem, a Mr. Bernard Marcel Parent. In the early Flyer days, my favorite was Favell. I still have one of his catching gloves. Seeing him inspired me to play goalie, and speaking of masks, I've worn all the different styles from the 60's to the modern style. But anyway, after Bernie was traded away to Toronto and wound up under the tutelage of Jaques Plante, he returned to the Flyers to be the preeminent goaltender of the NHL. Funny story: Bernie attends my church frequently. He says to me one night, "I could have used you playing in front of me." (I'm 6'3", and heavier than my old playing weight of 225). I told him, "Bernie, I was a better goalie than I was defenseman, and I was not a very good goalie!" Point of correction: Grant, Favell had his mask painted bright orange when he was in Philly. That was well before the 73-74 season, obviously.
@@jimtownsend7899 Fun story. Fave mask I used before the cage came in was the Plante model made in Magog, Quebec. Sigh...Toronto's the only place where the Leafs fall in the spring.. :(
@@harveyabel1354 😄Toronto and Philly have a lot of suffering in common, but you guys have a better sense of humor about it. I had 2 of those Plante masks. Both of them cracked right on the cheekbone when I took shots to the melon. I still have a scar on my check.
@@jimtownsend7899 Mine lasted no problem. Though I once took a shot off my blocker that felt kinda funny...turned out my stick actually broke! Most unusual. Don't forget, Mr. Rask of the Bruins was once in the Leafs system. Argh....
Would have liked to see Brian Heyward's Sharks mask and John Vanbiesbrouck's gold Panther's mask.
@@pajamatime5750 Yes Potvin's was sick too!
Ron low's card has Quebec Nordiques at the top but he's wearing Washington Capitals gear
I always thought Mike Liut's mask made him look pretty fierce!
Great stuff, love goalie masks, wish they put em in NHL20
Great video but where is the 82 83 OPC 🐰 Laroque?
the ron low card picture was used on three different cards,77 78 o pee chee,79 80 o pee chee,and 80 81 o pee chee.
Good list.... Mike Palmateer's leaf mask was my fav as a kid
Richard Sevigny with the red white and blue is one of my favorites, however I believe the only hockey card that shows it is in 83 but he's wearing it on his head like cheevers.
What about Graton's Tiger mask
It's great but it has gotten tiresome over the years. Leo the Lion.
Could you do a part 2 of 80's and/or 90's masks ??? Great content and backstories in this one ! Thank you
My all time favourite is Kirk McLean / Vancouver Canucks Portrait Checklist card from the 91/92 Upperdeck set.
I was hoping the 1977-78 OPC Curt Ridley card/mask would have made your list. Epic mask, combined with a great action shot.
I was looking for that one as well. Favourite when I was a kid.
That was and still is my favourite mask / card
I still wonder how a player on the ice from either team didn't obstruct the photo....one of my fave cards.
I’ve always thought the secret to a good hockey mask design is similar to a good flag design - The design should be simple enough that even an 8-year old could draw it.
I’d add
Wayne Stephenson 77 Flyers
Bunny Larocque 82 Leafs
John Garrett 82 Whalers
Mike Palmateer 78 Leafs
Billy Smith 77 Islanders
Gary Bones Bromley is my favorite. Favell's orange mask. Chico Resch's Long Island mask. Gilles Villemure Yellow Mask
I'm 45 yrs old and 46 in a month. I had everyone of these cards growing up. When Upper Deck came out it ruined card trading. I mangled all my cards shooting them growing up.

Esposito's mask with the cage addition has to be the ugliest but most endearingly unique in my opinion. The Cooper SK2000 with the HM30 cage is my personal favorite, despite not being painted.
Gary Bromley's skull mask is the best of all time.
Glaring omissions from 77-78 card set: Curt Ridley, Pete LoPresti, Gary Smith.
1976 Ken Dryden is the most beautiful goalie card of all time. Nice video though.
Belfour's mask looked even better once he came to Dallas.
I thought for sure 80-81 OPC Mike Liut would be in there.
I liked the early 70's mask Dryden had
Ed Staniowski's blue note mask is my fav...
I always liked Hasek's Redwings helmet
Bernie Parent and Rogie Vachon!!! My fav... Curt Ridley with the tripped out Canuck rink n’ stick logo.
And the action pose of Ridley on his card...later I wondered " How is there no obstruction from any of the players on the ice?" A perfect camera position....beautiful card.
Corrados mask is kinda terrifying. I'll never not associate these masks with Jason/creepy murderers.
Cujo's mask with the leafs was bad ass
Ever check out the "Between the Pipes" collection? It's only goalies and there's even inserts featuring just goalie masks.
Thanks. I too like the retro masks.
Wayne Stephenson with the Flyers, 79-80 OPC. Great mask!
That particular Belfour mask is “owned” by the hockey hall of fame. Belfour auctioned off his second Harrison mask.
Hab fan here...but I absolutely love Gilles Gilbert late 70's mask! Also 80's Dennis Herron.
Ken Dryden rookie card classic pretzel mask. Very rare if not unique back then for a card to use a picture of a goalie actually wearing his mask.
Oh my stars,Cheevers' mask was *so* minimal.
Ron Low played for the London Knights and one evening, he walked off the team bus in the middle of a snow storm, big story in the city at the time.
love the 10th place mask Corrado ,
Murray Bannerman
well 8 should be number 1 Ken Dryden My favorite goalie
Gary Innis
Michel Dion
Ron Low ,
Tony Esposito
I don't like the bird cage mask
Gerry Cheevers should be number 2?
great list.
Worst goalie mask top 10 ever!
Grant Fuhr’s 83-86 is the coolest ever! And Michel Dions Pittsburgh mask!
What about favorite goalie masks of the Modern Era. I’m a big Ghostbusters fan and I like Talbot’s mask.
Something I've decided I'm going to do; go to my local photo shop, get a hockey card (or 5) I really liked as a kid, and get it blown up to 8x10..get a dollar store frame and put the actual hockey card in the frame with it...
John Davidson Rangers mask 1978 79 was one of my favorite
I don't know why, but I grew up in a Winnipeg suburb and one day when playing street hockey a guy came out wearing actual goalie equipment...we were told it was Bannermans....not the mask tho

for me, its pelle's mask, it is just what i think of if you said "hockey mask" simple, effective
Adding Belfours beautiful mask was a mistake. Should have kept it in the 70s and 80s. By adding belfour, you add every modern mask to the mix
A goalie mask list without P.Lalime and F.Potvin isnt going to work.
What bout Broadway Baker. Steve Baker of the New York Rangers? Loved that mask.
Gilles Gratton wolf mask with Rangers
Palmateer's 3 leaf mask was completely awesome
Mine is mike liut or 79/80 low card
Andy moog with Boston had a sweet mask
The first mask looks like a face cast
Gary Bromley got robbed here
Pele Lindburgh and Cujo
Ok we see you like the old school masks and don't have much regard for the mid modern masks. Your title for this video is a misleading.
I love the stories and telling us where the players are today even if it was only in the NHL for short time
Great list. Love those old time pre-cage masks. Brings back memories.
Brian Hayward and Gilles Gratton.
I have a Gary Inness autographed card when he played for the Penguins
I think you missed a lot Atlanta New York
What he said, Ddryden's original
I still have my cards from the 70ies

72-73 NHL ALL STARS WEST Tony Esposito!! Can't find that card anywhere in Winnipeg...
I would have put Gerry Cheevers mask as #1. That mask is iconic! I am glad you included Ken Dryden's mask! He was my hero growing up.
It's a lame card though.
David Rittch goalie mask

Buddy, I can’t believe you missed Ken Dryden’s 1970 mask. That has to be the coolest ever!
Was it on a hockey card? If not then thats why its not included.

Check out the price of the card!!!
Dryden was wearing that early mask on his rookie card!

Also Dan Bouchards flaming mask from the Altlanta days is why I've been a Flames fan since I was 8.
That first mask looks like the eye holes are where his nostrils are
Micalef just had a bulbous head.
Hi
The 1st goalie mask made is my favourite
Worn by Clint Benedict?
Gerry Cheevers had to have been the inspiration to the mask worn by the killer in Helloween. A great little list I enjoyed it.
Paul FUN no Michael Myers mask was actual made from an old Captain Kirk mask they just dyed the skin and hair of the mask. Jason from Friday the 13th was inspired from old goalie masks though.
