Goalie masks.

I found this interesting article on the various goaltender's masks over on the fan house. Check out all of the art work. It is nice to see the former NCAA stars: Rick DiPietro, Tim Thomas, Ryan Miller, Marty Turco and Ed Belfour's

The first picture is former Michigan State goalie and Hobey Baker Winner Ryan Miller mask.

Former University of Vermont and current Boston Bruins all star goalie Tim Thomas.

Boston Bruins net minder Tim Thomas used to wear this cage with a "Beware of Bear" sign on the side, but he has changed his mask this season to reflect the team's uniform change.

Here former BU star Rick DiPietro's mask is in my opinion one of the nicest goalie masks in the NHL. Dipietro's mask has a very patriot theme to it.

NHL Goalie Masks: Rick DiPietro
Massachusetts native Rick DiPietro honors U.S. veterans with his patriotic mask. The goalie's dad says "It honors the flag and honors my service. It means a lot to me as a father."

Fighting Sioux fans will remember this guys mask. This is the mask that Eddie the Eagles first wore when he broke into the NHL

Eagle Mask
Throughout his career, Belfour has worn masks featuring an eagle on either side of his helmet. When asked why an eagle, he stated "I've always liked the eagle as a bird. It is a strong figure representing individuality, leadership, confidence, and outstanding vision. Its hunting and aggression are characteristics I admire, So when I was thinking of what I wanted on my mask, the eagle was a natural choice". Belfour's eagle has changed dramatically, from a rough Native looking style in Chicago, to a fierce competitive image in Dallas, while the background always features his current team's colours. On the chin, there is an image of the logo for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a charity very close to Eddie's heart, and the back plate highlights Eddie's passion for speed and restored cars. The car on the back is a 1941 Willys, along with the words Carman Racing, which is the name of Ed's Car customization and restoration shop in Freeland, Michigan. Upon seeing Belfour's eagle mask for the first time, Mike Keenan, his head coach when he started in the NHL, nicknamed him "The Eagle".[5]
