Goalies masks are iconic and provide insight into who they are as a person off the ice. Some of the most iconic masks in organization history are documented.
With it being NHL goalie week, it got me thinking about nostalgic goalie masks worn by Colorado Avalanche/ Quebec Nordiques netminders over the years. Of course there are the famous masks league wide – Cujo’s dog, Belfour’s eagle, Hasek’s unique, Soviet era style, mask – and some classic masks that aren’t so famous. With the vibrant color scheme of the Quebec Nordiques and the uniqueness of the Colorado Avalanche scheme, the team has had quite a few entertaining masks – some even iconic.
