Last night, the Dallas Stars wore their blackout jerseys. With it, Anton Khudobin wore his custom blackout goalie mask, designed by Sylvie Marsolais and Alexandre Mathys. Marsolais has been designing Khudobin’s masks since 2013, and thus immediately got to work when the Stars revealed the alternate jersey last October:
“I remember seeing the skyline of Dallas with the green outline on it,” Marsolais said. “That’s why we had the idea to represent that on the mask; to represent the city and something more related to Dallas.”
The design retains many of the same elements as Khudobin’s other masks, such as spelling out his nickname, “Dobby,” and the presence of a certain house elf.
