goalie helmet

Goalkeeper's protective mask

A goalie helmet is the protective headgear worn by hockey goalkeepers, designed to absorb impacts from pucks traveling at high speeds.

Unlike player helmets, goalie helmets feature a cage or full face mask and extended coverage at the throat and back of the head.

Goalies often customize theirs with elaborate painted designs: His goalie helmet has a snarling tiger on the mask.
