goalie mask

Netminder's face armor

A goalie mask is a protective face covering worn by ice hockey goalkeepers.

The mask shields against pucks traveling at high speeds.

Before the 1960s, goalies played bare-faced.

The goalie mask has become iconic in horror imagery through the *Friday the 13th* films, where the killer Jason Voorhees wears a distinctive hockey mask.
