hockey mask

Rink face protection

A hockey mask is a protective face covering worn by ice hockey goalies, made of hard molded plastic or fiberglass with ventilation holes.

The mask gained sinister cultural associations through the *Friday the 13th* horror films, where the killer Jason Voorhees wears one.

Now a hockey mask often evokes menace as much as athletics: The robber wore a hockey mask.
