Painted Hockey Goalie Masks
One of the best parts about playing goalie in ice hockey is the fact that they get to wear such unique goalie equipment. However, out of all the great gear that goalies get to wear, the most popular item in the goaltender’s hockey bag though is the hockey goalie mask. There are many hockey players that can tell you that they made the switch from forward to goalie because they wanted to wear the goalie equipment and more specifically the hockey goaltender masks.
The reason why ice hockey goalie masks are so popular with hockey players and fans alike, is due to the fact that they are so customizable due to the ability to deck them out with incredibly elaborate paint jobs. While many amateur hockey goalies in youth hockey leagues and adult hockey leagues might not be able to afford the amazing paint jobs that you see on National Hockey League goaltenders today. The paint jobs that you see on hockey goalie masks on television and at professional hockey games would cost the average goaltender thousands of dollars, so obviously it is not a surprise that you do not see the high quality elaborate paint jobs in amateur leagues due to the fact that many people simply cannot afford it.
The good news is that there are alternatives for goaltenders who want a decent paint job, but can’t afford it. Some hockey goalie mask manufacturers actually sell masks with painted designs already on them. Sometimes the pre-painted goalie masks will have replicas of paint jobs that certain NHL goaltenders have had, and some of them come with a generic design that still looks great. Another option for goalies that want their masks painted for an affordable price is to go out and find an amateur air brush artist or painter that is willing to paint a mask at an affordable price. You can also take your mask to an auto body shop and see if you could get a pin stripe design, which would probably be quite affordable and you can be sure it gets done right because they would know how to finish the mask with a clear coat properly.
Painted hockey goalie masks are getting more and more elaborate each year, and the professional goalies that get custom masks made to suit their personality are getting more creative each year as well. I have always enjoyed seeing professional goalies masks, but these days the paint jobs are starting to blow my mind because they are amazing works of art.
