Goalie masks are a facet of goaltender’s personalities. Some masks include very personal mementos, such as a child or significant other’s initials. Some celebrate the heritage of the wearer, such as a country flag or national icon.
Whatever the direction in which the design is taken, David Gunnarsson has been there to help bring their vision to life. He’s designed Ben Bishop’s lightning-energy glow-in-the-dark masks for years.
He also recently did a new mask for Dallas Stars prospect Jake Oettinger, who is in his first year of professional hockey playing for the AHL Texas Stars.
