For all those fans of Henrik Lundqvist, an annual ritual of the Swedish netminder is the announcement of his new goalie mask for the season.
It’s almost an anticipated event for fans of the Rangers team.
The mask symbolizes the turning of a new leaf. A rebirth of a team. The reset of fortunes missed from the previous year.
No doubts, this is not an exception to that.

At first glance, his headgear for the upcoming 2015-2016 season is similar to the what he wore in 2013-2014 and 2014-2015.
