The goalie masks were created for Jeremy Swayman of the Boston Bruins, Jacob Markström of the New Jersey Devils, Stuart Skinner of the Edmonton Oilers, Sam Montembeault of the Montréal Canadiens, Linus Ullmark of the Ottawa Senators, Joseph Woll of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and Thatcher Demko of the Vancouver Canucks.

When I was a kid my friends uncle was a HUGE Devils fan. He would sketch mask designs all the time and mail them to the Devils hoping they would choose one for a new goalie helmet.
I think a few years they ran an official contest for fan art on helmets. 🏒 🏑
