Don't know if it was shown here before, but Ville Husso's mask is a BEAUTY!!!! The design even continues onto the backplate. Simple, effective and totally matches the team's image. Red straps too, nice touch.

Picture to prove your point

Jake Allen with a new mask last week-end. I usually like simple mask paintjobs, but not sure about this one. I would have added a couple of stripes on the sides and I would have make the window white. Something like that.

Yeah maybe. I just don't remember why I had a natural colored one. I've never seen an other Koho like this after but damn I've tried. Heaton sticks were unpainted but they were breaking way too fast.

It was a Koho Evolution Stick, the one endorsed by Bob Sauvé.

Hayward with 20 wins and 2.90 AVG, those are great numbers for the late 80's, especially for a back-up.

I sold them when I stopped playing after my Junior years. I'm pretty sure I'd still play in them if I'd kept them.

Is it OK if the action picture is from 1995? That was my favorite set prior the profly box pads : Ferland Victory pads Koho Revolution gloves CCM Supra pants Brian's C/A with lots of modifications Cooper kneepads Bauer skates Protechsport original mask with Hextal paintjob.

Me too. But when it's almost all white because it has a touch of nostalgia (like Allen with the old Brian's logo and star graphic) I may like it.

Now I see it! But I don't think Hayward had these pads for a long period of time.

Jake Allen's 2nd Brian's set of the season. But I think this would have matched better

Not sure about Primeau's set. Looks good on this picture but from afar (stands or on TV), it looks like a mess.

Jake Allen in a full Brian's set this year.

I'm working on something totally custom right now. I hope to be able to show pictures real soon. But the way I was thinking is: Making a neck-guard for those who hates neck-guards. I stopped wearing neck-guards (and danglers) when I started playing semi-pro in 2004. It was affecting my head mobility and downward vision and I've prefer to take that risk and "playing better". But now, at the point that I am (beer leagues), I'm tired of collar bones bruises but still can't stand wearing a neck-guard. I can't stand having something bulky wrapped around my neck. So I went into a little project and get a fully custom one. Also, my neck measures something like 21.5" and I couldn't find one that fits me in stores.

The first Koho Revolution pads! Totally hated them. Heavy, too stiff, the weight seemed unbalanced. They were just plain odd for me. Patrick Roy had his pads rebuild by Lefebvre just before the 1993 playoffs, so I think I wasn't the only one who didn't liked them LOL Loved the Koho Revolution gloves though.
