daffy Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Awesome, im sure he'll be in touch soon. I asked him abot my mask damage about 10 days ago. I know he has to keep working to get masks out to you guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIFTY-SIX Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 @BadAngle41 and @TheGoalNet : As requested, my tribute to the full-Fibrosport masks worn by Jacques Plante and Bernie Parent in 1971-72. Research photos followed by tribute mask. Protechsport faux-label with Michel's signature and Laval, Quebec done to pay homage to Jacques' original sticker. Also, "weathered" to show fiberglass weave and rust stains suggesting a "garage-sale find." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIFTY-SIX Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Another Protechsport mask. Inspired by Wayne Stephenson's famous Flyers mask of the late 1970's. Research photos followed by tribute mask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike24 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 That’s a sharp looking mask 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naz Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Good looking mask. I too, like @TheGoalNet would like to know your cages, they look like cages for an Eddy Mask. First thought I had was the Princess Cruises logo as inspirtation haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daffy Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Well Michel got back to me. Said the chip in the chin looks like more than just paint. Told me to send it back and he'll fix it for free! Great service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty similar but the perimeter wire is one piece and has one weld mid way up the side The cage Michel uses has a perimeter wire thats made up of four pieces and is welded at the top and bottom of each side. This is how Harrison did it back in the day. Probably a carry over from when his masks just had cut down HM30s @FIFTY-SIX, that blue mask is a beauty. Thats how all paint should be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the detail on the shown fiberglass and the "garage-sale find" as you out it. Well thought out and executed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Ok so I FINALLY got my mold done for Michel...only 2 months later than should have been. I probably would have already had my mask by now if I would have done it when he wanted me to. Hopefully mailing it out today after work.

havok Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) I've had my mask sine 02/2011 Still going strong, the padding in my backplate has shown signs of lifting, and i am thinking of refurbishing it, just to refresh it a bit, but I will never change masks, or go to any other company for my mask needs. I am lucky to live 20 minutes by car from him. I just found an image from GSBB I had posted when i first go it! Wow!

SaveByRichter35 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 So I heard back from Michel, my mold arrived safe and sound. However, it did not make it in time for the June production run so it will be made in July. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew37 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Had my Brodeur model that was built in 2014 refurbished by Michel and it's absolutely gorgeous. All new foam, harness, snaps and buckles. Also had it repainted from a glossy navy blue to the matte white. Love it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motowngoalie Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Here's my homemade calipers from the Sportmask template I'm going this route instead of the mold. I made sure the ends were exact, but cutting out the middle without mangling the cardboard was more than my patience could bear. Pulling the trigger tomorrow, pretty excited! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motowngoalie Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Placed my order! Michel's lead time is currently 24-25 weeks, so I'm looking at a December delivery realistically... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taco Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Anyone have a picture of the inside of the backplate with the hidden straps? Trying to decide how important that is. I am used to straps on the outside. On my 11th year in a Protech Kevlar...feeling like it's time to add to the family. I'm thinking the Potvin Harrison look if I can fit it, otherwise a late 90's-00's Lefebvre. Murdered out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
