There are many personal items on a goaltenders mask. They can range from a loved one's initials or name, a favorite band, or most commonly a nickname.
But my favorite tributes are the ones that include the players from the past. Sometimes they are just honoring the team's greatest moments (Wade Dubielewicz), or players (Andrew Raycroft). Of course, there are some who chose their favorite players from childhood. Case in point: Jaroslav Halak, honoring Patrick Roy, and Mikael Tellqvist, with Thomas Steen and Bobby Hull. Tellqvist updated that mask, but switched the former players for Dale Howerchuck. Of course, some choose to narrow it down to the team that they play for, and the position they play, right Chris?
