Gifts of Glory

Its that time of year. The time where goalie mask lovers hope to get a mask related gift but never do. I'm here for you. Even if the gift is for yourself.
So without further ado, I give you the top six Mask Gifts for the Christmas Season.

6. Team Mini Mask
Plain? Yes, but these masks are perfect for autographs and to put on display.
You can find team selection here.

5. Evolution of the Mask
I cam across these gems on the NHL Store. You can get them framed or unframed

4. Upper Deck Mini Mask
In 2002 the card company Upper Deck inserted Miniature Replica masks into certain boxes of hockey cards. Now, you can find them on eBay.

3. McFarlanes Figure
I've talked about these before, and nothing has changed since. Find out more here.

2. Saving Face
This is number one on my list, and if I don't get it, I'll be getting it myself. If you haven't heard about it, Saving Face is a book about goalie masks. Must Read.

1. Replica Mask from Masks From the Past
Wow! It might not fit everyone's price range, but I can dream can't I? The best gift ever can be found right here.

10 Best Masks of the Year: 3




















3. Mathieu Garon

Ah fire and ice, blue and red. Even though it's technically orange oil, you get the idea. Who would have thought to put ice on a Oilers mask? Come to think of it, why name a team that plays on ice Oilers in the first place? Anywho, awesome mask. The one downside: the RBK logo. But, what can ya do?
