2008 IIHF World Hockey Championships Part II

Denmark

Patrick Galbraith: What can I say? Blank is boring.

Peter Hirsch: Definitely one of the more interesting designs. Includes Denmark's name, flag and colors.

Simon Nielsen: No photo


Finland

Petri Vehanen: From what I can see, a giant advertisement on your forehead does not make for a good looking mask

Niklas Backstrom: Like all of the other NHLers, he's wearing his teams (Minnesota) mask.

Karri Ramo: No Photo (But I assume he wore this)


France

Fabrice Lhenry: Blank blue, except for the logo and number on front.

Cristobal Huet:Same Capitals mask.

Eddy Ferhi: Did not play


Germany

Robert Muller: Another mask with the nation's colors (the best kind)

Dimitrij Kotschnew: Almost looks like the New Mexico Lobo

Dimitrij Patzold: Possibly his San Jose Sharks mask?

2008 IIHF World Hockey Championships Part I

I have no idea who's who in International hockey, but we speak the language of masks. Unfortunately, I haven't found any great close ups on the goalies themselves. But here is alittle rundown of all 16 teams in the field and their goalies.

Canada
You have probably heard of all their goalies, and seen their masks.

Cam Ward: Wearing the "Blackbeard" Hurricanes mask, or something similar.

Pascal LeClaire: "Rebel" Blue Jackets mask

Mathieu Garon: Hasn't played yet, but I expect he's wearing his current Oilers mask


Belarus
Not alot of action here

Stepan Goryachevskikh: No picture available

Vitali Koval: Plain white

Dzmitry Milchakou: Still has yet to play


Czech Republic

Milan Hnlilicka: One of the more interesting designs that is not in the NHL (anyone know where?) (Another shot here and here)

Marek Pinc: Too far away to see any detail.

Adam Svoboda: DNP
