"I always wanted to remind myself who I am playing for when I hit the ice," Plotnik said, "and a reminder to always work hard because they don’t have the same opportunities as me." Matt Murray, UMass Plotnik included his friend Jaxon Joseph's number 13 on the chin of his helmet to honor him. The back of the helmet features a trio of "minions," a throwback to Plotnik's helmets in junior hockey and a reference to a line on his team that was dubbed the "minion line" because of their height.Īlso included in the design is a tribute that many NCAA netminders replicated - a remembrance of members of the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team. Plotnik and his painter, Allen Schneider at Vice Design, made sure the details were top notch as well, including a honeycomb design throughout the mask and small AIC logos throughout. Plotnik wanted the AIC tradition to stand out on his mask, so he made sure to include two big Yellow Jackets and the AIC logo on the front.
This mask has a lot going on, and every piece of it is awesome. Here, in no particular order, are the winners. We scoured the league and pulled our favorite picks for the coolest college hockey goalie masks. Simple or crazy, that mask is one of the few things attackers look at as they crash the net. Designs range from a personal message for the man behind the mask to wild art showing school spirit. The paint on a goalie’s mask doesn’t end up there by accident.
