History

The first mask was a crude leather model (actually a football "nose-guard") worn by ClintBenedict in the 1920s to protect his broken nose.

[1]After recovering from the injury, he never

used it again. Jacques Plante was the first to wear a mask full-time after being struck in the facewith a puck during a game in 1959.

[2]Although Plante faced some derision, the fiberglass goalie

mask soon became the standard and a symbol of the game as typified by the famous painting,"At The Crease," by Ken Danby. This style of mask is no longer used by hockey leagues; yet itsfame continues because of its continued use by horror icon Jason Voorhees of the Friday the13thmovie series.

[3]Since the invention of the fiberglass hockey mask, professional goalies no

longer play without a mask. The last goalie not to wear a mask was Andy Brown, who last playedin the National Hockey League (NHL) in the 1973-74 season.

[4]

The advent of the goalie mask changed the way goaltenders play, allowing them to make moresaves on their knees without fear of serious head or facial injuries. Before the advent of the mask,most goaltenders stayed standing as much as possible. In the modern era, a goaltender is likelyto make the majority of saves when he has one or both knees on the ice.

Art: Paper Mache Goalie Masks (make sure the students arefrontloaded with some images of NHL masks and the symmetrythat goes into creating the images. This is a fantastic opportunityto extend symmetry from the Math curriculum.

One paper mache website link to explain how to :http://familycrafts.about.com/cs/makingmasks/l/blpmchface.htm

This activity could be combined with an Intermediate buddyclass to encourage students to work with each other. Studentscan work in small groups to create group masks instead of 1
