Can you envision a day when ';face-hugger'; goalie masks make a return, albeit with advancements?

No Bill I don't . But if they were why not fashion them like a stylized version of a gladiator helmet to cover the head. If you are going back in time go all the way back ,metal and allCan you envision a day when ';face-hugger'; goalie masks make a return, albeit with advancements?
No, I don't. Too many goalies use the current style mask to express their personality or to make a personal statement via airbrushing. From musical artists they enjoy to political statements to a heart-felt personal expression, the modern mask has become a 'billboard' of sorts for today's goalie.

I don't see the trend changing or reverting any time soon.Can you envision a day when ';face-hugger'; goalie masks make a return, albeit with advancements?
No, the sight in them sucks and it hurts like hell when a puck hits off one, no matter the technology. The current mask is so good that even baseball back catchers are using a form of them.





They did look cool though, and more intimidating to shooters.
Having seen pictures of them, I would really rather not. I already wear the widowmaker (Itech Profile 1000 - it was the cheapest CSA approved goalie helmet I could afford eh, at 100$ US) but it's held up amazing well.
Not Likely, mostly because Of The Goalies Safety
No.. most likely not...





the ones goalies wear now are more protective
