In the high-stakes world of hockey, the battle on the ice often plays out like a comic book. But in this story, the heroes aren’t the forwards or defensemen... they are the goalies.Just like every superhero needs a signature mask, these goalies wear masks that reflect their personalities and unique flair.For Utah Roadrunner goalie Matt Villalta, his mask this season embraces a playful theme inspired by the animated movie Cars.'We did a Cars theme this year,' he explained.
'I'm really happy to have the cross and my home country’s flag on every mask. It’s a big part of me, and I'm really proud of it,' Vejmelka said.Finally, there’s starter goalie Conner Ingram, whose design is inspired by his own tattoos.'It's meant to look like tattoos. I send it to the designer, he sends it back, and that's basically it,' Ingram said.
