I’m 63 years old. Would love to hear the history of goalie pads, gloves and other equipment. As a kid who started with Cooper leather pads stuffed with horsehair and felt, I’m blown away by the new lightweight foam and nylon pads. You could never play Butterfly style with the old gear, it weighed a TON!!!

As someone who's fascinated by the early history of hockey, this is a great! So many of these types of videos just start at Jacques Plante and it's great to see one talking about all the interesting stuff before him.
-
as a catcher in baseball, goalie in hockey and lacrosse (But not really I played Midi and attack mostly). I clicked this video super fast. We used to use a face mask with a backwards helmet. when I first wore my hockey helmet to a baseball game I was laughed at and one year later every catcher in the country was wearing them :)
-
When I saw this video was 31 minutes long, I was like "Oh no way am I watching that in one sitting!" but it was so well done and flowed so seamlessly that time flew by and here I am 31 minutes later. You have a great talent for making these types of videos. Well done! It was absolutely excellent!
-
I imagine the biggest improvements on goalie masks in the next 20 years will be the placement of the straps so they don't come off mid game and lighter materials.
-
I was low-key holding my breath the whole way through when talking about the 80's, expecting to see the gruesome Clint Malarchuk injury that led many goaltenders to use neck protection! This being said, this is some grade-A professional in-depth research like I've never seen on this topic. I fully expect this video to blow up really soon with this much quality
-
As a sports historian (albeit, lacrosse) I absolutely love the outstanding detail and documentation here (showing the newspaper clipppings) of the pre-Clint Benedict instances. I think those weird East German full mask and helmet combos @10:50 were still in use as late as the late 1980s. Loved all the Jofa combo details with the cage masks of the 1980s-1990s. Again, outstanding detail in this clip.

When I was younger a friend of mine. Who played as goalie in winter and catcher in summer. Said he wished catchers mask took inspiration from the goalies "modern mask". I thought about him when the modern catcher masks started appearing. Nice that it somehow made full circle. With early goalies using baseball catcher mask of yesteryears to modern hockey giving back to baseball.

Fully expect this to go viral, extremly well put together video!
-
Love the old goalie mask from the 60's and 70's. Thought I've seen them all but every so often I'll see one that I've never seen before. My favorite is Ed Staniowski's Blues mask...
-
One of the first masks was made by a friend of mine Greg Harrison and worn byJim Rutherford. Harrison went on to custom make masks for a number of NHL goalies.
-
An excellent video -- well written, interesting visuals, and narrative flow. The research appears to be extensive and accurate. The best hockey doc I've seen in several years. Recommended.

I still rock a Cooper SK2000/HM30 combo to this day. Getting into hockey in the early to mid 90’s as a kid in Detroit, I loved Osgood, and the helmet/cage combo. It’s comfortable to me and it feels less claustrophobic. If I could afford to have a custom mage made for me, I’d maybe get one to try out. But the Cooper SK2000 is here to stay.
-
Absolutely enjoyed this informative video . I thought is was funny how Cheevers got caught slacking off by Harry Sinden. All goalies today can be thankful that Jacques Plante had the fortitude to not go back in the net unless he wore his mask. Thanks very much .
-
This was the most comprehensive and informative mask video i've seen to date and i've seen a lot of them. It was fun to see some of the old styles i have worn over the years. Thanks so much.

Where my dad grew up in NJ right outside of philly he had a neighbor across the street... That guy was Bernie Parent.. I could tell some odd things he used to do.. Anyway, he gave my dad and his 4 brothers his first mask he ever wore... 5 boys my dad and his brothers lost it of course... I wish I got to see it.

Blessing I found this video and channel Edit: I didn’t know this was the same channel that had the Wayne Gretzky highlights video I remember watching and using for a school project years ago
-
I had one of those old cooper masks with the side bumpers during my youth hockey years. It was cool because you could pop the bumpers off and get whatever colors your team was. My helmet was black but I had red bumpers because we were the cardinals. But they had all kinds. Green, white, red, yellow, orange etc. No company has done that since that I noticed.

Why tf am I watching this 😂
