Hockey goalie mask designs are some of the most creative pieces of artwork on the planet. From designs that appear simple, yet reveal detail like you wouldn’t believe up close; to mask paintjobs that are intricate through and through. Goalie helmets give the person wearing them a chance to display things about themselves that no other person on the ice can.

We’ve written about how to paint a goalie mask (and even painted a couple ourselves), however, for the purposes of this article, we’re going to take a look at some of the coolest goalie helmets of all time.

Purple “Sketch Pen” Look

This mask was painted by Grangroth Graphics, designed to have a “sketch” feel. Best part about this mask? The white inside the purple, how it flows down the chin.
