Echo Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Reminds me of the mask that Teiji Honma wore for Japan at the 1936 Olympics. I can't tell from the pictures I've seen if he's wearing round-framed glasses under the mask or if that's part of the mask itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 It might be both. The pic on the left makes it look like both glasses and mask, and the pic on the right clearly shows that the mask itself is shaped that way. I can't see how that style of mask (talking about the modern one in the OP) would provide any benefit over the standard cage style. It looks like it would actually obstruct more of the goalie's vision. 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

According to his wiki, he wore glasses and the wire cage was designed to fit over his glasses and to be narrower than the puck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirill_The_Thrill97 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 This picture seems to show that he's wearing glasses, and the rings are also part of the mask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
