Goalie Equipment: Post Trade/Call Up

[billman29]

A visual that is always kind of bizarre looking to me is when, for understandable circumstantial reasons, a goalie is forced to don his old team's equipment after a trade. The only example I can think of this year was Ben Bishop after his move from Ottawa, but there obviously have been other instances of this in history

Ben Bishop 2013 (Ottawa to Tampa Bay)

Felix Potvin 1999 (Toronto to New York Islanders)

Ed Belfour 1997 (Chicago to San Jose)

Patrick Roy 1995 (Montreal to Colorado)

Mike Vernon 2000 (San Jose To Florida)

Sean Burke 1998 (Carolina to Vancouver)

I remember back in the day Johan Hedberg to Pittsburgh wore his blue Manitoba Moose helmet. He went on a winning streak and kept it the rest of the year. I still have the foam moose antlers they gave out in the playoffs that year. He ended up keeping the design, but putting it back in Pittsburgh colors. The NHL game that year (who gives the goalies generic helmets) even had his blue mask.

Goalie equipment also takes a while to break in (even a mask).

Came in to post Bishop, but this happened too. Dwayne Roloson

Couple more:

Jeff Hackett, 2003 (Montreal to Boston)

Bill Ranford, 1997 (Boston to Washington

[Edubdesign]

JS Giguere (Ducks to Leafs)

Jose Theodore (Habs to Avs)

Mike Leighton (Canes to Flyers)

Ed Belfour (Hawks to Sharks) (I know it's linked above, but I can't see the linked image)

Brian Elliott (Sens to Avs)

And then, there's this classic monstrosity from Jeff Hackett.

Something else that's seen regularly after a move: Generic equipment

Miikka Kiprusoff, 2004 (Sharks to Flames)

Grant Fuhr, 1995 (Buffalo to Los Angeles)

and previously in 1993....

From Toronto to Buffalo

Are we limiting this to NHL? Because there's a whole other world in the AHL and even more so in the AA and A level leagues.

Dustin Tokarski was traded from Tampa/Syracuse to Montreal/Hamilton

for Cedric Desjardins

Oh dear ... that beard is quite mighty!

What's kind of funny about that Belfour/Sharks look was that they used it for one of his cards.

[El Scorcho]

Are there examples of goalies wearing the old pads against their old team? That would be fascinating

How about Martin Biron? (Best picture I can find)

Cripes, is that a Belfour mask?
