08:24 AM ET 08.22 | Chris Mason will put a new spin on the phrase "rocking a goalie mask" this upcoming season. Mason, the veteran netminder, told InGoal Magazine this week he'll be wearing a mask painted by Steve Nash of Eyecandyair that features the Jets' new logo and a tribute to heavy-metal masters Iron Maiden. "We went back and forth, lots of phone calls, and I sent Steve some sketches and he did some art and we mulled over a bunch of different ideas," Mason said in an interview with InGoal. "Then he came up with the Iron Maiden Eddie (the band's mascot) in the old fighter jet and I thought it was perfect. I loved the image and thought that was really appropriate for the Jets."

I had the greatest goalie mask ever. It was one of those ones when the cage part was the mouth of an animal, but what made mine so great was that the animal thingy was the cartoon tasmanian devil. I love that mask.

I always liked Eddie Cheevers old mask. The scars he drew across it in places where he got hit made it look pretty scary.

I guess 'Iron Man' would be asking too much.

Played in goal for seventeen seasons; still play pick-up in the grandpa leagues - Never much a fan of the "painted mask". Gets too fruity/vain sometimes. Plain black works just fine, for me - Let your play do the talking.
But, I guess when you're a pro with money to burn...meh.

They should use the Iron Maiden "Aces High" Eddie with the old leather skullcap and round flight goggles a la WWII

They are probably using a version of Iron Maiden's "Aces High" Eddie.

There is something strangely medieval about putting Mason's in an Iron Maiden mask.
