(pro Cap art) A hockey goalie sports a *wonderful* Captain America-based mask.

Hi! I'm a regular lurker, but ran across something this afternoon I thought everyone would enjoy seeing.

I was watching the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships over the weekend, and couldn't stop thinking that the USA goalie had Cap's A on the front of his mask! So, I went looking for pictures, and lo and behold - I was right!

The link below is to a press release about it, and it has some really nice pictures.  I just thought somebody else would enjoy squeeing over it with me... ;)

Really nice! Thanks for sharing.

That is badass.
I really wish we could have made it into the quarterfinals and possibly into the semi's but alas, we have next year.

I was impressed overall, and hopefully we see some of these players in the NHL soon, and stuff.

I have to say I'm pretty happy with how the series has gone so far :D

Me too, the Czech vs Russia game had me on the edge of my seat actually (it helped that I was hyped up on emotions from the Rangers vs Flyers game, and my Rangers won!)

As for the rest of the tournament, it has been amazing.

I have a Captain America shield on my hockey helmet, but I am not a goalie XD Just a sticker I have on my helmet.

I wonder if any goalies have done an Iron Man mask?

I can't find anything online about a custom Iron Man mask, but did find something else interesting.

Marvel has actually licensed a collection of pre-painted goalie masks for various characters.

Their take on Cap isn't nearly as good:

but I rather like the Iron Man one:

For those interested, there are links at the bottom of either page to their take on Wolverine, Spider Man, The Hulk and (of all people) the Silver Surfer.

That's a great helmet. It's very Cap without being too much.
