Over their 50 years in the NHL, the Vancouver Canucks have had many goaltenders, and have seen many unique and interesting mask designs as a result. Here are my top five favourites.

Not many other NHL franchises can boast that they have had many jersey colours and designs, but the Vancouver Canucks sure can. In fact, they’re marketing their 50th anniversary season around fans “showing their colours” by wearing whichever jersey they please.

Whether your go-to jersey as a fan is the black and orange flying skate, or the new heritage jersey, the Canucks are really pushing fans to wear whatever jersey they please to games. The multitude of colours over the years have lead to a long list of uniquely designed goaltenders masks.

Whenever I played hockey, (don’t look up my statistics for my high school team) I always wanted to be in goal. It could just be the result of having an older brother who wanted to practice his shooting more, but one thing is for certain, I loved to play goalie.

What really intrigued me was the unique goalie pads and different mask designs. I would go to any garage sale I could in hunt of a new goalie mask. While this was likely extremely unsanitary, nothing could stop me from getting a goalie mask that I could add to my growing collection.

Here are just some of the goalie masks from Canucks’ goaltenders that I think are some of the nicest.
