Or your team if you plan on playing with them for a while.

You should put something else on the backplate, like a nickname if they give you one.

One of my friends did something like that, except he had the logo on the sides of the mask.

I wish I could wear one of these. The mask is too tight on the sides and crushes my head.

I dont think your whole question was ever answered. Thomas does where the Mage as said before. Osgood actually does where a player helmet and cage (like I wear when I play goal) and Hasek wears (or wore) a helmet designed to look and feel like a player helmet/cage.
The helmet/cages warrent better vision and they do not feel as stuffy after playing for a while, plus they are much lighter.

| The downside is, they can hurt like heck when you take a puck to the head/face. Make sure the design of the helmet and cage will deflect impacts off to the sides. There should be no flat spots facing the shooter. Remember the Hasek Mastercard commercial, when it says "Mask for Face: $150" it shows a clip of hasek bein hit in the face and being knocked backward onto his butt. With traditional goalie helmets, you don't get that. |

sometime after the commercial was made though, Hasek switched to a fiberglass helmet that only looks like a player helmet so it is just as safe as any other goalie mask.
I know very well that the helmet needs to have no flat spots. I have taken it pucks to the head with my plastic helmet before and never got knocked over and with no long term after effects (5 min). Taking one off the cage is the problem though. I am going to either buy a mask or upgrade my combo soon.
