While being an NHL goalie is a little bit of a fucking nutso profession—where else would people openly be cool with large men hitting a hard rubber puck at them?—it does allow netminders the chance to show their creativity with different mask art.
One of the best right now is Chicago Blackhawks goalie Scott Darling’s, who’s showing off a design that features an awesome Michael Jordan tribute with the six-time NBA champ in some iconic poses.
Designed by David Gunnarsson of DaveArt—who seems to be the go-to artist for NHL masks—Darling’s hoping to channel some of his inner MJ as his Hawks look to defend their Stanley Cup title this season.
