No. 2 – Felix Potvin
Potvin has sported this classic design for the entirety of his NHL career.
Is it some kind of Leafs and Cat hybrid? Hard to say, but it looks cool.
The most memorable look coming from his days as a Leaf. During his eight year tenure in Toronto, Potvin strutted out this mask 369 times, posting a combined .908 save percentage in the process. (Hockey Reference).
Potvin finished his Leafs career third in both wins and games played, while his 12 shut-outs are good for 11th all-time.
Free-flowing, pointed lines complete an animalistic white & black two-tone design that dominates a flat blue mask.
The mask itself is supposed to be a cat which is in reference to his nickname “Felix the Cat”. At least we assume, as it’s somewhat impressionistic!
Regardless of creature or entity, Potvin’s mask is a fantastically vintage throwback to the very gothic 1990’s.
