Ed Belfour
Staying true to his alter ego in net, Ed Belfour (aka Eddie the Eagle) brought his signature style along with him and into Toronto after the Leafs signed him in the summer of 2002.
His already iconic eagle themed mask, already having been represented on three other teams in his 13 seasons prior, flew alongside and followed him.
Belfour updated the look, to better represent the blue and white.
It was the same classic bird-focused design, with a side profile view of the eagle on the right and left of the helmet.
This created a mirror image type effect, with both sides meeting in the middle.
The gaps were filled in with a Toronto centric type of blue, creating a cohesion to the look.
Belfour saw some success in his short stint with the team and even made two All-Star appearances in the three years he suited up for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Even if his time playing here has since been forgotten, his mythical mask design won’t soon be.
