Frederik Andersen

After making an immediate impact on this Toronto team and their fanbase upon his acquisition in June 2016, Frederik Andersen has given the Maple Leafs the type of confidence in their own zone that they haven’t enjoyed in quite some time.

Goaltending has seemingly always been a hot topic in this market, but Andersen has managed to cool that conversation down substantially.

Along with the calmness he displays in the crease, is the particulars of his presence. His mask is a tribute to the things that matter most to him: The home country, his new town, and a nod to a legend.

A cartoon Batman using LEGO bricks to build a wall across the landscape of the mask, combined with the classic Toronto Maple Leafs logo and imagery to represent Bower’s helmet, brings the whole design together in a way that the individual elements alone wouldn’t have accomplished.
