The perfection of the goalie mask has been , and is, an ongoing process. In 1930, Ottawa goalie Clint Benedict wore a crude mask to protect a facial injury for five games. Other goalies wore masks for brief periods. However, on Nov.1, 1959, Jacques Plante of the Montreal Canadiens was injured and returned to the ice wearing a mask which he continued to wear in subsequent games. Over the years, all goalies at all levels started to wear facial protection and the masks evolved into the styles you see today and will no doubt continue to change and be improved.

Did a slap shot ever take off a goalies finger?
No it has never happened, but a goalie was once hit in the neck with a players skate cutting his artery and almost making him die. A fan from the stands rushed down to help and lost almost 1 qt. of blood. As this occured the blood pressure slowed down causing his heart to beat very fast in order to recover for the blood being lost.
