Who invented the hockey goalie cage?
Jacques Plante was the first goaltender to create and use a practical mask in 1959.
Who wore the first hockey mask?
Jaques Plante was the first to wear a mask. Plante gets lots of credit for wearing the mask and is probably the main reason that goalies in hockey started using the facial protection on a regular basis. However, other goalies long before Plante wore masks for short periods of time due to facial injuries. For example, Clint Benedict wore a mask way back in 1930 after suffering facial cuts in a game.
When did goalies in hockey start to wear masks?
The first goalie mask worn full time was in 1959 by Jacque Plante in the NHL. It was a homemade fiberglass mask similar to the one worn by the character Jason Vorhees in the movie series Friday the 13th. Other masks had been used for a short time on and off before then but were usually masks from other sports, such as the fencing mask Elizabeth Graham used in 1927. In the 1970s the goalie mask changed into a cage/helmet combination which is still used by some lower level goalies (high school, college, recreational, etc) and has evolved into the fiberglass or Kevlar masks with a built in cage used by most goalies today in the NHL.
How long did it take to invent the goalie mask?
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.

Who designed the 2008 hockey goalie mask?
Technically every NHL goalie designs his own to best fit his need for comfort, visibility, and style. That's why you see some goalies like Dominik Hasek who have very unique goalie masks. The outside design of the goalie mask is purely aesthetic and is often times picked specifically depending upon the match being played. Important dates in team history may effect the outside design of the mask/helmet but some goalies just like their helmet to be flashy and have an artistic design on the outside.

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. It is now required in the NHL for a goalie to have a neck guard(Part that hangs over goalies mask. See the difference!(The 1st mask is a modern day goalie mask! By the way I am an Avalanche fan!
