Best Answer

Jacques Plante made the first hockey mask because during one game he was injured so badly by a hockey puck to the face that he required several stitches. Following his injury he felt it appropriate to wear face protection (as he was a goalie and the odds of the injury re-occuring were fairly good).

Who is the best modern hockey goaltender?

There is quite intense competition between Brodeur and Luongo. My friend sitting next to me says to put Luongo because we're in Vancouver and so is Luongo. That, and he has a long streak of 2 to none goals per game. I think Brodeur is better because he has 100 career shutouts. But he's been in the league much longer. Make your choice.
