The hockey mask was invented in 1959. It was designed by goaltender Jacques Plante of the Montreal Canadiens, who began wearing it to protect his face after suffering an injury. The mask gained popularity in the following decades, especially with the rise of the National Hockey League and iconic players like Jason Voorhees from the "Friday the 13th" films, further cementing its association with hockey.
