Goalie Monkey is in the sports equipment business. They sell Hockey goalie equipment such as face masks, padding and clothing. One can purchase online for home delivery.
There are many locations where wall masks can be purchased. They can be found online through Amazon and eBay. They can also be purchased at Target and Ikea.
Probably the actual inventor of the mask will remain unknown. Masks were worn by some goalies after injuries even way back in the early days of hockey. However, goalie Jacques Plante of the Montreal Canadiens is credited with making the mask a permanent part of the goalie's equipment back in the fifties. I would suggest you Google Plante or goalie masks to obtain more information.

There are many websites and companies that offer Halloween masks for sale. Some of these companies that offer masks are Party City, The Horror Dome and Halloween Express.
I would not touch Mission's goalie gear as it is for Roller Hockey only. The Mission/Itech company has been now purchased by Bauer Inc. So Mission and Itech Goalie gear is discontinued.
Masks are a necessity in a dangerous sport such as hockey, especially for children. Child's hockey masks can be purchased from online stores such as 'Amazon' or the website with the name 'Hockeyoffice'.
