Weekes: Joseph, Belfour, Moog among best masks
Goalies have put their spins on different mask designs, whether it was a play on their nickname or had something to do with the team they were playing for, and there have been tons of great masks over the past 60-plus seasons.

NHL Network analyst Kevin Weekes, in conjunction with the new Canada Post goaltender stamp series, provides his insight into the position he played for 11 seasons in the League.

Plante was the first goalie to wear a mask, although it was quite plain. Each mask is a great canvas and an opportunity for a goalie to be able to show their artistic and creative sides in some ways that are personal to them.
