This is the reason why the NHL requires Hockey masks
 

Believe it or not, they were not always required

huh :) .....

Oh God... :(

My granfather was a goalie and had a similar face

a lot of damage

That has to be the worst goalie ever if he gets hit in the face that much.. :1orglaugh

I was thinking the same! A face that stopped a thousand pucks :helpme

I have read that this photo is a recreation of all the damage he suffered to his face during his NHL career. It's not what he looked like at one time..

However I can't believe the gear hockey players used to have back in the day, especially the goalies. I wear a full cage playing defense. I like my face too much.

he looks like Frankenstein :(

If that happened today, you can BET the dude below will be on the case

that's Terry Sawchuk... one of the best ever...

Goalies in those eras were men of men. Just incredible that they would sacrifice that much for a game.

should be in war veteran porn :D

Another good Canadian kid

this is crazy info

He looks like someone here....
