@@HelllNawh His point was that back then you could not shoot a puck even close to fast as they do now with modern composite hockey sticks. Also the whole game was played at a lot slower speed when compared to modern hockey.
Still sometimes happens to players these days. Just the other day watched the world cup as one slovakian took a shot to the face. Dude bled quite alot.
I can't believe the badasses who went on the ice wearing no mask. Today, I have a full carbon fibre mask with a titanium cage. I could probably run over it with my car without destroying it. We've come a long way in 50 years
I used to watch hockey NHL hockey on TV when they had no masks on the goalies and it didn’t look strange then. I mean when you think about it they don’t wear masks today when they going to a boxing ring or when they do cage fighting
In high school (1976) I made a 7 layer molded fiberglass mask that covered my head and ears. I put an eighth inch layer of wax on the plaster mold of my head to make the mask a little bigger to accomodate foam strips above my eyebrows , my cheek bones and jaw line. I got beaned a couple of times. 1 concussion but no cuts. The mask never cracked.
the first one they showed the clear riot shield mask was actually a pretty good idea and I never knew about it. some of these mask look like they should come with a straight jacket lol
True, the first time an NHL goalie refused to take his mask off. For the first to wear a mask period, check out Clint Benedict of the Montreal Maroons.
That was Cool !! I'm also a Goalie and still play today, there is no way I'd go back to my mask, I've had several helmets crushed to where the steel mesh was touching my face !! Those older Goalies had nerves of steel when it came to game time !!
Arthur ok I have a hard time believing that it happened multiple times to you, having the steel crushed so much to where it is touching your face is extremely hard and unluckily, and hardly even happens to a goalie, let alone multiple times
if you check hockey stick that time there was no limits for radius of blade ... especialy Hull sen. played with high radius so it was much easier for hard shots
Reina Arana well to make a long answer short when the brain sees something that mimics a human face it gets confused and tells you that you can’t trust that thing. That’s the leading theory anyway
Isaiah Kaulaity Yeah... I’m a big big fan of Formula 1 and in the 50’s (and prior) anything with the smallest of forces hitting engine/fuel tank almost with 100% certainty caused an immediate burst of flames which often times didn’t even call to stop the race- the race went on as paramedics and firefighters then risked their lives going on a live track... I have 50+ examples of the lack of safety in just the 50-60’s era.. 4.5 drivers died per year (and many more left crippled) during this era... that would NOT fly today lol
Isaiah Kaulaity Back then guys didn’t really try to shoot high. They were trying to score, and without much in the way of curved blades the puck wasn’t as easy to lift into a corner of the net.
@@ballaking1000 The thing is-the problem with fires didn't really get solved until the military developed rubber bladders and dry-break fuel line connectors for things like helicopters. Part of it was not making safety a priority, but it was also partly because the technology just wasn't there.
@@almostfm For sure the technology wasn't there. It's still mind boggling though- I wouldn't even bring my kids to the racetrack if I was a father then.
It feels insane that it took years and more than hundred skyjackings for safety checks at airports to become a thing because the airlines were worried of people having to wait in a line.
I remember in the 80s Grant Fuhr talking about the extra bits of rubber and foam he put inside his mask to make it more comfortable when a pick hit it, but even then it was still harsh. And that's to say nothing about skates and the damage they can cause when a goalie is sprawled out in the crease. Just ask Clint Malarchuk...
My grandfather was a goalie for the Canadians farm team for 8 years in the the era with no mask and the goals were frozen into the ice he told me some crazy stories
I remember a game at State Fair Arena in OKC in the late 60s in the old Central Hockey League. Al “Boom Boom” Caron of the Omaha Knights skated over the blue line and unleashed his ungodly slapper, reputed to travel well over 100 mph. The goalie for the OKC Blazers, “Jumpin’ Joe Junkin wasn’t wearing a mask. He came out of the crease to cut down the angle and never had a chance as the puck caught him flush on the forehead. At the time it reminded me of the Zapruder film showing JFK getting shot. How the Jumper survived I’ll never know .
I started watching in about 1968, when the masks were tiny and neither wrapped around nor covered all of the forehead from the front. There were still a lot of barefaced holdouts like Vachon, Binkley, Worsley, Giacomin, Bower and Gamble, etc., although by about 1970 most of them would see the light and cover up. The first year ('72-'73) of the World Hockey Association, which challenged the NHL for players, I saw a game in the finals between the Winnipeg Jets and New England Whalers at Boston Garden. Our seats were maybe 15 rows behind the net. Joe Daley of the Jets went down on his side in a scramble after his initial save. The rebound shot hit him squarely on the bare forehead. He was carried off, and Ernie Wakely finished up. I was a goalie in the '70s and '80s, and always wore a cage. I always wondered after catching a shot in the face area how anybody had continued to play barefaced once the sticks were made of laminated wood, and once the shooters had discovered both the slap shot and the curved stick blade. Even in the primitive days, a slap shot taken with a curved stick would dip and sail in ways that made a broken nose, lost teeth, or a blinded eye a sure thing if the shot was high. Bareface was ultimately an anachronism left over from the earliest days, when the goalies were not allowed to go down to make a save, and the un-laminated straight sticks couldn't often lift a puck more that 18 inches off the ice.
I knew they used to play without helmets. I never knew goalies didn't wear a mask back then! Bravo to those crazy bastards! There is no way in hell I would play goal without a mask!
Those were Plantes first words in recovery “ the mask saved my life”. It was from a booming slap shot from Freddie Stanfield in 1970 Stanley cup finals blues (who plante played for at the time) vs bruins rendering plante unconscious.
Our goalie got that throat guard that hung down off the mask. In that first practice we all put in $5 to go to the first player to hit his throat guard with a shot. He never knew and boy did we celebrate the winning shot.
When I was a kid, I used to wear the old style goalie mask, but only playing street hockey. They were so bad I would have preferred nothing at all. When you got hit with the cold street hockey puck or ball, damn that hurt so bad it felt like I had a concussion.
Growing up here in Los Angeles, hockey isn't exactly on the top of the list as far as youth sports and professional sports are concerned. But, I do love professional sports, and I can appreciate all the great athletes efforts, pains and struggles from yester year... I always wondered if anyone might have thought of, or used an old style baseball's catchers mask, while playing goalie? I'm sure it could have added some needed protection, while being able to see across the ice? Just a thought...
The mask actually came from the actor, it was supposed to be a burlap sack with eye holes, but he put his hockey mask on for a lighting test he was a hockey guy, the director loved it and kept it.
I think goaltenders who went out on a ice rink professionally without a mask were the most insane/toughest ppl in sports. I always thought contact sports were dangerous and it was the price you paid for possible fame forever and good money. To not wear a mask, back then, is just wow! I love hockey and would throw myself down on the street or field to block balls or softer pucks and play goalie (with a mask usually) in the early 90s, and on but pucks are no joke. Those can cause real injuries.
It’s still kinda scary today to get hit in the face with with a mask that we have these days but I wonder what those heroes faced on the ice without a mask
I hate to be the one to bring this up, but has a hockey mask ever looked exactly like Jason voorhees's hockey mask? I've research this a bit and haven't found his mask on someone else in real life yet.
Yes there is. It is the Fibrosport JP series mask that debuted in 1971. They had the JPS(small) JPM(medium) JPL(large). Fibrosport was a company started by Jacques Plante.
Bruh the guys who got hit in the face without masks/helmets are god damned legends. They command respect
I don't see how that makes you a legend.

I can’t believe they played without helmets/masks that’s so crazy
Back in the days, we had wooden stick that wouldn't bend like crazy and wouldn't increase the pucky velocity by a crazy percentage.
@Jace A.W. because that was pure competition not career-saving strategies getit thru ur young head

Someone would literally die if not wearing a mask these days
yup
Especially I it was Zendeo Chara
Yea I’m a goalie and I get a slap shot every game

Alex Hutcheson my grandpa was a goalie and wore no mask and broke his nose like six times
I played a little hockey before I was diagnosed with Marfans....I gotta say to be a goalie you gotta be a different breed of human being....#respect
Back in the days, we had wooden stick that wouldn't bend like crazy and wouldn't increase the pucky velocity by a crazy percentage.
Those hits to the face though... Wtf were they thinking lol
It's true what they say, you have to be absolutely crazy to be a goalie.
John Dombroski and have a lot of patience and stamina
not to mention there was no glass around the rink! Fans would get struck by pucks all the time!
Im a field hockey goalie and my team thinks im mental 😂
I’m a lacrosse goalie
I’m a goalie
It's shocking to see people tending goal with no mask or helmet at all playing ice hockey. That is INSANE! That puck is moving fast.
and frozen

Omg i remember that episode
That's so Canadian! 🇨🇦

As an artist and hockey fan, when I was a kid, I wanted to be a goalie just so I could paint my mask. :)
I was scared of those old school 1950-1970 hockey masks as a kid, even before Halloween / Jason movies
this is not the evolution of masks, it's 3 minutes video on the first time a goalie decided to wear a mask
True, the first time an NHL goalie refused to take his mask off. For the first to wear a mask period, check out Clint Benedict of the Montreal Maroons.
Right? I'm thinking the full video is the actual evolution. This has to be a clip from the evolution of the hockey mask
0:35 Dude he looks like “Gordon Ramsay!”
Its Johnny Bower
@@letsgooilers yeah they said he "looks" like Gordon Ramsay
Ik
He kinda does.
THE ICE IS COLD AND RAW

I am also a goalie and I know the felling of getting a shot to the face
I am not a goalie so I have no say in this
SPORTSNET
I gotta tell ya... you guys really came through with this most noteworthy information... thanks for posting!!!
0:35 Gordon Ramsay in a mask from the 50´s
Bobby Hall was clocked at 118.......? Sorry Shea Weber...I guess.
Well Weber once scored a goal with the puck literally going trough the net, unfortunate enough we don't know how fast it was.
Justin Dubois there were players in Saskatchewan who used to break pucks in practice, you don’t hear of those types anymore
Joe Cool Buddy, I've broke pucks in practice. Granted, we practice outdoors, but It just has to be cold enough to where the rubber gets brittle
Its Hull not Hall
if you check hockey stick that time there was no limits for radius of blade ... especialy Hull sen. played with high radius so it was much easier for hard shots
You could do a 10 part series in this topic. So many stories. Each mask is a story.
Why does older stuff looks so damned scary
Like wtf

right there.👍
I remember playing high school hockey with a home made mask in 73-74
Those old goalies had balls of steel!!!
No way I’d do it sober.
Wow the mask sure has come along way!!!
these guys were ral men..crazy but tough...and for such little money and hopefully the Game does not ever forget these guys..
Not sure how much the puck has changed it terms of firmness but even then I bet it was hard as a rock. Those guys were brave
It's crazy how safety was a back burner thought back in the early days. Not just with hockey, but about anything.

The sound when the new masks get hit goes "Thud!"
The sound when the old masks get hit goes " CH CH CH...HAH HAH HAH"!!!

In the fiberglass model masks. The eye holes look big enough for the puck to go through an hit your eye.
I'm a goalie in box lacrosse and the masks we use these days they hurt so I use a field helmet because it's more stronger and has more pertection.
Plus the masks buy the Haudenashone used turtle shells
Then, a slasher is born...
like you're going to leave out that the first goalie mask was invented and worn at Camp Crystal Lake in 1980.....
