You don't see the NHL marketed on products as much as you would during the 1980s through the 90s. Walking through a Kraft aisle at a grocery store was like taking a stroll through the Hockey Hall Of Fame.
These are kind of off the path of the closeups of the mask cards that I showed a few days ago but I thought they were pretty cool and have a very nice closeup of the goaltenders choice of mask and their coice of lid design during the 90s.
I cut these out from packages of Jell-O almost 25 years ago, I can't believe I still have them. But I can see why.
Kirk McLean
Blaine Lacher
Trevor Kidd
Stephane Fiset
Soo what do you guys think? What's your favorite mask design from the above 1995-96 food issues?
Personally I'm going to have to pick McLean's mask as my favorite from the group. Flashiest would have to go to Lacher. And well, Fiset and Kidd - they're all memorable during their era.
I'm going to have to go with Trevor Kidd. That mask is just too awesome! I remember thinking he was going to be an elite goalie, but obviously, that didn't happen. I have a small collection of his cards from the 90's.
