... great bunch of photos!.... got a kick out of Carey Prices comments in the article that accompanied those photos. Figured we older guys were absolutely nuts!.... And ya, that'd be Greg Harrison in his basement workshop in Toronto from which he began making custom masks, where you'd go to get fitted, mold made of your face.....
.... Kurt Andersson's clear one piece "visor" was a North American designed & mfgd item, famous picture around somewhere of Johnny Bower wearing one, available for a short time off the shelf at select sporting goods stores. No idea who the maker was, but remember seeing them around, fogging up something awful....
.... and speaking of Johnny Bower... cigarette in hand... as ya, Johnny was a smoker... in between periods, over a few drinks.... "calmed the nerves" somewhat however, not good for the reflexes, stamina amongst other ills. But then, guy was playing well into his 40's & when it came to smoking really wasnt all that uncommon right into the 90's.
