The Itech helmets are very popular.

Ditto, Itech is vey popular and they have very good helmets

Most pro-level goalie masks are hand-crafted to fit the goalie. Many use Warwicks. Some use itechs, though most are different from the Itech masks off the shelf. There are a few other miscellaneous mask makers out there that have had some NHL representation like Tony Priolo, Dominick Malarba, etc. The new Staytrix is getting a quick following in Europe, so I won't be surprised if it shows up in the NHL soon.

most are either itechs or made to look like the itech 960

staytrix meaning the one by stacey composites and mont? i didnt know they had finished that project haha

itech masks are so ugly and their lower end models are better suited to ball hockey

CHL (WHL, OHL, QMJHL) Goalies use Itech 4600s

I don't know about the rest of Europe but in Sweden, at all levels of play, the most popular brands are Reidic and Promask.

The Itech masks are great. Awesome quality for a great price. I do see them alot around the league too.

Yep, Mont and Stacey have the Staytrix out now. It's gorgeous! The reviews about it are good too. I'm drooling over them.

imo one of the best masks that I'm sure we might end up seeing a lot of in the NHL is NXI. Very light and very strong, I was wearing one and got a shot with a stick to the head and hardly felt it, although it rang pretty good.

Giguere, Luongo, Denis, and Garon are all using ProtechSport (formerly Lefevre) masks. I've got one myself, a full-kevlar affair. Fantastic piece of craftsmanship, and Michel Doganieri is a great guy to deal with.
