It is no surprise that the Goalie mask is a Canadian creation ([Jacques Plante in 1959](https://www.historica-dominion.ca/content/heritage-minutes/jacques-plante)), but of all the variations Lynn’s was the first mass produced version and one of the most iconic (think Halloween). Tough looking and a little intimidating, the form was easy to manufacture and popular, helping Cooper Canada take a leading role in hockey equipment design.
