Star Wars Themed Goal Masks Released By Bauer Hockey

Bauer Hockey has announced a line of five Star Wars themed goal masks that are now available at retail outlets. "For as long as goal masks have been worn in hockey, there has been an evolution of incredible artwork that showcases the goalie and the team's heritage and provides inspiration in preparation for battle on the ice," said Greg Goyer, Category General Manager for Goalie Product at Bauer Hockey.  "Given the film's unique and global following, we're excited to offer the series of Star Wars themed goal masks as the next chapter in the history of goal mask battle paint."
