New Helmet

I see McKee finally got his new helmet. Looks nice from what I can see.. anyone know what the design is?

I can only describe it as a red Sonic the Hedgehog on acid.

Hahahaha... I thought it was a red alligator lol

That's possible. I really couldn't tell what it was, only that it was red and mean-looking, and probably an animal of some sort.

Armadillo perhaps?

Age, how about a low quality photo for the crowd? (While waiting for the high quality photos, of course.)

i would guess a bear, at least that is what it looked like to me from 4 feet away when he skated over to A. big bear, with these big f'in claws...

If it's going to be any animal, it should be a bear, but the shape just didn't seem to look like a bear. Of course, I could be wrong--once we get a good picture, I'll let you decide. Until then, I'm going to stick with my "red Sonic the Hedgehog on acid" idea.

Yup. I've got a few pics. I'll put some up tomorrow. I think it's a bear, but I haven't looked closely yet.

Haha...from the first row view, we all think it's a bear. All 3 of our goalies have different helmets, didn't think they had that much choice in the matter.

I thought each individual goalie gets to design their own helmet (or, perhaps they give ideas to an artist who makes the design). A few years ago, one of our goalies (Ian Burt, I think?) had a cool-looking Spider-Man mask, which as a comic book fan, I really really liked.

That was Burt. Apparently he gave it to an uncle who really liked it after he graduated (remember that from some article about him I read from a UK paper, I think -- someone linked to it here).

What's up with Yale's goalies... no design at all? Just plan white. UGGG-LYYY

Nice picture, looks really cool!

^ See? Red Sonic the Hedgehog on acid!!!

One of, I was gonna say that I see what you meant ... it's clearly a bear, but it has a tripped-out hedgehog look too... not saying that's a bad thing.

Coolest goalie helmet in a while. Excellent use of the block "C" and touches of white.

FYI, the block "C" is on both sides of the helmet. I, too, thought it was a nice touch.

Hahaha yeah thats defenitly not an alligator

The ivy around the "C" is an even nicer touch.

Here's another vote for the quality of that helmet... Wow!

Yale's defense is so confused that the goalies decided that a design would incite the D to shoot at their own goal.

I love the ivy because it shows pride. And that is one bitchin' bear.
