A good mask is a staple for an NHL goalie, and Keith Kinkaid knocked it out of the park with his.
The Bruins goalie, who signed a one-year, two-way contract with Boston in July, unveiled his new mask this week on his social media accounts, and Bruins fans should get a kick out of it.
Kinkaid paid homage to “Happy Gilmore” on one side of his helmet with a prominent Bruins logo on the other. The popular Adam Sandler movie revolves around the Gilmore character who’s a failed hockey player-turned-golfer and wears a Bruins jersey while on the golf course.
“Easily my favorite mask made and I can’t wait to rock it !,” Kinkaid tweeted last week.
The 33-year-old goalie likely will see plenty of time in Providence with Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark manning the net in Boston for the upcoming NHL season, but Kinkaid won’t be hard to miss with that mask.
