Dion Griarte's Steam Whistle Mask

Dion Griarte's Steam Whistle-themed mask painted by Rob Taylor.
Hi guys,

  My name is Dion Griarte from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. 
  Playing with a white mask was supper boring and lame! I found it way too difficult to decide what I want painted on my mask. After sipping on a few of my favourite Canadian beer, I quickly decided to paint my mask in tribute to my favourite beer Steam whistle! Why!? Because I play beer league hockey. Beer league hockey + beer mask = unbeerlievable! 
I quicky called my friends down at steam whistle and they hooked me up with Rob Taylor who paints their retro vehicles. He painted it by hand. He is a very talented guy from Niagara falls, ON and is also diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Which makes this piece of art so much more meaningful with an outcome like this.

Thanks for taking interest!

Best mask in Beer league history? We think so.
Tendysetups.com would like to thank Dion Griarte (@zeropucksgiven on Instagram) for sharing his story and sending in some great shots of his mask. This mask has taken the term 'beer league' to the next level.

Dave Murray's Refurbished Itech 960

Here's a look at Dave's 20-year-old Itech 960. Incredible.
This is my 20 year old Itech 960, which I used as my sole goalie mask until last year. After having it sit on the shelf for a while, I decided to look into having it refurbished and repainted. The folks at OTNY Mask were more than happy to help out - they painted my Shark 933 (and also gave it an amazing 24k gold-plated cage), so I knew they would do a good job - but this exceeded my expectations in every way.

I designed the paint scheme myself, to match my team's new jerseys (which, hilariously enough, I also designed). The angle along the jawline also matches the design on my new Brian's Gnetik Pro 2 setup.

Most importantly, though, is the orange ribbon on the back. My mom (as well as my aunt, and my late grandmother) has Multiple Sclerosis. She has to try extra hard every single day to accomplish even the simplest tasks and movement, so the ribbon is a tribute to her, but also a reminder to me to never give up hope.
