Cheevers was the goalie for the great Orr-Esposito Cup winning teams in the 1970s, his mask was famous for showing where he would have had stitches if he didn't wear a mask (like the goalies did until just a little before his time). One of the early masks that had an image on it rather than just white with cutouts for eyes and mouth.
