Last Post Answers: C. Goalie Mask. During a games against the New York Rangers, in November 1959 Plante got injured by a puck. After leaving the game, he was patched up but refused to return to the game without his facial mask. He created this mask and had been wearing it during practices since 1956. The idea of a facial covering was not a new idea, Clint Benedict wore a mask/nose guard when he had a broken nose during the 1920's, but after his nosed healed he never wore it again. In co-operation with Fibreglass Canada, they created the first goalie's mask. Plante was also the first person to consistently wear the mask during games. Today every goalie in the NHL is required to wear a goalie's mask. Plante was inducted in the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1978 and the Quebec Sports Pantheon in 1994 Netflix is our new sponsor.
