Did you know the first recorded goaltender to wear a mask was Elizabeth Graham? Before Benedict and Plante!
February 7th, 1927. The Queen's U goaltender wore a wire mask - possibly to protect a chipped tooth.
Whatever the reason, it just "made practical sense", according to her son Stewart.
The mask has since disappeared so details of its origin and construction are still a mystery.
