In images: Jacob Fowler’s new mask is absolutely beautiful

Yesterday, Jacob Fowler officially made the jump to the professionals. The Habs prospect, with two strong seasons in the NCAA, will see his entry-level contract start in 2025-26 … but he will finish the current season in the AHL.

We should therefore see him with the Rocket this year.

And necessarily, since he is leaving Boston College, we suspected that he would have to get a new mask … and that’s exactly what he did. In the end, the result is really, really beautiful.

Once again, it was the artists Sylvie Marsolais (Sylabrush) and Alexandre Mathys who did the design. And what we notice is that the goalkeeper’s mask has a lot of references.

His native Florida, the song Fix You by Coldplay (which we hear during the players’ entrance at the Bell Centre), Iron Man, the logos of the Habs and the Rocket and even the #9 of Maurice Richard (in the style of the Rocket de Laval): it gives a magnificent result.

I particularly like the #9 which is placed on the back of the mask. It’s a nice tribute and a beautiful nod to a legend of the organization, that.

And it’s a nice way to honor the memory of those who wore these colors before.

Note that yesterday, when Fowler practiced with the Habs players, he didn’t wear his new mask, but rather a completely white one. His new mask may not have been ready yet (everything happened very quickly, after all), but I imagine we’ll see Fowler wear it when he’s in front of the Rocket’s net by the end of the season.

We must once again highlight the work of Sylvie Marsolais and Alexandre Mathys, who are very often involved in the design of the Habs goalies’ masks. They are always very beautiful, and Fowler’s is no exception.

Let’s hope we’ll see the young goalkeeper have a lot of success with this one.

Overtime

– A win tonight would not guarantee a playoff spot for the Habs, but …

With a win tonight, the Habs can take a four-point lead over the Rangers in the standings.

A four-point lead with more than six games left to play, including some against beatable opponents (NSH, DET, CHI), would be … considerable.

– What do you think?

Maybe we should ask ourselves if Judge is not the best right-handed hitter in MLB history. https://t.co/JsfibZbmYe
