As a young boy watching Saturday Night Hockey, I was mesmerized by the goalie. There he stood, alone in the crease, like a masked warrior fearlessly inviting all the adversity that hockey brings.

I was sold. I knew early on that goaltending had to be the best position in sports.

That love for goaltending followed me on and off the ice, spilling over into the realm of collecting—anything and everything that was unique and told a story, I had to have it. 

Fast-forward to one evening in December 2014: I was sketching some ideas in the hope of creating a design that spoke to all goalies. I wanted to create a tribute of some kind… and that’s when it happened: the ‘winged mask’ was born. The next step? To print T-shirts for my goalie buddies to show our shared passion for the game. 

VINTAGE GOALIE offers something unique to goalies, both young and seasoned. 

We ‘pay tribute to the net minders of yesterday and we celebrate those who follow them.’

We strive to capture the passion that runs deep within the brotherhood and sisterhood of net minders.
