A True Mask Maker Legend

[DoubleG]

Hey guys, This happened a year ago but just wanted to share the pics and experience.

MY visit with Jerry Wright, awesome guy, awesome masks, unreal collection.


Cam Ward


Miikka Kiprusoff


Marc-Andre Fleury

]
Grant Fuhr



RAy Leblanc (team usa)


Just wanted to share, Jerry's not making masks anymore I just lucked out and got one of his last shells, WHat an experience!

Awesome experience I am sure.

Just something I noticed when looking at the photos, the padding looks almost brand new, no staining, no brown/yellowed chin cups. I know that most saw heavy multi-season use.

Did you get any insider info from Jerry about if they had been repadded before being sent back for display, or are they replicas made at the same time as the originals? Not trying to downplay the authenticity because it is obvious that you are standing in this legends living room, but just a detail that crossed my mind.

The Leblanc one is really cool. Lots of good memories of that Olympics.

as I recall from an old post or PM I had a couple years ago, Jerry was making 2 of each mask, paintjob and all if i recall correctly, i am guessing it was incase the pro broke or needed the second mask, i would also guess that pros end up with different paint schemes and the 2nd mask end up in jerrys collection!

I actually believe I have the last mask Jerry has ever sold. I could be wrong, but I had inquired a while ago and he only had this one left that he was willing to sell. It was made for Beezer with a paint job. Probably one of my most prized possessions - I haven't even had the heart to wear it!

Post pictures!

I too have one of Jerry's masks, aquired in the summer of 2004. This mask is my baby, and I'm dying to put a killer paint job on it. It's the Ferrari of goalie masks!

Anybody knows what the "M" on Kiprusoff's mask stand for ?

These are actually Jerry's pictures when he tried to sell the mask in 07. I didn't jump on it then and thank God no one else did. Suckers.

I was going to get it re-padded with Doug at Weaselhead next time I visit my parents but like I said, I really haven't had the heart to wear it on the ice. I remember the day I got it, I also had a T3 come in. Didn't know which box to open first. I put it on and thought of all the pros I've seen wear Itechs growing up - such a great shell shape. Amazing how solid it feels. Thanks again, Mr. Wright.

[vanniek]

you were actually able to walk in to that room without losing control?

I would have had to wrap a garbage bag around myself to save his carpet lol


That is truly awesome, you are a lucky dude!

It was an unreal experience guys, Frank Cipra helped me out and was able to get me in contact with Jerry. Jerry told me that the timing was just right and he probably wouldnt have sold me a mask at any other time. Still.... got a mask and the experince meeting Jerry and storys behind the mask was well worth it. He stated that the one I got probably would have gone to a pro if I hadnt have got it.

[vanniek]

wonder why he has stopped making masks, he obviously has a superior product
