The Marcel Dionne's Auction - October 2004
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/19/2004
Striking mask was produced for Montreal Canadiens star goaltender Jose Theodore. The combination fibreglass and cage creation is the work of reputed equipment maker Michel Lefevre, the same man who produced masks and pads for Patrick Roy. The lower part features the Canadiens logo and the facsimile skyline of Montreal while two pouncing dragon-like animals and a full moon are painted at the top where a CCM decal is applied. The back plate includes Jose's number "60", his "Theo" nickname, a small animal with a number "33" and a Koho decal. The mask does show light use with sweat-stained elastic straps but Jose only wore it in practices, discarding it because he didn't feel quite right with it – you've heard how goalies can be! There was apparently also a problem with the foam padding at the forehead becoming unstuck. Michel Lefevre has informed us that the mask is an early second generation Theodore mask, that is, the second style that Lefevre made for Jose in circa 2000. The stunning piece will come in its padded canvas protective pouch that has the CCM logo and "J. Theodore" embroidered on the front, and a Lefevre/Koho tag on the top. Marvellous opportunity for serious mask/Theodore collectors.
