A 9th round draft choice of the Montreal Canadiens in 1994, netminder Tomas Vokoun received a pair of NHL All-Star selections throughout his career, along with a pair of gold medals while representing the Czech Republic at the World Championships. A veteran of 700 National Hockey League games with the likes of Montreal, Nashville, Florida, Washington and Pittsburgh, with All-Star Game nominations coming in 2004 and 2008, offered here is this made for the Czech netminder that hails from the 2013-14 season. A Bauer model with intact strapping and a white cats eye cage over the front, the paint design was executed by famed mask artist DaveArt and is entitled “The Gr8 Sk8 Night in Pittsburgh” with a DaveArt signature appearing beside the left eye. A sort of "2 in 1" design that features modern Penguins logos over the top of the head on both sides with another small one in white over the forehead, retro Penguins logos appear over the ears on both sides while a Penguins wordmark extends from the chin up the jaw on both sides as well. Displaying "Pittsburgh" just above the eyebrows under the cage, the backplate shows another small Penguins logo as well as a Czech flag and meaningful initials. Showing the remains of a DaveArt sticker behind the left ear on the inside of the shell, all the padding is present and accounted for though some of it is torn/broken at the top of the head. Also including the original plush cloth sweatband, the mask remains in overall excellent condition with just light wear from age/display/handling, nothing that detracts from the beauty of the piece. Additionally, the mask comes housed in a Penguins mask bag that has had "92" and "Back Up" embroidered into it and remains fully functional.
