Terry Sawchuk - The face of a hockey goalie before masks became standard game equipment, 1966. Terry Sawchuk, a face only a hockey puck could love This face belongs to Terry Sawchuk, a 36-year-old goalie for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Re-created here, by a professional make-up artist and a doctor, are some of the more than 400 stitches he has earned during 16 years in the National Hockey League. Terry Sawchuck’s face was bashed over and over, but not all at one time.
His wounds healed. The scars weren’t easily seen – except for a few of them. The re-creation of his injuries was done to help show the extent of his injuries over a span of years. This famous photo from Life magazine, it’s a great photo, but ironically, it didn’t tell half the story of Sawchuk, who was a very troubled man off the ice.
This was all a bit much for Sawchuk to take, and he began to drink heavily. And now let’s write something about the masks. The photo is Life Magazine property.

Mario Lemieux's Comeback: A Retrospective. On December 27, 2000, 10 years ago today, Mario Lemieux returned to the NHL as a player after three-and-a-half seasons in retirement. The press conference, held Dec. 11, at the Marriott City Center was televised live by eight media outlets, and the news sent shock waves through the hockey world. It was only a few weeks earlier that Lemieux had revealed his plans to a small group of Penguins executives. Penguins VP of Communications Tom McMillan recalls those amazing times. “I need to see you guys,” Mario Lemieux said in that understated manner of his, wagging his finger and flashing a wry grin. This was late November, 2000, barely a year into Lemieux’s unprecedented tenure as owner of the Pittsburgh Penguins, and, curious as he was about some of the inner workings of his new business, it wasn’t unusual for him to call a few of his employees - in this case, me and then-COO Tom Rooney - into his office for a chat.
Only this time he closed the door. Gulp. “I’m moving in a different direction.” Hockey (RDS.ca) NHL on Yahoo! Sports - News, Scores, Standings, Rumors, Fantasy.
