Hockey Goalies: Is this mask safe enough for inline pucks?
It's one of those old throw back masks. I was wondering if anyone used similar masks for inline hockey. You know those Franklin street hockey caged masks they sell everywhere for like 50 bucks, they say "intended for street hockey balls, not inline pucks" But I have been using them all my life against inline pucks. no problem..what about this?

Will a fiberglass model of the same mask design be good for inline pucks??
I prefer to err on the side of caution. I recommend an approved mask. Back when I played, it was during an outdoor ice hockey game and the opposing goalie was wearing the same brand as (forgive the example) the crew in the opening robbery scene in "Heat" with DeNiro and Pacino. The example you provided looks just like it. He took a shot off the forehead and the mask cracked - almost shattered - from the force of the puck. He was a little woozy and would have been despite the mask being approved or not, but he could have been seriously injured.
I had been wearing a different type maybe made by Mylec (I believe) and retired it after that game and got me a fiberglas model through a friend.
ADD: I tried looking up a picture of the mask I wore but I can't locate it. I remember it was a facehugger from the late 70's, it's natural color was dark red, had a straight bridge covering the nose, snaps, backplate, etc.
Now I'm gonna go nuts trying to remember what kind it was.
