Carey Price ~ Montreal Canadiens
Excitement has been at a fever pitch around these parts once Montreal Canadiens got a hint that a new Carey Price goalie mask was on the horizon.
The amount of emails, Tweets, Facebook Posts, phone calls, letters, candlelight vigils…etc I receive from Montreal Canadiens fans is astounding. When it comes to their team and in particular their goaltending, they are a persistent bunch and analyze every detail.
Without further ado here is the goalie mask that Carey Price will wear for the start of the 2011-12 campaign. With this helmet Carey Price decided to go back to his native roots, where he was raised in Anahim Lake, British Columbia.
Carey wanted to celebrate his ancestry which drove my design elements of Anahim Lake, a native elder, and a dream catcher.
The base colour of the helmet is pink to match the equipment that Carey will be wearing throughout the month of October in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.
Breast Cancer Awareness is a cause I thoroughly support. Last year I was able to take part by painting pink skates for Toronto Maple Leafs Mike Komisarek and Colton Orr.
The game worn mask will be auctioned off through www.legendsdepot.com. The bidding will commence on October 6th and continue until the end of the month with all proceeds going to cancer research.

very nice mask , good job
Just wanted to say that I love the work you do on Price’s helmets Mr Arrigo!
The Habs logo on the Chief’s head dress is a nice touch. Here’s to hoping that you will continue to combine with Carey for many more Habs themed helmets in the years to come.
I love the time, effort and artwork you do for Carey Price and his masks. You always do a FANTABULOUS job! It’s always a pleasure to check out his masks! I am a huge Habs fan and I have been a Price fan from the start! (Even when he got booed.) I look forward to seeing more of your artistry on more masks in the future! Great job! Your talent is amazing and unsurpassed!
Thank-you.
Have a great day!
GO HABS GO!!!
As a young cancer survivor and a Native American, I must say a big thank you! As well as showing my love and appreciation for the great work you’ve done. It’s Carey’s best mask yet!
Awesome stuff guys!
This hits home, because my Mother died of Breast Cancer last year and she was a huge hockey fan that got me into the game at the age of 6. Would love to shake his hand and tell him how awesome he is for doing this.
