Mike Smith has a new mask for the 2020-21 season that features tributes to Grant Fuhr and Joey Moss.
The front of the mask inspired by the same mask work by Fuhr in the ’80’s, while the back features a logo honouring Moss. The mask was designed and painted by artist David Arrigo.

Moss, who has been a massive off-ice figure in the Edmonton sports scene since the 1980’s, died at 57 years old last fall.
