When Peter Budaj was diagnosed with the H1N1 virus last week, the Colorado Avalanche called up their prized prospect Tyler Weiman to fill in behind the NHL’s #1 Star of the Month, Craig Anderson.
Although Weiman did not get to see any live game action during the Avalanche’s four-game road trip, he did get to show off his new Pro’s Choice mask, complete with the Tri-Cat cage. A special thanks to Paul from Pro’s Choice for sending over these exclusive photos of Weiman’s new mask, which was painted by Dave Gunnarsson from Sweden.
Although we can’t say for sure exactly what that creature is, he’s unique for sure. He has crazy blood-shot eyes, devastating white horns and is the cause of an avalanche, thanks to the bellowing of a mighty roar across the mountainside. We also love the Avalanche’s yeti footprint on the chin-drop, as this is a classy touch that pays homage to one of the more unique secondary logos in the NHL.
