Matt,

Sorry I haven't sent this email. I received the helmet two weeks ago and just love it. You guys have a great product and a great painter. I appreciate it and thanks again.

Matt!

I can't thank you enough for my helmet! I absolutely love it. My family loves it, my team loves it! Its a HUGE hit! Thank you so much for all your recommendations, advice, and patience with me through this process. I will forever recommend you and your business! It couldn't be more perfect.

Matt,

Received my mask today, and just needed to let you know it looks perfect. Thanks to you and your technicians for bringing an old mask back to life. I am sure it will serve me well another 10 years, if I last that long.

You guys did a fantastic job!

Thanks again,

Steve McGreevy

Matt,

We just received Chris' mask and are in total shock. The detail is incredible and looks better than I imagined.

The guys at the firehouse want me to display it on the shelf!! It fits great on Chris, looks great and I know he'll be fully protected. Once again I'd like to thank you and your crew for a fantastic product.

“This is the best investment I ever made. I haven’t gotten knocked out cold from a shot to the head since I started wearing it. Unfortunately, the hits to the head prior to the Promasque have taken their toll. My team often finds me wandering around the crease mumbling to myself and drooling….

Matt,

Sorry this has taken so long. My son Jacob and I wanted to thank your
for the awesome job you and your paint team did on his helmet. If you recall he had the half robotic RED ROBIN with the puck in its beak. When we
received it, it was even more awesome than I could've imagined. I can say,
without a doubt, that I feel he has the coolest helmet in the state of
Wisconsin. The detail on the pain job is insane, and the glitter in the
fiery red eyeballs was a very nice touch. Also, it is without a doubt, the
most comfortable helmet he has ever had. Feel free to use any of these
comments to promote your great masks. Thanks again.

Hey there Matt I just wanted to thank you for the extra work you did on my helmet stitching the straps on the back plate was a great ideal. I never had an airbag in it before I love it. Again thank you and keep up the good work GOD bless you and yours.

Captain Morgan

Hi Matt,

I got the mask last week and it's perfect. It's exactly what I had pictured. I had it on today in practice and it felt really comfortable on my head. Thank you so much for making the mask for me and for designing the mask.

Thanks again,

CJ Isgur

Hi Matt,

Just wanted to drop you a quick line.........Jake had only one practice following a month of recovery from a concussion, but his very first game back was a shutout against a junior team from the Empire league in the Northwood School Invitational Tournament!! The next game was a tie (2-2) with another Junior team. He loves the mask!! He said it was SICCCKKK following his shutout win! He has taken some significant shots to the head, but no headaches! I think we have a winner here!

Thanks again for getting this to him so quickly. I know it has made a difference in his confidence in this tournament, especially after being off the ice completely for a month.

We'll be in contact soon about having the mask painted, as soon as he settles on a design.

Warm Regards,

Michele

Matt,

I thought of you again Friday night at Paul's game. There were a couple of players from Portsmouth Abbey scouting the game and, in chatting with them, I mentioned that my son was the goalie for St George's. They lit up and said, "That mask is INSANE!!!" Yet another adjective to add to the list people use when they see the incredible work of art you guys produced. The only problem with it is that I wince every time he takes a shot off of it :)

Matt, got the mask today and it looks AWESOME!!! Thank you so much for
making those changes. I love it. You guys do great
work.

Thanks again!

Steve

Matt......great job, most appreciative in the way
you handled everything...Merry Christmas!

Matt...received the masks and both have worked out perfectly...big thanks!

Hey Matty:

Just a note to say thanks for taking such good care of Peter and getting him all set with the new mask. He absolutely loves it and says he sees much better than with the old one. Last night was the first time he wore it in a bantam game. I'm not making this up--a few minutes into the game, the FIRST shot on him from just inside the top of the right circle was a hard wrist shot which caught him right in the cage (right between the eyes, he said). I was cracking up at the irony of the situation so the other parents probably think I'm some kind of sicko. Anytime he got hit wearing the old mask, there was always some mention of where his head hurt. Not this time. He told me heard a little "ping" but felt nothing else. He's very excited about having it and looking forward to the upcoming paint job.

Thanks again for the peace of mind, especially now that the Con Val winter midget season is underway. Have a nice holiday.

Anthony Dangelantonio

Hey Matty,

I've been meaning to get back to you and let you know much I love the mask. The colors work perfectly together and I cant say enough about the gold plating on the state house. Thank you so much for helping me bring my idea to life.

Sincerely,

Ryan Mula

Matt,
I just received the medium size back plate I
ordered from you to complete the Promasque helmet I recently purchased. I
just wanted to say working with you was a pleasure and the back plate is
outstanding. I am a stickler for details. I am very impressed with the
placement of, and the finish of the strap holes as well as the finish of the
plate itself. Thanks again for
your service, Happy Holidays to you and yours!

I have bought 2 masks from Matt. Both were exceptional quality. Not only was the initial sale great, Matt's service after the sale was excellent.

I got my first mask from Matt in 1995, and it lasted until 2009. Over the 14 year life of that mask, I had it reconditioned by Matt twice, and had the cage replaced 4 times. Every transaction was a breeze, and product was at my door on or before the quoted delivery time.

I got my second mask from Matt in 2009. it was a completely custom paint job, and Matt provided suggestions and input through the whole process. During this transaction, I was dealing with Matt from a distance, and he went out of his way to make me feel comfortable with the design and fit of my new mask BEFORE I sent him a nickel.

I would recommend Matt and Promasque without hesitation to anyone looking for a goalie mask that has not only eye popping designs, but superior fit and protection."

Hi Matt,

I just wanted to thank you for making my experience with Promasque first rate. While I am only a men's league recreationally hockey goalie, I felt like I received the same attention as your professional and collegiate clients. From our extensive first discussions about quality of the product to the concepts behind the custom paint work I always felt like a VIP.

The custom paint work was all that I expected and more. I have received nothing but rave reviews from everyone who has looked at the finished product. Considering the theme of the paint, probably the best compliment was from my nine year old nephew who said that the painting was creepy. I appreciate all of the input you provided to take my initial thoughts and enhance them with so many extras. It really made the design.

Seeing the final product was only upstaged by the performance of the helmet. It was light weight, fit like it was molded specifically for my face and allows for excellent vision. It is the ultimate in performance and comfort. I have used the product for a few weeks now and have seen an improvement in my confidence and subsequently in my game.

Thank you again for an awesome experience. It was truly a pleasure, and I look forward to many happy victories using your excellent product.

Sincerely,

Rob Borrelli

Matt,

Quite simply , its gorgeous, the wood looks absolutely real, the skulls are awesome, that eye on the back plate is crazy good...you've totally outdone yourselves this time. Everyone who sees it is freaking out!!! thx again for yet another masterpiece!!!!!

Jim Turturici

Hey Matt,

By the way my Sportmask finally made it
back (shell was replaced, thankfully), and after putting them both on
I can't believe how much better your mask fit. I felt like my head
was wobbling around in my Sportmask, I have a feeling it'll be for
sale pretty quickly!

Thanks again for all your help!

D.

Matt;

I received my mask back on Thursday. You did a superior job restoring the interior. It sure needed it!!! I see you made some changes in there. I really like the larger sweat band! Thanks again for great American quality & unsurpassed service!!

Thanks Russ

Matt ,

Jordan's mask arrived today and it was well worth the wait, the quality of it is first rate and the replica paint job is everything that I hoped it would be. Jordan has 2 other masks and after putting on his new Promasque he refuses to wear his other helmet. As soon as I walked in the door from work he had his new Promasque in his hand and he was explaining to me the difference in craftsmanship, fit and finish. I could not believe how much better his new Promasque fit him, as well as how comfortable it looked on him. As long as Jordan is playing hockey he will only be wearing a Promasque helmet .

Thanks,

Mr. Brant

My only disappointment is that I didn't buy him one sooner

Just so you know, the kid slept in it last night , he wont take it off or let it leave his site , he cant believe how comfortable it is , I tried it on and it wouldn't get even onto my head, however Matt he really loves it , cant say thanks enough , I will get a picture of him for you this weekend in all his pads on the ice , once again , thanks perfect fit

"Hey! I just received my mask. I love what an incredible job you guys did
on it! The first thing I said was that I couldn't use it, because it was
too nice looking! Thanks so much for the help in putting it together for
me, it's Greatttttt!"
Mick

Hi Matt.

I got the helmet in the mail about a month ago. Thank you so much. It fits well. Thank u!!!! I love the mask!

Thanks again!!

Brandon brown

Matt,

Thank you so MUCH !!!!!!! Evan LOVES the Mask….It is exactly what he hoped for in a paint job and I as his father is thrilled that he is protected by the finest mask made!!!!

Thanks

Danny

Matt,

That's great. Thanks for the great service - we're looking forward to welcoming Promasque #4 into the family!

Best, Joe O

I finally took a great shot off of my Promasque. I felt the impact in my neck and a slight sting to my cheeks and that is it. I stand 100% by this mask and its half the weight of the mask most of the pro's wear. I think from this point forward you can consider me a Promasque guy, so long Itech and thanks for all the weight......

So a giant thank you to Matt at Promasque for making such an amazing product!

Troy in Minneapolis

I really appreciate the costumer service you guys have giving me. I will never buy from anyone else and I will always recommend you to others.

Thanks again,

Vincent Scott

Matt,

got my helmet yesterday, and I am very pleased with the final product. The fit was perfect with the extra padding in the cheeks, and I couldn't have been more thrilled at the paint. Thanks for all the work.

If you ever need a Canadian "rep" to trumpet the benefits of Promasque let me know. I would be happy to help you out.

Many Thanks,

Pete Aldrich

Just a short note to tell you how pleased I am with my newly, painted, refurbished mask! I really like it!! The mask feels even more protective now that it has been gone over thoroughly. Good thing too, my summer league has several NHL players, many more Division 1 college level players. I feel lucky to be able to play with these guys. Already tested the mask a couple of times, shots to the head. These guys can really fire that puck!! They’re always apologetic afterwards, asking if I’m OK. Of course, I say, I’m wearing my ProMasque!! Both times, just a slight jar, that’s all. No more snaps popping off!! I love it!!!

Thanks for everything you’ve done!

One very pleased customer,
Bill Wilson

Matt,

Just a note to let you know what a GREAT product (and insane paint job on top of it) you made for my son Matthew. My wife and I were apprehensive at first about spending a little more on a goalie helmet, but now after Matt's first season as goalie we are THRILLED with our decision to go with ProMasque. During the season Matt took at least TWELVE HARD shots off the mask. My wife and I were of course truly worried each time it happened! When asked after the game about them he said grinning with confidence " I didn't feel anything at all, but I heard the thud", we knew we made the right choice. He has moved up 4 LEVELS for this upcoming season and we know that your ProMasque has played a tremendous part in his success. He is playing with the utmost confidence which for a 10 year old up and coming goalie is most important. My wife and I can't express our gratitude enough to you and your product, and it goes without saying that Matt will be in a ProMasque for the rest of his career(however long that may be)!!!!

Sincerely,

Jon and Sue Rayburn, Northborough, Ma

P.S. We just went to the goalie barn on your website and we would like to order The Simmons Junior Ultra light 5 Pads, Blocker, and Catch Glove for the upcoming season.... Thanks JON

Matt,

I just wanted to thank you and the artist for doing such a wonderful job painting my mask. I (and my girlfriend) absolutely love it! It’s literally exactly what I pictured in my head and more. The customer service was perhaps the best I’ve ever had anywhere! I will definitely refer any of my buddies looking to get their masks done to you. Also, I know exactly where I’m going next time I need a mask or another paintjob. Thank you again so much!

-Matt Goshorn

Had a mask done in a Grateful Dead theme and it is the BEST !!

Anyone who gets a mask anywhere else will get HOSED !!

Matty and his product are the BEST !!

Joe Oleary

Hello Matt,

What can I say but ... WOW!.. You out did yourselves!

My wife's birthday present looks spectacular! She is going to love it and it matches her current equipment very well.

I am super impressed!

Thank you!

Hi Matt

Thought you might like to know, Collin finished 4^th in the goalies world magazine rankings for the emjhl. He has been asked to a camp in the NAHL for a look.

He adjusted to the new mask very quickly, has taken some zingers off the helmet with no ringing, feels this is the best mask he has ever worn, and it is all about a goalie being confident, right….

Thanks again

Michael

Matt:

I just wanted to follow up with you on Alex's season. Alex probably had one of his best seasons in his short career. His team went undefeated in league play, won the New York State Championship and came in 3rd place at the Nationals.. Through this long and grueling season we played teams from all over and in our opinion no goalie had a better paint job than Alex's in terms of design, workmanship and quality. I am convinced that you have to be comfortable with your equipment and look good to play good. Thanks for your part in making Alex's season a great success.

I got the helmet, it looks great! I can't tell you how awesome I think it came out...and it fits perfectly too. I'm surprised at how light weight it is compared to other helmets I've had. I can't wait to get out on the ice with it though. I appreciate all the hard work you all did, please pass my thanks along to anyone that had a hand in it. I will most definitely be in touch in the future if I'm looking for another custom helmet!
Thanks,

I'm going on my 13th year with my ProMasque. Just an unbelievable product you've created, Matt. I never thought I would get that kind of durability on any type of goalie gear. Worth every penny.

Bill in Illinois

The helmet is 14 years old and going strong! Best equipment purchase I have ever made…too bad you don’t make sticks.

Great job you and your painter really hit the mark with these, I love them... You were right about the new molds fitting a little slimmer, definitely a snugger fit than my first one. Thanks again for everything, and I've put a link on my Senior hockey site to you guys and will post some pictures and try to send some business your way!

Man, no words can express! I can't help but keep staring at it. I'm actually glad I went with the decision to get it painted; on a real mask!

The mask is pretty much what I imagined, right down to the coat of arms

Take care,
Peter Medina

Matt,
Tom's mask arrived last Thursday and he loves it. He loves the color!!!
Very nice piece of work. He wore it in a game Sunday for the first time and took a puck off of it. He never felt it.

Thanks for everything. I think his head is in good hands.

Mike

Hi Matt,
I have noticed just about all our upper level goalies (Bantam/Midgets) are now wearing your goalie masks.
Awesome product.
Rich (Ben) Benedict

Matt,
Blake’s new mask came a few weeks ago and I just wanted to write and tell you how pleased we are with it. We purchased the Promasque XDK and we have already found out what a great product it truly is and that it was definitely worth every penny we paid for it. Blake has taken several high speed impacts to the mask and cage already without so much as a scratch and Blake reports that it feels much more solid, and safer, than his old Kevlar mask. The fit is fantastic and it looks beautiful too. It is obviously designed to withstand the type of impacts that he will receive playing against the national competition my 14 year-old son regularly faces. He seemed to gain confidence from wearing this mask and it may not be a coincidence that he had three straight shutouts after he began playing with his new mask.

I also want to compliment you and your company. You could not have been more responsive. The design was basically Blake’s but your added suggestions and the benefits of your experience were perfect. You and your painter made my son’s ideas into a reality that he is just ecstatic about. Blake is constantly getting compliments and he is so proud of his mask. The whole process was quick and easy and my questions were answered quickly, fully and professionally. The personal attention you gave to me and the mask as it went through its manufacture told me a great deal about the pride you have in your company and in the quality of the product you produce. I was looking for a pro level custom mask and I got even more than I was seeking.

I would recommend this mask to anyone for their son or daughter (or themselves) as the perfect hybrid between personalized beauty and the ultimate in protection.

Thank you so much. We will definitely be a return customer.

Hi Matt,

I just wanted to thank you for the amazing job you did on my mask. I have never tried on a mask that has fit so well, or felt as light as this one. And as for the paint job, it is so much better then I could have ever imagined. You can really tell the quality and care that you and everyone else involved has put into it and I am very grateful.

Thanks again,
Russ Mann

I received my mask and all I can say is WOW. The quality and craftsmanship are top notch, and the paint job… incredible!! Please extend my thanks to the artist for his creativity and talent. I’ve never worn a mask that was so comfortable and lightweight! Thanks again for the outstanding job, you’ve earned a customer for life!

Good Morning Matt,

I've been meaning to email you, and now I finally am. I had purchased an XDK ProMasque helmet probably about 2 months ago, and I cannot even begin to tell you the difference between my old and new helmets!! I absolutely LOVE this helmet. The main reason for a new helmet was because of concussion #9 after being hit in the forehead with a point-blank slapshot, and this concussion was my worst by far.

I had to take well over a month off of hockey, and finally about 2 1/2 months after getting hit, I'm really feeling and playing like my old goalie self. Of course since returning to the ice, I've been getting more shots to the head than ever, and my head is SO much more protected than before -- apparently you aren't supposed to hurt and have ringing ears every time you get hit in the head-- go figure!

A huge thank you to you and to ProMasque, your helmets are far superior. (And the HECC Cat-Eye Mask is working out great!) I recommend your helmet at every chance I get. When the time does come around, I will definitely send my helmet in for reconditioning-- we had spoken about being diligent about reconditioning. I have to be very careful with my head, and I trust your judgment. (The foam and padding in my old helmet is hard as a rock...I didn't realize how bad of shape the inside was in.)

Enjoy your day!

Vicki Castellon

Matt,

Just got Kyle's mask and to say that it came out great would be and understatement !!! What a fantastic job you and your staff did. The paint job is phenomenal and could not be better if I had been there to tell you how to put it on step by step. I want to thank you for all your help in getting through this with us and we really do appreciate everything you did. What a tribute this mask is to all the firefighters out there who gave their all on that very tragic day and those that continue to do so today. Kyle will show that he supports them and their families every time he steps on the ice. He has it in his blood. I will get pictures to you ASAP. Once again, Thank you.

Just wanted to thank you and tell you how much Christian loves his new goalie mask! He got to use it all this week at goalie camp and was very proud to do so! Thanks for making this such an easy process. I'll be sure to tell everyone where to go for their goalie masks from now on!

Regards,

Andrea

Hello Matt,

We wanted to be certain that you know how much Joseph LOVES his helmet! We had prepared him to know that his exact vision would be impossible for you to match and he needed to be happy with the result anyway. However, it is perfect! We all find it amazing that from our talking on the phone and couple of emails you were able to do such a perfect job of matching his ideas. He is thrilled with the paint and the fit and can't wait to get on the ice. He finished camp and does not have ice time until this Wednesday so he has yet to play in it. Will let you know how that goes...in the mean time...THANKS SO MUCH for a perfect job!

Sheila Abruzzo

Hi Matt,

I received my Mask from you the week before last and wanted to send you an email of thanks. I absolutely love this Helmet! You would not know that it was not brand new. It is totally awesome!

I have played several games with this new cage and love having a perfect fitting top of the line mask!

Basically. I got a $450 custom fitted mask for under $300. I highly recommend your service and have already told anyone who will listen about your company.

You can absolutely use me a a reference!

Thanks Matt!

Larry Allen

Matt,

Just wanted to send you a note to tell you how much I am enjoying my mask.

I have been hit several times in the noodle and no ringing or nothing.

Also, my son and I attended a Planet Hockey camp last week and the coaches, from Sweden, Canada and the States, all said it looked great and they loved the air bag system! I still have not been able to take any good action pics but as soon as I do, I will send some to you.

Thanks again, Matt.

All the best,

Mark

Dear Matt,

We wanted to thank you so much for the great paint job on our son’s helmet. It was a great success at the tournament this past weekend. Your turnaround time was perfect. I have attached pictures. My son was delighted. As in the past, it was once again a pleasure doing business with you. Now he has a great helmet with a great paint job. It was hard not to buy all the photos at the tournament. The photographer loved the helmet so much that there were approximately 20 pictures of him per game. (Note: I only saw two of the other goalie).

Thanks again,

Danny & Ann Marie Mastrogiacomo

Matt:

I can’t thank you enough for doing what you did for Nick, and so fast! He absolutely loves the helmet he had his first night of tryouts last night and as we expected it was perfect, he has great vision with the new cage and incredible comfort. Thank you again for taking the time and for making these phenomenal pieces of equipment, we will be contacting you soon for paint.

Thank you,

Sincerely Jim, Patti & Nick Villa

Matt!!!

It looks incredible! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! And thank you so much for the cage! I've got a lifetime supply. I was hoping the little guy would look ok and he sure does...looks MEAN on top!

This is going to look and feel brand new. You now use plastic buckles again?

I can't wait to try it!!!! I will be sending action pics soon!

Again, thank you Matt. You have a friend and loyal customer for as long as I lace them up.

Tom Ryan

Black with gold sparkles to match the gold cat eye shield. He has taken some serious shots of it, and said, all he heard was a pop.

Sunday nights game, Coach Barry Solomon came up and said he played great. I said..... he took some off the head for it..... he said "I counted four". And when I asked Chris on the ride hone "How many hit your head"..... response "I don't know". Usually he would know..... but he never flinched and maintained his concentration.

The gold cat eye shield looks really cool. Wait until you see it.

Ben

Hi Matt,

I got my helmet back the other day and can't thank you enough! You guys did such a great job, I can't even find the words to describe it. Every inch of the helmet was even better than I could possibly imagine. You have been such a great help from the very beginning of the process, and truly have a great mind and eye for what makes a painted helmet look good. I can't wait to wear it for my next game and show the other guys on my team. Thanks again, Matt.

Tim Kane

I just received my mask today (Monday March 5th). I love it. You did a great job reconditioning it. I can wait to start using it again. Thank you for the prompt service in reconditioning and sending it back to be. I will recommend your masks to every goalie I know.

Matty,

Hope all is well. Just have to say the new lid has been great, and passed the first big test last night.

We have a couple of Russian kids who join us for our Monday skate from time to time. One of them is 6'4", roughly 215, and has a booming shot. I'd estimate it's close to 100 mph. All I know is I haven't seen a shot that hard and fast since college.

Anyway, he gets the puck off a turnover at the blue line, and I see him go for that big wind-up and get way out on top of the crease. He got all of it, and the shot was a riser, and hit me right on the cage by my right cheek. As I always expect with a Pro Masque, I heard the "PING!", but didn't get shaken up at all, and was still in the play as the puck found its way behind the net. I know of no other mask that could allow me to get hit that hard without missing a beat. I was back on my feet, back in the net, and stopping a wraparound right after. The cage now has a small dent in it, but that's much better than a dented brain!

Of course, it happened my fiancée was there to watch, and she wasn't to happy to see me get hit in the noggin. She thanks you from the bottom of her heart that my head is still in one piece. She now understands why I would never wear any other mask.

Thanks again,

Dax Arguello

Dear Matt,

Awesome job on my mask!!! I could not not be happier. I will wear it with pride and tell everyone where I got it. My daughter is 10 years old, and wants a mask painted up too. She wants something in an evil hello kitty theme. I will look you up again, when she earns it.

Thanks,

Costa / Massachusetts

Hey Matt,

I got the mask and it looks great! Wyatt is going to love the mask.

It was delivered to my house by UPS at 7:30am!!

You did a fine job, thanks

Gail

Matt;

I just have to say thanks. The mask is beautiful! that skull is badass! And it will look great from afar too! Dealing with you has been great and I will definitely refer your mask to others as well as painter.

Thanks again for everything.

Ryan

Matt:

I just can not believe I just received the mask! You have to be one of the most AMAZING mask makers to do business with!! The mask is absolutely beautiful and you were correct - the approved cat eye cage is great!

I can not thank you enough for the mask, the great price & the great service!!

Tony

Matt,

I just wanted to take a minute and send a quick note to you.

First of all let me tell you what a pleasure it has been to deal with you throughout the entire mask shopping experience. I am self employed as well and getting people to return phone calls is sometimes harder than shopping for an item itself. You on the other hand, were very prompt in response to questions we had and were very helpful in helping us choose the right mask for our son. After receiving the mask originally, Connor our son was extremely happy with the look and feel of the mask right out of the box. After a few weeks, we sent the mask back to you with "quite a detailed" list of requests for a custom paint job and boy was Connor happy with what arrived. Let me tell you, he has been patiently waiting for several weeks for the mask to arrive and today August 18, which happens to be his birthday just happened to be the day it arrived. I can honestly say that no other present would have brought the smile to his face like seeing this mask for the first time did. The artist who did the work is truly amazing and he captured everything that Connor was looking for on the mask. Please extend our appreciation to him when you talk to him again. Your a first class organization and I will be glad to recommend as many people as I can to you.

Thanks again for all of your help,

Wayne McWilliams

Hi Matty,

Thank you sooooo much! All Brants friends were blown away by the mask! Brant says he has awesome visibility with the helmet and cage! Even pucks to the cage never mind the helmet were so much better than the wjd or itech mask he had! The quality surpassed even what we thought it would be, and we had pretty high expectations, even the bag was top notch! What was really surprising is how light the XDK helmet is for being so protective, and there is no way the helmet could ever fly off with player sticks flying at his head down on the ice. It fits like a dream and is unbelievable comfortable, not to mention the throat collar you tied on is perfectly placed and doesn't bother him at all! We really can't say or thank you enough for all you've done for our son and goalies everywhere who are fortunate enough to wear your product! Thanks for everything Matty, I hope you had a great few days off! You' ve definitely got new satisfied clients in us for life, and we will be sure to spread the word.

Dana Clancy

Hey Matt,

We received Cameron’s mask yesterday and all I can say is WOW!! We love it. It fits Cameron perfectly and he can’t wait for the season to start so he can show it off.

Thanks so much,

Mary Catherine Gray

Matt,

The Mask arrived this afternoon. It looks outstanding. I sent it home for Keenan to check out at lunchtime and he is beside himself. After waiting so long I cannot believe that it could possibly exceed his expectations but I think it has. I will report back after he has had a chance to use it in play. Thank you once again. We will be in touch to let you know how it works and we will spread the good word about your business.

Matt,

My husband spoke to your wife about a week ago to express our thanks, but I just wanted to take some time to send you a note of appreciation for all you did.

We received the new goalie mask, and we must say..... we love it!! Our son was ecstatic when he saw it. It is just as he pictured it. The quality of the paint job is tremendous, and we all LOVE IT!!! Please pass on our thanks to your painter. I don't know what else to say, but I will send a photo when the season starts.

All our thanks!!

Matty,

Just wanted to thank-you for the unbelievable job you did on my mask.

It looks even better than I imagined. You run a first class operation and I couldn't have asked for better service. If you are ever in the area (Don Simmons), let me know, I will buy you a few beers. Take care and I will spread the good word about your masks.

Thanks again,

Mike Chase

Hey Matty:

Just wanted to let you know that i love the helmet. I remember when i first looked at your site i read the reviews and i didn't think anything could have made me react like that...until i got the helmet. One word that sums it up.....solid. Its just a solid piece of equipment....and i only have the classique!. I used to get minor headaches about an hour after getting hit really hard, but in three skates with the pro-masque i have taken two really hard ones....one to the forehead, the other on the chin with nothing but smiles afterwards. Just an amazing experience Matt. Thanks again for everything. I want to try and get you a couple of pics in the near future. I'll let you know as soon as i am ready for the custom paint that we talked about, even though i REALLY love the harvard maroon. Thanks again Matty. Talk to you soon.

Matty:

Mask is here. Looks great! Thanks a ton Matty, you’re a class act. I will definitely let people know about Pro-Masque!

Matty,

I just got in from hockey and the UPS guy was at my door. I just want to say it was well worth the wait. The paint job looks really cool. I cant wait to show the guys at the next game. I also want to say thank you for making a great mask. I really love my new mask. It's so much lighter that my old one. You really know what your doing. I wish I was a pro goalie because I would endorse your masks in a heart beat. I have gotten a lot of questions about mine by some of the goalies I play against and I just tell them to check out your web site. I hope I cant at least send someone your way. Well thanks again and I'll let you know when I'm ready for the Roli paint job.

Jeff

Matt,

I have to tell you, I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of the XDK.

During last nights game it got pretty physical deep in my end and wound up getting pushed into the crease. Needless to say I wound up with a two handed baseball swing to the side of the head, caught the mask flush. If this happened in any of my previous masks I would have at least had my hearing ringing for quite some time, worst case another concussion. Well let me tell you, I barely even felt it and heard a ping. Nothing more, the guy seems quite surprised that I did not even flinch after his swing.

So after the game ends, I take the mask off for inspection. You guessed it not even a scratch on the side of the mask. Like I said earlier I am impressed with the quality that the mask is built with, and obviously the safety that comes along with that.

Thanks Matt!!

Scott Berlin

Matt,

Three years ago I bought one of your helmets for my daughter Kristin after she had to sit out a couple of games with a concussion while playing her freshman year at Salve Regina University. During her four years as the starting goalie for Salve she played 67 games making 3202 saves, including 93 saves in one game and 1001 saves in her final season. She also earned Goalie of the week honors twice in her senior year, was named the team MVP and earned a mention in USA Hockey for her 1001 saves in one season.

Even with all these shots she never received another concussion which I know was because of the helmet. She also received many complements on the art work.

In August Kristin accepted the position as Assistant Coach for Salve Regina University Women’s hockey team.

Thank you again for making a wonderful product which I know saved my daughters brain.

Hi Matt:

After wearing my new mask around the house and the office for a few weeks, I finally got a chance to wear it on the ice last night. In a word, WOW!

For the first time in almost 20 years of goaltending I have something on my head that fits. The visibility is great. The airflow is as good as can be expected, and the mask just looks wonderful. While I have not yet taken a shot to the head, it is clear the quality construction of this mask will protect my head and face better than anything else I've used.

Thanks for the great mask!

Matthew

Matt,

Here is a picture of my son Derek Spencer, he plays for Rochester Youth Hockey. He has been wearing the Pro-masque you made for him for over a year now and he loves it.

Last year as a Pee Wee he played up to the Bantam level and he and his team won the Seacoast Championship. This year he is playing Bantam 1 and he also practices with the Midget Major 2 team. I believe the Pro-Masque gives him the confidence, at just 13 years old, to play with the High School kids.

Thanks so much for making such a great product.

Michael Spencer

Hi Matt,

Isaac and I were talking about you tonight and wanted to thank you so much for the beautiful helmet you made. Yes, it did arrive safe and sound in Las Vegas. Isaac’s team took the gold from LA after a rough game and broken bones. Isaac says the mask makes him feel more confident – that “my head is in good hands.” Thanks for the safety, thought, intelligence and skill that went into its making. And please thank the artist for us. We hope you are well and that we can continue to do business with you. Take Care.

Catherine and Isaac

I am including a couple of pictures for you. One of Brick with Team USA roller (Gold medal in World Cup and Silver in Junior Olympics) and two of his mask. If you look close, you will see a distinct bend in the double wire center portion of the cage and the subsequent "push" mark just below the eagle's beak. I don't need to explain to you the type of impact it takes from a puck to do this kind of damage. We are so fortunate that we found you and your company. Without this mask my son would have been knocked senseless and possibly knocked out, or in the hospital! If you look to the right of this bend, he had another - about one month ago on the side, that also bent the cage, but nothing compared to this one. The shot direct to the center double bar was the first shot that he said he ever "felt" with this mask, but he said it was really more force that any type of pain.

God bless you and thanks from the bottom of our hearts,

Blake, Nancy and Kyle "Brick" Buric'

"... Thanks for supporting our organization - I'll be sure to refer all of our goaltenders to Promasque."

Thanks,

Joe O'Loughlin

"Its Ed again, i just wanted to let u know that i am very pleased with my new Promasque. when i 1st got to your house that night my heart was pounding anxiously waiting to see my mask. as soon as i saw it i felt like I won a million bucks. the paint job came out very nice and i like it a lot. its Monday the 31st and i just got back from practice. everyone at the rink could not help but comment or stare at it. all my teammates thought it was better than some of the NHL goalies masks. its an honor to have the best head protection you can buy. i did happen to take a couple of shots off the head seeing how everyone wanted to hit me there. i barely felt a thing. now i can play with the confidence of looking good and with the best protection. Matt if only you could know how happy i am to have this new mask. you must hear that from a lot from people. but anyway i just wanted to let you know that i am very pleased with my new helmet and it wont be my last. i will send you some pics when i get a chance. if you could i would like you to show this email to your painter and let him know that he did an excellent job with it. i cant thank you enough. "

[Pro-Masque Response]
"Hey Eddie!

Glad to hear you like the mask! I thought it came out very well. I told the painter I'd get back to him as to how you liked it, I'll forward to email to him, that should do the trick.

I try very hard to get the masks the way the customers want them. I realize fully that young kids like you, and there are many of them, have to pay for all or most of the mask yourself. This is why I do my best. Even though I make masks for NHL guys, it also means a great deal, perhaps even more, to hear that kids like you are happy with their masks......

I assume Dad and Mom liked it too? They're great people. They also have to put a lot of trust in me, and I do appreciate it.

Thanks for all the compliments, we'll put your email in the "Testimonials" section of the site so all can see it. It really helps, because most people need to see what we're all about when they order off the internet without meeting us.

My direct email is matt@promasque.com

Thanks again, I'll look forward to the pics. We'll put you up on the Goalie of the month" section.

Best regards,

Matty"

"I wanted to say thanks for 4 great years with my first goalie helmet. After suffering one severe and one minor concussion, my dad switched me from a player helmet to the promasque. It has really helped my play and protected me in a number of bad situations. Your company is one of the few that is smart enough to not use plastic buckles. My team just recently placed third at last years nationals and this years Connecticut Polar Bear U16 tier 1 girls tournament. I also noticed how common the promasque is becoming at higher levels of girls hockey. Hopefully, I will be getting my second helmet (maybe with a paint job!) if I make a division 1 college hockey program. Thanks again! Oh yeah, I haven't had another concussion since receiving my new helmet in 8th grade."

"I just wanted to take the time and thank you for the outstanding job you and your artist did on my new mask.

The comfort and fit is just plush compared to the 12 year old Badger Elite that I was used to playing with.

I took a particularly nasty shot to the head about a week & a half ago that deflected out of play. Outside of the sound of the puck ricocheting off my head there was no discomfort at all.

As for the art work, it went beyond my expectation. Your insight and your ability to understand what I wanted to portrait were apparent from the start. The end result was exceptional. Comments of “it’s too nice to wear during play” and “It should be hang on the wall “are not uncommon to hear. It is truly a work of art. Once again, heart felt thanks for a job well done."

"..Absolutely Awesome! My Gosh, I have never seen Patrick so eager to put on a mask......he was just amazed at the construction and of the design and paint job! Needless to say, we are both very very pleased with the quality of your work. I don't know who your painter is but, wow! what a job. Patrick really liked the throat area and the "A" was a knockout! We sure were on the right page......snazzy, yet classy, and a real standout. I think his coach will really be surprised! Thank you Matt, and also thank you for such a speedy, I mean breakneck speed, for completion! I never expected it to be even completed for this season, much less having it for Christmas..."

"Well, after nearly 20 years playing hockey it was bound to happen a game where I got hit not once, not twice, but three times in my mask! I think all three got me either on the cage or the forehead And, on one of those I was down in the butterfly and actually deliberately steered my head to block the shot.

I play with a bunch of older guys so after each time the shooter skated by to say he was sorry. And each time I told him, no worries, I m fine because I was. Except for some rattling at the impact, I was none the worse for wear.

I sure am glad I accidentally bumped into you at Pure Hockey in Braintree two summers ago and bought that Promasque Graphite on your recommendation. It seemed like a lot of money at the time, but in retrospect it was money very, very well spent.

"I forgot to thank you & the paint shop for doing a fantastic job on my son's helmet. You all went beyond my expectations. It looks awesome! I appreciate the personal attention from you Matt! My son, Matt, plays for Arlington Catholic H.S. and the cougar design was perfect. Thanks again Matt, I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into helping me and my son out. The service I received from you and your company is the reason I recommend you to everyone I meet. Thanks a million."

Sincerely,

"Thanks for everything with Austin's mask. It turned out awesome!! The paint is exactly what I was thinking. I must admit I was a bit nervous describing what I wanted over the phone, but you got it perfect! Thanks for everything and I hope to do business with you in the future!"

Thanks,

"Just received my son's helmet. It looks great and he is thrilled. He went to bed with it - that is a 13-year old for you.

I greatly appreciate that you gave it mailing priority. UPS brought the package to our house at 6:30 P.M. last night. My son Ben started jumping up and down when he got the package...Great doing business with you."

"The Mask is sweet, have played in it a few times, and my head is staying much cooler than in my Itech. Also took first good shot right to the cage, and felt nothing, just a slight thud!"

"...just wanted to let you know how well Kyle's helmet protected him this past Varsity season. I maintain Kyle's equipment such as packing and drying after every game or practice. I frequently inspected his helmet after skates and cleaned up many puck and tape marks from the helmet surface. I asked Kyle if he ever felt the impacts on his helmet and usually replied no. There is even a slight bend in the center of the cage he didn't even feel. I would like to extol the safety factor of your helmet for he did receive a blow to the head were an opposing player swung his stick with the intent to injure Kyle. Kyle did finish out the period but took himself out do to a pounding headache. I do not feel he would have been that lucky if he was wearing a mass produced plastic helmet. I inspected the helmet closely after the game and didn't even find a screw loose..."

"...The mask was wonderful, all I needed to do was inflate the air bag inside the mask and that was it. I have taken so many shots off of my head that with my old mask would have made my ears ring for days but I didn't feel it at all with your mask. I couldn't have asked for anything better! You were so helpful and personal in your service and it was the best service I have ever received with anything. I know that you don't buy goalie masks very often but I can assure you I will never buy anything now other than a Pro-Masque! Words really can't express how happy felt when I received it and how impressed I was with your personal service. Many, many thanks."

Andy P.

"...The new shell has been bullet proof and Keith still has not had the slightest incident of "bell ringing" while wearing your helmet. It used to be quite common with the Simmons and that was over 2 years ago. Keith is now 16 and is often taking shots from the Whaler Jr. B's as well as college and Jr A shooters when he goes to camp in Canada. You can imagine the velocity of these shots as well as the occasional slash to the head with literally not a single incident of anything that bothered him. That is amazing..."

"I just wanted to let you know that my son Matt's new mask is awesome. It is a great fit and paint job. His team went 2-0 this weekend with the new mask. He and his team love it! Thanks again for all of your help."

John P.

"I absolutely love the paint job, and I can't believe what a comfortable fit the helmet is! All I had to do was put a little air in the bag system, and everything else was already adjusted perfectly! I don't know how you did it, but you did! My old helmet had a lot less Kevlar, but still outweighs this beauty. It's truly a masterful work of engineering.

...there's no rule in our employees handbook about helmets, and I'm wearing mine in the office right now I'm so proud!"

"Just a quick note. Even after 2 years, I still get great compliments on the paint job of my mask. I still enjoy looking at it myself. Thanks again and I'm sure I will be back for some new work in the future."

"Just wanted to let you know that everywhere we go your mask brings comments & complements. We have been dropping the Pro-Masque name daily, a week and a half past, while attending Silver Sticks about thirty (30) goalies stopped by the locker room, to the distraction of the coaches, to check out "the mask". As for the quality there is no need to tell you it's perfect in every aspect. Our Matthew took a shot straight into the cage (captured on film) and never flinched, he saw it but did not feel it - a testament to the quality of the padding system. Thank you."

"Mask arrived safely. Our son's word - Whoa!!!!!!
Whoever did the paint it's beautiful - hope you took a picture or two for your gallery. Thanks."

Leonard Z.

"Matty,

Mere words cannot begin to explain how satisfied I am with the end result of my mask. I was impressed every step of the way. The customer service was the best that I have ever seen, in any business. Your artist took my design concept and hit the nail right on the head. I was speechless when I received the pictures of my mask from you. Thank you for providing me with an exceptional mask that I am sure will be the talk of the rink. Who would have thought that all of this would have been possible from Iraq?"

LCpl James Reifsnyder USMC

"Just wanted to let you know that Max completed a one week goalie camp and is in the middle of a one-week conditioning camp including six hours a day of ice time, all intermixed with weekly team practice and his new ProMasque has proven its value. He's happy; I'm happy; and most importantly, his Mom is happy with the mask.

Thanks for all your help in selecting the right mask and for making the ProMasque available."

Andy

"We received Jake s helmet and did it look awesome!!!!!! The artist did an excellent job of painting the Wolf head on the helmet. It is truly a work of art and one of a kind . Many people have asked me where we got the helmet. I hope you don t mind me dropping the Pro Masque name around the different rinks we visit.

There was no extra fitting needed. Jake put the helmet on, adjusted the air fit, and had been playing hockey all summer long with it. He is tuning up for the upcoming season and looking forward to leaving an impression with his new helmet. Thanks again for all your personal help.

Jesse W.

"...great job on the helmet. Right out of the box it was almost a perfect fit first time on. Few minor strap and air bag adjustments and the helmet was ready to go. You must be part magician to get the fit that close for only corresponding thru the Internet and two phone calls. Thanks again for a great product and prompt service. I believe we will feel a lot more comfortable watching our son playing this year having the confidence that we have taken the proper steps in protecting him. We were happy to see the excitement our son expressed knowing he will be wearing a much more comfortable fitting and protective helmet this coming Varsity season. Thanks Matt"

"I would just like to thank you for the your time and effort and most importantly helping me get a perfect mask for a very nice price. I am very pleased to say the least about the fit and the comfort of this shell. With the new style APPROVED cage my vision has felt as if it has doubled if not tripled. Thank you once again I am satisfied customer!!! Thank you Matt"

The silver paint is great looking also!!!!! Thank you!!!

Adam L.

"First of all, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to have me up at your shop and making sure I didn't need a bigger mask than i needed. and as for the mask, it's beautiful! I love the color, I love the fit, I just plain love this mask! I won't even wear it in practice! It's just too good looking to get puck marks all over it. I am glad that there is a mask company out there that really takes the time to make sure that all is well. I will gladly refer your masks to anyone looking for one! As I am sure that you will treat them the same way that you treated me. [competitors] EAT YOUR HEART OUT!"

"We received our son's new helmet this past Thursday Magnificent comes to mind. The fit and finish are standard Pro-Masque perfect . Furthermore, the artist s interpretation of our son Matthew's ideas is absolutely beautiful your artists out did themselves. As a footnote everyone at this past weekends games commented on the quality and beauty of the mask we gave the goalie parents your contact information. This is Matthew's second Pro-Masque and will not be his last you have a customer for life. Job well done, Thank You!"

"Hey Matt, its Kristin s., my design was the seahawk and the frog on the back. the artists did a great job with it, and it fits well. I've only wore it once so far I'm waiting for the college season to start. but when i wore it, it was when i was playing against grown men who played in college, and during the game i was hit in the head with the puck, and i didn't even feel it. so in other words, its a great helmet, and thanks for everything! ill send a pic to put on your webpage when i start playing at salve again. thanks again."

Kristin S.

"Got the helmet yesterday. With all the words in the English language the only one that kept coming to mind was "Wow." We were in total awe. What an incredible work of art. I have to believe Patrick Lalime himself would be jealous of this mask. We pick up our daughter from Elite Hockey Camp tomorrow. I can guarantee the first question out of her mouth will be have we heard about the helmet yet. Won't she be surprised? We would love to send you some pictures of the helmet. Probably this weekend. Feel free to use them on your web site. Thank you for an incredible job. My daughter spent her money wisely."

"Matt:
We want to thank you for making such a fine product! This past January our son was on the receiving end of a brutal full speed Butt-End check to the head. While Matthew did suffer a mild concussion and facial bruising from this hit, it would have been most assuredly much worse were the equipment of any lesser quality. Matt's physicians examined him, his equipment & the video of the incident and all were impressed by the lack of major injury. Quoting one doctor "had his helmet not been of such quality he would have probably suffered a skull/jaw fracture not just a mild concussion and bruising." Just for the record the young man that checked our son was ejected from the league, his USA Hockey membership revoked, the team he played for was placed on one-years probation and they forfeited the game - which - they were losing 3-0. Matthew has fully recovered & we as a family have decided to "retire" his helmet to his trophy shelf and commission a new Pro-Masque for the coming season. Thank you for protecting our son with a fine product.

Leonard & Donna Z."

"We just received the mask I ordered for my son Adam. It arrived exactly as promised , the mask is incredibly better than I thought! Truly the best workmanship we have seen!

Thanks for your time and professionalism!

"I love my Promasque. The mask is durable and light weight. It can handle the punishment at any level. I also love my paint job. It is awesome. I had an idea for my mask ,told Matt what I wanted and it came out exactly as I had envisioned it. I have traveled to the shop twice ,first when ordering the mask and then for some repairs. All I can say is Matt treated me the same way he would've treated one of his professional goaltender customers.. Matt makes you feel special. Matt has on a couple of occasions sent me screws ,buckles and sweat bands free of charge. Matt is the best. I recommend him to all my goaltender friends. Thanks Matt."

"…WOW! It is OUTSTANDING! What a great job you guys did…Hang on to the art work, I have spoken to parents of three of the other Blackjack goalies and described the design…They seem very interested…Thanks again for a GREAT JOB and EXCELLENT SERVICE!…If you have any people looking for references…feel free to give them my number…PS: I also want a PRO PAK. No way he’s gonna keep that work of art in a draw string bag. And I certainly don’t think it’s appropriate to keep it in his Itech bag !…"

"…It is, by far, the most comfortable mask that I’ve ever worn…It feels incredibly solid and balanced as well. Again, thanks…"

"…The mask is already here…my parents say it is simply the best…Thank you for all…"

"…I bought a mask from you in the summer, and I just wanted to drop you a line and say how wonderful it is. After playing my first semester in college at Montclair State U with the helmet …I can honestly say it is by far the best mask I have ever used…there have been at least two occasions when had I not been wearing your mask I would have most likely gotten a serious concussion…"

Jared,
Montclair State University

"…Most web sites are full of bull, but yours isn’t. When I went to Simmons a while ago no mask fit perfect except yours. I love your helmets, I’ve tried others but they don’t feel as good around the head…Thanks a lot for your time and you truly do make the best masks out there…"

"…Thank you very much for your great and efficient service. We really appreciate your cooperation and concern…"

"Writing a note... to tell you that the mask I bought from you has made a huge difference on the way I play and the way I feel after a game. The Itech mask I was using while saving me from outward injury, did not protect me from minor head and ear aches. The puck or stick hitting my mask sounded and felt like an explosion went off in my head. This also made me gun-shy. Your mask absorbs the impact immeasurably better. I even have a tendency to use my head to make a save if that's my only option (I know that's dumb)."

"hey matt, the helmet looks great. thanks for helping me so fast. it was a big help. you definitely went out of your way. thanks again!"

"... one of the long lost users of Pro-masque! Well Matty, those masks Craig & I bought years ago are still around & the old mask is ready for another season of hockey, this makes season number 8, hard to believe...but it is true! Between ice & roller hockey, those masks have been in action 12 months of the year now!"

Chris, from The Great White North

"Matt, I used the new mask this morning. The fit is perfect. It is so much better than my Warwick. It did not move when I went down and was very comfortable to were. The group I played with thought the paint was awesome. Thanks for doing such a great job!! "
Dave, Minnesota

"...In terms of lightweight-ness I would have to say that the new one I just got from you is the lightest weight, and has the most peripheral vision of any mask I have seen on the market. In regards to safety, I think that a Pro-Masque is the safest mask on the market also, when I was five years old my parents got me one because they wanted me to be safe, and because I always liked when people shot pucks at my head. Now I wear one because it's the most comfortable, and well built mask I have tried, I have put it to the test also..."

" ...By far the best service and sales i have ever encountered. "

"I can't thank you enough for the service you did on my helmet. It was going to be tough for me to find time to do a lot of the things I still needed to do on the helmet because tryouts are coming up fast, but you took care of all of them for me. My mom also said that you gave us some extra parts, thanks for those too. I was so afraid that I wasn't going to get a quality clear coat that would look great and protect my helmet, but that seems to be done now."

Dear Mr. Garland:

Enclosed pleas find a picture of my sixteen-year-old daughter, Theresa, taken during the Christmas Holiday Connecticut Polar Bear Tournament.
Puck to Cage!

I thought you might enjoy seeing one of your helmets in a true action shot, as she is about to take that puck right in her cage area. As you can see by the concentration of her eyes, she knows she will get hit there but is staying focused and not blinking to "help" take the hit. She got caught out of position ad the only way she could make the stop was to use her head literally. The save was made and the game won.
The point is she has complete confidence in her Pro-Masque helmet, which finding a helmet that she was comfortable in was no small task either. Up until she turned fourteen she had the Dominic Hasek look going a Bauer 4000 with a metal cage. After her coach hit her in and bent the cage I convinced her to switch to a Goalie helmet. I believe we tried on every manufacturer, (and even had one of the staff at Simmons "making" one from assorted different helmets), when another staff member suggested that she try on a Pro-Masque. She did, loved it immediately and the rest is history. The first few days that she had it all of her teammates took turns wearing it during practice and were very surprised as to how comfortable it is and was.

You might also like to know that her Pro-Masque helmet also passed an "Olympic" test too. Last week Theresa's school team, (Nichols School, Buffalo, NY), faced the Rochester Edge and Olympic/National team member, Lindsey Wall. During the game, Wall cranked a shot at Theresa from the high slot and it hit her right in her chin area. The puck hit her with such force that it actually un-buckled the helmet, but Theresa skated it off uninjured, (although she saw a few stars), and finished the game.

Needless to say, we are all very pleased with her Pro-Masque and she will continue to wear it throughout the remainder of her High School and future collegiate career.

Sincerely,"

David M.

Matty,
Thank you. My new Pro Masque is the best thing I have ever placed on my head. It fits like a glove. The XDK is a wicked sweet mask. The paint is insane. It is exactly what I wanted. Your customer service is the best I have ever experienced. You and myers have won me over. Not only did the mask turn out better them I ever thought, but you gave me such a deal. I cant wait to get some pictures taken and sent back to you. It is the best looking mask on the ice, that is saying a lot since I play at North Americas largest Ice facility. I will promote ProMasque everywhere I go. Again thank you for such a great mask and even better experience getting it.

Matty,

I am writing you to let you know of a side effect my new Pro Masque has had on me. You did not warn me of any side effects that the mask had. My GAA and save % is half of what it was last season. My game has went to a new level.
They are making move up a league due to my performance. Since I have had no training or anything new except for the XDK, It must be the mask. I think you should have a disclaimer stating increased performance is a side effect of the mask. Thanks again for the great mask.

Cody C. Ewing

Once again, a big thanks! The mask turned out even better than I expected. All I could say when I pulled it out of the box was a big WOW. I've already shown it to a few friends, and they have been very impressed.
I just got a call from a team wanting me to sub in a B league game tonight. I'm stoked, knowing that I will be taking my new mask to the ice, and knowing, most importantly, that I'm going to be well protected.

Matt, I just got my helmet and it is beautiful I can't what to use it. Also the navy blue color is very nice. The helmet is perfect fit and I must thank you for doing such a good job on it.

The mask is sweet!

The fit is great, all I had to do was inflate the air back, and I was set.
I have never used a cateye cage before, and I love the increased visibility.

The mask is so much cooler than the Itech, and for someone who sweats buckets, that's important. I played last night, and I probably would have passed out if I had worn the Itech... seriously.

I had considered an Olie mask. I had a friend that ordered one, and last night he took a shot. He was down for 6 minutes. No shots to the mask yet, but I know I will be well protected.

My game last night was on video, the mask even looks better than I expected. The way the colors change and the way the gold cateye shines. I may not play that well, but it will at least make me look good!

Thanks again

Matty:

Just wanted to let you know that I took a shot to the mask last night. Actually, I wasn't too sure if it was a shot to the mask at the time, I just knew there one heck of a rebound off something, after I heard a very slight thud. I wasn't too sure until l looked at the mask after the game. Rubbed it with a towel, and you would never know it took a shot. If this had been my Itech, my head would have been ringing a long time.

Matt,

I did receive your call last Friday, but was unable to get to the UPS drop off in time. HOWEVER, I mailed the mask to you on Saturday via USPS--regular mail. You should have it today I would think.

And, I want to thank you for your help and support. I am sure you know how helpful you were in dropping the Husky mask at Pure Hockey in time for Collin's practice. I know how much you went out of your way to deliver it. You gave new meaning to customer service! Thanks very much. AND Collin is very pleased with the newly painted and redone mask. It looks terrific.

Alexander will be contacting you. He is in Pittsburgh Pa at a tournament. He LOVES his goalie helmet! You have made a 10 year old very happy and psyched about his season! You have an incredible talent. As a parent I am so happy to see my child so happy.
