Brankári amerického tímu Detroit Red Wings, Jimmy Howard a Petr Mrázek, dostali novú gólmanskú masku. Podobne, ako vlani, aj teraz budú chytať v špeciálnych vianočných prilbách. Za motívom stojí opäť švédsky umelec David Gunnarson, ktorého kreácie "zdobili" Mrázka už na Svetovom pohári.

"Vianoce úplne zbožňujem, tvoriť masku Petra Mrázka bolo skvelé. Premýšľal som, ako z masky urobiť vianočný stromček, s mnohými darčekmi pod ním. Proste totálne vianočná maska. Bolo to krásne dobrodružstvo," napísal tvorca umeleckých diel.

Helmu českého gólmana zdobí vianočný stromček a postava slávneho filmového elfa v podaní herca Willa Farrella.

I am a huge Christmas freak and it was so exciting to create and paint Petr Mrazek's special Christmas mask. I was thinking, how about transform the mask into a Christmas tree..? Loaded with christmas presents under it... It should be a total Christmas mask... I started to paint and it was a fun adventure. And a cool elf we all love also popped into the party to dance around the tree... @detroitredwings @pmraza34 #DaveArt #nhl #DaveArtCreativity @nhl #DaveArtTheGameChanger

Jimmy Howard dostal masku, ktorá je doslova na zjedenie. Pamätáte na postavičku Perníčka z rozprávky o Shrekovi?

I have had this idea for many years... wouldnt it be cool to build the whole mask in gingerbread... It would be an excellent Christmas mask. And with Jimmy Howard's Christmask mask it was time to realize my ideas into reality...‍ I started to paint...sorry, I meant I started to bake, and the mask came to life....⛄️ It was such a joy to create the Christmas masks to Detroit Red Wings, thank you for your trust in my paint❤ @detroitredwings #DaveArt #nhl #DaveArtCreativity @nhl

Sviatočné masky by mali brankárske hviezdy predstaviť už v dnešnom zápase proti Anaheimu. Následne budú vydražené a výťažok pôjde na dobrú vec. O všetko sa postará Nadácia Detroitu Red Wings.
