Has anyone ever attempted the Strange Brew Hockey Trooper..? Black or White..?

Is there a knitter out there that can do Dougs "Canadian" Touque.."

Any other Props Made for the Mckenzie Brothers Movie..?
 
Now this brings back memories. I worked in the theatre business when this movie came out. I loved this movie and would duck in the theatre whenever work allowed. I'd be interested in something like this too.
Cheers,
Kevin
 
Hahahahaha, Strange Brew. My dad introduced me to this movie a while ago. One of the better low-budget 80s comedies, IMO.

I don't know about the hockey goalie masks, but the helmet is definitely a Cooper SK2000. They have 4 holes, so they're either small or medium. Large sizes have 5 holes. I know this because Tron used the same hockey helmets and I'm working on a Tron costume, LOL.
 
side note on the sk2000 helmets.

They were the helmet that a lot of the goalies that wore helmet and cages instead of masks used. They stopped being made however, and some goalies were forced to either:
a) horde the helmets if they could find them.
b) switch to masks
or c) have a replica made for them

Option c is what Dominik Hasek ended up doing, getting a fibreglass/carbon/aramid mixture made up that was otherwise a copy.

I remember around 2001, there was a call put out by a few of the NHL equipment managers asking rec leagues to please send them those cooper helmets if they had any.
