Giant Hockey Mask Sculpture for the Ottawa Senators

And now for something a little different!

We've been doing a wide range of sculptures over the years... everything from scaled busts and full size figures to giant foam theme props.

Several months back, the Ottawa Senators NHL team found our site and inquired about a giant hockey goalie mask to be used as a photo op in their arena. We loved the idea and here's the result.

I'd like to thank artist Mike Fontana, who handled the bulk of the fabrication. He's someone I've known for a while now and we were both hoping a project would come along where we could work together. His great work on this one makes me hope it's the first of many! (and I'm certain it is!)

The bulk of it is hardcoated styrofoam (and a lot of sanding!). The graphics were designed for the project by Robb D. (Propazoid here on the board) and a vinyl wrap gives it all a very polished look.

If you're ever in Ottawa to catch a Senators game, check out the arena's team store (known as the Sens Store) where the helmet now resides, greeting thousands of fans every game night!

If you've followed our page on facebook ( http://www.facebook.com/TomSpinaDesigns ) you've had a sneak peek at this... but here is a look at the finished piece!

The Ottawa Senators are my favourite hockey team! That is extremely cool, I just wish I lived closer so I could check it out in person.
 
Holy crap...Tom, that's awesome!

If you make it to a Sens game I'll buy you a beer at Marshy's!

Yet again, well done!:thumbsup
 
Thanks guys! And Kev, thanks for the beer offer :)

I do hope to get up that way someday (and can't imagine going to Canada and not catchin' a hockey game!)

Thanks all...

Cool! I live 5 minutes from the arena, next time I'm there I'll be sure to check this out!

Very cool. Do snap a pic if you can :)

And Eaglewood, I've sent you a PM but if anyone else has need for a theme prop like this, just drop me an email through the site...

best,
Tom
 
Nice job! I'd like to see something like that here in Philly (I work Flyers games, on the side).
