Ed Tait from Winnipegfreepress.com is reporting:

Chris Mason will be rocking a new mask when he skates into the crease for the first time as a Winnipeg Jet.

Mason, the veteran netminder, told InGoal Magazine this week he'll be wearing a mask painted by Steve Nash of Eyecandyair that features the Jets' new logo and a tribute to heavy metal masters IRON MAIDEN.

"We went back and forth, lots of phone calls, and I sent Steve some sketches and he did some art and we mulled over a bunch of different ideas," Mason said in an interview with InGoal. "Then he came up with the Iron Maiden Eddie (the band's mascot) in the old fighter jet and I thought it was perfect. I loved the image and thought that was really appropriate for the Jets. 'm a fan of a few songs. 'Aces High' is one song I really like, so it's kind of perfect."

Iron Maiden's Eddie first appeared on the 'Aces High' (single) album cover and was originally created by one of Nash's favourite artists, Derek Riggs.

The chin on Mason's mask will feature the Jets' logo and include his number, 50, with the wings extending from the front along the sides of the headgear.

"I think it looks awesome with the maple leaf behind the jet," Mason said. "I'm a big fan of the logo, and I just love having the maple leaf on my mask, so I'm really excited about that."
