Jacques Plante’s first mask

On 29 September 1959, while playing for the Montreal Canadians, goalie Jacques Plante wore the first mask to protect his face in a National Hockey League game. Not only did the mask help him continue his career, it sparked a new style of goalie masks and shaped the way hockey is played today. Plante would knit his own padding because he felt it calmed him down and relaxed him.

Plante had practiced with the mask he made, yet his coach was against him playing with it on. After being struck by a puck a couple minutes into the game— tearing open his upper lip—Plante took action and announced he was not going back in the game without wearing his mask. Montreal went on the win that game 3 to 1.

William Lee invented the first knitting machine during the 1600s in England. Lee was annoyed with hearing his wife’s knitting needles clash together. He took a machine used to make rugs and modified it for knitting. Lee wanted his invention to be patented so he could make money, but the queen denied him of his request.
