Andrei Vasilevskiy's new mask is the best for this reason
Andrei Vasilevskiy is a two time Stanley cup champion, a Vezina winner and one of the best goaltenders in the world right now. Part of the excitement of every new season is the customization of new gear. This year's design, might top every other, but not for the reason you may think.
According to Hockey Players with Animals, there's a very special tribute on Vasilevskiy�s mask that might have you in tears. You've been warned. Take a look:
Vasilevskiy recently lost his cat, who was most likely there with him through a lot. When something like that happens there's no getting over it.
Animals are family. Whether you have a cat, a dog or anything else, they are your family.
What a beautiful tribute to a beloved friend who will always be with him. No matter what happens in life or how you view hockey players this is also a good reminder that humans, no matter status all go through similar experiences.
