With a nod to the Indigenous roots of the west coast, new Vancouver Canucks goaltender Braden Holtby has unveiled his new mask.
The mask appeared on artist and long-time mask painter David Gunnarson’s Instagram with the mask featuring a thunderbird.
The design is circled around “the myth of the thunderbird, a Canadian northwest coast myth. The huge thunderbird is flying over the mountains to the ocean to catch orcas with his huge claws. A totally perfect story to create on a Canucks mask.”
You can check out more information about the mask on Gunnarson’s Instagram.
