Unmask this amazing collectible honouring six of the greatest Canadian goaltenders in hockey history. As a special treat, this colourful pane of six permanent domestic stamps includes a tribute to the evolution of goalie equipment.
Canadians have been influential at every position throughout hockey history, whether they be high-scoring forwards, dynamic defencemen, inspirational coaches or important administrators.
These stamps honour six of the influential Canadian-born goalies who helped change the way the position is played, rewriting the NHL record book along the way.
The six featured goalies are all award-winning legends and Stanley Cup champions with Hall of Fame credentials. They are Johnny Bower of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils, Ken Dryden and Gump Worsley of the Montreal Canadiens, Tony Esposito of the Chicago Blackhawks and Bernie Parent of the Philadelphia Flyers.
Each stamp features the player’s name and the logo of his main NHL team, along with a central colour image set against a hockey net background. Team logos sit alongside each stamp on a silvery background that includes a net motif.
Set between the the two columns of stamps is the special addition: a tribute to goaltending legend Jacques Plante. It’s a photo of the history-making mask Plante wore against the New York Rangers in 1959. Plante would become the first NHL goalie to use a mask as part of his everyday equipment.

Bernie Parent
Boston Bruins® (1965-66 to 1966-67)
Philadelphia Flyers® (1967-68 to 1970-71, 1973-74 to 1978-79)
Toronto Maple Leafs® (1970-71 to 1971-72)
Born April 3, 1945, Montréal, Que. Considered by many as the last great standup goalkeeper, Parent won the Stanley Cup, Vezina Trophy and Conn Smythe Trophy as most valuable player to his team in the playoffs in 1974 and 1975. His white Fiberglass mask with Flyers logos at each temple became iconic, making the cover of Time magazine in 1975. His mask decorations preceded the grandiose works of art that are modern-day masks. He was wearing his mask a night in February 1979 when a stick accidentally poked through its right eye hole, causing permanent damage to Parent’s vision and ending a magnificent career at age 34, while he was still in his athletic prime. Parent was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1984.
During games of street hockey in his hometown of Montréal , Bernie Parent fell in love with the challenge of stopping a puck. From that moment, a world-class goalie was born. Parent dreamed of playing in the NHL – a dream that came true when the Boston Bruins ® recruited him to play two partial seasons in 1965-66 and 1966-67. In 1967, Parent joined the newly created Philadelphia Flyers ® and, four years later, was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs ® . Not long after, he joined the troubled World Hockey Association for the 1972- 73 season before returning to the Flyers and their adoring fans. With Parent between the pipes, the Flyers, then nicknamed the “Broad Street Bullies,” were unstoppable. In 1974, the team notched its first Stanley Cup Championship, a feat it repeated the following year. In both spectacular seasons, Philly’s star goalie claimed the Vezina and Conn Smythe trophies. In 1984, Parent was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
