The Return of a Legend: Ed Cubberly Partners with LGR LeGardien Sports to Bring Iconic Goalie Masks Back to Life

In the world of goaltending, few names carry as much weight and reverence as Ed Cubberly. Known as the mastermind behind some of the most legendary goalie masks in hockey history—including the iconic shell worn by Mike Richter during the New York Rangers’ historic 1994 Stanley Cup run—Cubberly has long been synonymous with American goaltending excellence.

Now, for the first time in decades, Cubberly’s legendary craftsmanship returns to the public sphere in a bold new partnership with LGR LeGardien Sports.

The Legacy of Ed Cubberly & Mike Richter

In the early '90s, Ed Cubberly was the gold standard of mask making. When Mike Richter, the backbone of the Rangers and the pride of Madison Square Garden, needed protection between the pipes, he turned to Cubberly. The result was not just a mask—it was a piece of history.

Cubberly’s meticulous attention to detail, unique shell shape, and distinct styling became instantly recognizable on the ice. With Richter wearing a Cubberly shell, the Rangers ended a 54-year Cup drought in 1994, cementing both goalie and mask maker into the fabric of New York sports lore.

Cubberly: The Most Recognized Name in American Mask Crafting

From Long Island rinks to the bright lights of Broadway, Cubberly masks became a symbol of American-made excellence. Unlike mass-produced imports, Cubberly masks carried the soul of hand-built craftsmanship—earning respect from NHL stars, local heroes, and mask aficionados alike.

To this day, the Cubberly silhouette is considered the most recognizable shape in American goalie mask history.

A New Chapter: The LGR-Cubberly Collaboration

Today, Cubberly steps back into the spotlight, not to chase nostalgia, but to elevate his legacy into the modern era. In full creative control, Ed is working hand-in-hand with LGR LeGardien Sports to reintroduce his iconic masks—starting with the LGR-Cubberly Richter 1994 shell.

Every element of the mask reflects Cubberly’s original philosophy:

Authentic feel and weight distribution
Exact hole placements as per Ed’s original specs
Timeless curves and contours that shaped a generation
Grill and hardware positioned to perfection under his supervision

But now, it’s done with 21st-century materials: reinforced Kevlar layers, military-grade carbon fiber, and high-performance resins. The soul of the '90s with the safety and performance of today.

The Beacon of NYC, Now Offered to the World

Cubberly masks aren’t just protection—they’re symbols. They represent New York grit, American innovation, and the artistry of goaltending. For years, these shells were seen in pro locker rooms, but never within reach of the public.

Thanks to this exclusive partnership with LGR LeGardien Sports, that changes now.

Goalies, collectors, and fans worldwide can now own a true piece of history, reborn for today’s game. Whether you're suiting up to stop pucks or displaying a legendary piece of goaltending art, the Cubberly mask is back—and it’s better than ever.
