Gary Simmons mask review.


Gary Simmons may have lost more games than he won in the NHL, but simmons is a very colourful and interesting character. His mask, which is featured above in the picture, featured a cobra with a black background on a higgins model mask. " His mask was pretty cool." Said former California golden seals teammate Gilles Meloche. Simmons got his nickname from his minor pro days, which a reporter describes his play of that as a cobra, because he often ended up on his belly like a snake. He was also a major part of the franchise Round Table Pizza as it became a pwerhouse, unfortunately, for his NHL teams, they were nothing close to a powerhouse. " I like to tell people i was the pizza baron in cleveland and the pizza king in Los Angeles " said Simmons in a interview with a sport radio. But this mask was not his first painted one, he first painted it during hi minor pro days with the pheonix roadrunners of the old western hockey league. His mask was painted by his friend, who worked with underprivoliged native american boys. Simmons asked him if they can paint a cobra on it, and he said " Sure, why not ". Simmons managed to make his own special place in hockey in a four year career. A 5/5 star rating for a great mask.
