In all cases a stream of molten glass at its plastic temperature (1050�C-1200�C) is cut by a shearing blade to form a cylinder of glass called a gob. Both of the processes start with this gob falling by gravity and guided by troughs and chutes into the blank moulds
If you’ve always wondered how goalie masks were manufactured, then check out this interesting “How it’s Made” segment. Video after the jump.
The second one is a fiberglass mask with a cage attached in the middle. The goalie mask can also be made out of Carbon Fibre, or a Fibreglass and Kevlar mix. These masks are able to better withstand the impacts of hockey puck at higher speeds, and are generally used at major junior, college and professional levels
