Nashville Predators Goalie Loves Iron Maiden, Coheed and Cambria Tour + More News
Nashville Predators goalie Chris Mason is quite the Iron Maiden fan. The netminder plans to wear a new mask that pays tribute to Maiden and legendary mascot Eddie for the 2012-2013 season! For the new face protector, Mason used the cover of 1984's Powerslave as a guide. This is not his first time utilizing Ed Hunter as an inspiration. Last season, while a member of the Winnipeg Jets, he based his mask on the artwork from the 'Aces High' single art from Powerslave. That's gotta be his favorite album! We love when sports dudes show their metal side. [VH1 Classic]
