JOHN VANBIESBROUCK
Team: Florida Panthers
Year: 1993-94
Mask Maker: Armadilla - Don Strauss
Painter: Don Strauss
Acquired From: Another collector

Description: This is the first Beezer Panthers mask of this amazingly iconic design. It was worn by Vanbiesbrouck during the Panther’s inaugural season and is photomatched to every photo I have found from this season. The paint job is spectacularly clean and vivid. The wear is extensive and the paint chips and marks match up nicely to photos of Beezer wearing this mask in action. I couldn’t be more excited to have this amazing mask in my collection!
