Arizona Coyotes: Every Goalie Mask In Coyotes’ History
By Adam Pierce
Alex Auld (2007-2008):
Alex Auld, just like David Aebischer, only played one season for the Arizona Coyotes.
Auld was in between the pipes for the Coyotes for the 2007-2008 NHL season where he played in nine games. His record for the team was a mere 3-6-0, as Auld would be traded that December. Alex had a goals against average of 3.54 and a save percentage .880. Auld did happen to post one shutout with the organization.
The Mask:
Auld’s mask shows some respect to the dry Arizona desert. The color scheme of the mask stays true to Coyote-red with hints of orange throughout. There are two white cactus plants on each side of the mask in a cartoon-style depiction. The chin of Auld’s goaltender mask displays the Arizona Coyotes logo.
What is truly unique about this gaoltending mask is the lettering that runs down toward the chin. The phrase “Virtute et Constantia” is seen towards the bottom of the mask. This is the motto for the National Order of Merit, which is a state order of the Republic of Malta. The phrase stands for “power and consistency.”
