SI.com has a nice collection of NHL goalies and their custom helmets. Interesting on several levels, the psychological isolation of a keeper, allowed to be ideosyncratic in this way, and second the way in which designers make use of the textures and surface of the space, coupled with the mental intensity of the area in which it is used, like ceremonial armor designed to intimidate enemies.
My favorite: Kari Lehtonen, from the Atlanta Thrashers, with his Kill Bill-themed design.
