The Hockey Mask is a hard goalie face mask that covers the face. It is worn in the eye mask slot and guards the head.
The mask gives some protection against bites and scratches to the head. It also blocks the wind well and adds a little warmth. Its main cost is sight, since it cuts how far the wearer can see by half. It also breaks quickly once it starts taking hits.
The Hockey Mask is a rare find. It turns up in closets, pawn shops, sports stores and school gym storage rooms. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The mask stops about three of ten bites and half the scratches on the head. The Gas Mask gives the same protection. The Metal Mask, Wood Mask, Bone Mask and other crafted masks stop more, with half the bites blocked. The Hide Mask stops fewer.
The mask can sit under a helmet, since it takes the eye mask slot instead of the hat slot. A Hard Hat or a Military Helmet on top adds a second layer on the head.
For warmth it does a fair job. It blocks more than half the wind on the head and adds a little insulation. That helps on cold, windy days.
The big cost is vision. The wearer sees only half as far, so zombies close in before they are seen. Its discomfort is low, far lower than the Gas Mask.
The mask breaks fast. Each hit has a one in three chance to wear it down, and it holds only a few points of condition.
It clashes with other face and eye gear. Glasses, eye patches, breathing masks, breathing apparatus and anything that covers the full head all take its place.
Locations
The Hockey Mask is a rare find. Closets and pawn shops hold one in only a few searches out of a hundred. Sports stores and school gym storage rooms turn one up at about the same rate. Survivor safehouses carry them in dressers and wardrobes now and then. Attics hold one only very rarely.

Notes
- The mask can be worn under a helmet for extra head protection.
- Half the normal sight range makes it risky in open ground.
- It wears out quickly, so a spare is worth keeping.
- Glasses and eye patches clash with it, so a wearer who needs glasses must choose.
