In case you missed the news this past weekend, former NHL goaltender Dunc Wilson passed away at age 75.
Wilson recorded the first ever shutout in Vancouver Canucks history and is largely regarded as the team's inaugural starting goaltender. After three seasons with the Canucks, Wilson moved on to his hometown Toronto Maple Leafs where he played for parts of two seasons. He bounced around the NHL a bit with the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins towards the tail end of his career, but he's mostly remembered from his time with the Canucks and the Leafs.
Earlier today the Leafs honoured Wilson with a post on social media, sharing some great photos of the iconic looking goaltender from his time with the team.

What a mask! And what a head of hair!
RIP Dunc Wilson. Gone, but never forgotten.
