Jason LaBarbera's new mask smells what The Rock is cooking (Photo)

Jason LaBarbera is an unabashed wrestling fan. In the past, he’s featured such stars as CM Punk, The Undertaker, Bret Hart, Ultimate Warrior and Shawn Michaels, among others on his mask.

"I was a huge wrestling fan growing up," LaBarbera told WWE.com in 2010. "When I was a kid, I was never allowed to get the pay-per-views. I'd always go to someone else's house. I couldn't wait for Saturdays and (Superstars of Wrestling) ... It was always part of me growing up.”

Now in the Philadelphia Flyers organization, LaBarbera has created one of the most electrifying masks in hockey by featuring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson on his latest bucket.

Created by the great Dave Gunnarsson of DaveArt, with The Rock on one side, the mask also features the Flyers logo on the other.

Some goaltenders, like Martin Brodeur, stick with one similar design for their entire career. Not LaBarbera. He likes mixing it up every season, helping to create some of the most unique masks in the game.

“I’d be bored if I wore the same mask every year. It’s fun, too, because you collect them,” he told the Arizona Coyotes website in 2009. “I have them at home on my mantle, so it’s cool.”
