Like Gratton’s, Hayward’s Jaws-inspired design sparked a new take on the animal theme, as he was one of the first to use the mask’s face opening as the mouth of said animal. More recently, we’ve seen goalies including Al Montoya and Justin Peters use the same concept on their masks.
"There are people who are scared to go get groceries or scared to just do their day-to-day things. They have been able to wear these masks and it gives them a little bit of comfort. It makes me smile, it makes me feel good that at least they are more comfortable in this situation that we are all in. Trying to keep everyone healthy is first and foremost, for sure."
"My mom was a quilter, so growing up, the sewing machine was always around our house," Roan said. "Probably about six years ago, I was gifted my first machine. So I started to dabble in it a little bit. Then my friends started having babies and we were getting invited to baby showers. And I decided: 'Hey, why don't I start my own baby blanket business and I could make these blankets and I could make these baby accessories that would be unique to each mom-to-be and the baby that was on the way.'"
Roan's grandmother is Rachel Neff, who is the inspiration for Kayla to name her business "The Rach Place." It wasn't until recently that Kayla began producing the much-needed masks.

Because those rules can't be followed, sports in my province and in many other provinces have all been shut down. So what gives the NHL any right to come in and demand special treatment for its teams and players just so it can run through a season? Why on earth would any government acquiesce to this request when the citizens of those provinces can't live their lives in a somewhat-normal manner? Or, to be blunt once more, why is the NHL acting like a petulant child while the rest of us are being punished for not following rules?
Bettman said the projected Jan. 1 start date is still "a work in progress" that will be "influenced largely by medical experts."

Pau Gasol had tried to convince Grizzlies management to draft Marc in 2007 then, once the Lakers picked him 48th, to trade for him. When the Grizzlies exchanged Gasols seven months later, one member of Memphis' management team joked with Pau, "'We finally got [Marc], thank you, Pau!,'" the elder Gasol recalled. "I said, 'Well, that's not exactly how I envisioned it.'"
