michael nylander intently watching his son play hockey in his home country while his daughters do the YMCA on either side of him really captures the duality of the nylander family that we all witness in willy’s personality day in and day out

Who else would launch themselves into the net instead of scoring?

the energy that this league puts into being the worst league is mind blowing….like doing all this for a helmet dedicated to his wife GO FALL OFF A CLIFF

cole redhorse taylor talks a bit about the design

[brandonduhaimes]

honestly i gotta say. seeing flower defy that stupid as fuck rule and wear that beautiful mask anyway means a whole fuck of a lot to me as a minnesotan, a wild fan, and a native hockey fan. there’s so little in this sport to honour or represent us without turning us into a joke or a caricature or a relic of a dead past. this is really, really meaningful and heartening to me in a really personal way.

thank you, flower. thank you, cole redhorse taylor for your beautiful work. and thank you to the team for letting him do it.

from the givesmart link:

One-of-a-kind goalie mask made specifically for and autographed by Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, and designed by Cole Redhorse Taylor, a member of the Prairie Island Indian Community.

Cole Redhorse Taylor is Mdewakantunwan Dakota, and a descendant of Chief Little Crow and his people at his historic village of Kaposia, south of downtown Saint Paul. Cole is a multidisciplinary artist, working in the fields of both "traditional" and "western" styles of art making.

Cole was inspired by Fleury's nickname "Flower" to design something that speaks in aesthetics with what is known as "Dakota Florals". He used the color palette of the Minnesota Wild's logo and uniform to dictate the colors he used. It was also important for Cole to include the written version of the Dakota language with the words "Mni Sota Makoce", which roughly translates to "Land of the Cloudy Waters". This was the traditional name of this state's geographical territory, and the Dakota language was the first language spoken on this very land that the Xcel Energy Stands on.
