The new mask is amazing, the colors match my gear perfectly. Thank you so much.

Just a quick update to let you know how the mask is working out. I took a real rocket right off of my forehead this morning and felt nothing. Of course, there was the initial shock of getting hit in the head but after that, nothing at all. No ringing, no headache and the mask is still in great shape. This is turning out to be one of the best purchases that I have ever made. I love it!!!

Thanks again,
Bob

I just wanted to let you know we got the helmet and it is awesome. Gabe did a fabulous job. She's taking a goalie camp and getting tons of compliments on it. I'm glad she looks good and is very well protected. thank you so much.

I received the mask today. It was exactly what I ordered! Thanks for your time with my requests. It's now my favorite goalie gear :)

I wanted to thank everyone involved with my incredible new mask which arrived today. I appreciate all of the work and talent that went into ordering and producing it. I will send photographs for the Hackva website when I can get them. Thanks to you all! Best, Glenn


I'd rather be stopping pucks!

Hi Cindy and Gabe,

Hi All,

I’d like to let you know my kit arrived 49 minutes ago, and I am very impressed with the quality of the Simmons equipment, Usual high standard I have come to expect, and I am in love with the Hackva mask,  very very happy with the look, feel and comfort of the mask.

Looking forward to hockey practice and getting it used!!!

Thank you to all involved.

Simon

dear hackva,

I am glad to receive my goalie mask.. I cant saw how impressed with the workmanship and the comfort of my mask.

Happy New Year Cindy, Gabe and all the crew at Hackva,

These are pictures of my son, Nathan Buliga wearing his Hackva mask.  We are originally from Windsor Ontario but are now living in Braintree Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston.   I bought him his Hackva mask half way through the season last year, because prior to that he wore one of the mass produced masks with no success, the design of that mask and cage caused numerous ‘blind’ spots that would cause him to lose sight of the puck.  This season, as of this email, he has not had this problem at all and boasts a 0.88 GAA so far through 16 games which is awesome because we do not score many goals.  Being one of the few in this area wearing a Hackva mask, he really stands out as well.  It is a great mask and I highly recommend it for any goalie of any age.

Sincerely,

Chris Buliga

I just received my new Texalium Polar Bear Hackva Helmet ordered through Wesco Sports in CT and just wanted to let you know how extremely happy I am with the helmet. The finish of the helmet was very good and the polar bear paint job on top of the Texalium finish was even better making this a very sharp looking helmet, an excellent purchase in my opinion, I am glad I went with you guys instead of getting another brand. I want to thank you for doing a great job on my mask and hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas. 

Best regards,

Here is a great picture of Grant wearing his Hackva.  I know you like seeing these.  He got his for Christmas last year so he’s been wearing it for almost a year.  He really likes it and it looks great too.  The Bull on his mask was done with a custom vinyl decal on the Hackva Red Tex mask.  It looks fantastic and holds up very well too.

I went to Maritime Sports in my hometown of Moncton, NB today to buy
a new goalie mask. It was a long overdue trip as my 7 year old mask
has really seen better days after getting me through Junior Hockey
and into Beer League. 

1) im vain lol - i like  my mask to look good/look like an NHL
player would wear it (Dwayne Roloson doesn't count... he has no style lol)

2) Because I never felt comfortable in any  mask i had tried on... ever

3) Waaaay too many other brands seemed pretty cheaply made


I picked out a new Hackva and WOW...

1) Like I said i'm vain, and this mask is even better looking in
person then in the photos i had seen on the message boards

2) I swear it was made for my head, fit better then my old mask and
the sight lines were fantastic

3) For the kind of quality you guys put into these masks I would have
gladly paid triple the price... I felt so bad about paying so little
for this mask I picked up a second cage (Cat-Eye to go with the HECC
one already on the mask) and some white backplate straps just so i
could get the price over $400 lol

I'd been reading the reviews on the goalie forums for the last few
years and it was obvious everyone loves Hackva, Im just glad i wasn't
so stubborn and actually picked up a mask, held it in my hands and
tried it on...

I haven't even had to experience your legendary customer service yet,
and Im going to be a Hackva wearer for life.

Keep up the great work :)

I wanted to thank you again for all your help during my mask hunt. I ended up purchasing one of your 2608 Texalium masks and I absolutely love it! 

I've taken shots to my chin, my cage, and my forehead and felt nothing.

I must say that I'm a little baffled why other goalies say the mask is slightly on the heavy side. Feels light as a feather to me. Maybe it fits so much better than my last mask that I don't notice it. In fact I didn't have to make any pad adjustments. Took it out of the box, adjusted the straps and hit the ice. 

Now that I'm not nervous about a third concussion my confidence has grown big time and my GAA is down somewhere in the 2's (I don't keep exact records—I'm a care-free goalie). 

Thanks again! 

HACKVA ROCKS!

I took this photograph to send to Jim Craig the USA goalie in the 1980
Olympics. I worked for ABC television who covered the event in Lake
Placid. When I told him I wore his jersey he asked for a photograph
of me in my jersey and Hackva Mask and sent an autographed jersey to
go in the photograph. He is rebuilding his website and is going to
use it there.

I absolutely love this mask. I have taken shots in the head from very
close range without any ringing or injury whatsoever. It is a rather
new mask to Maine and I get a lot of great comments about it's look
and design. Congratulations on a great product and I truly appreciate
the protect and peace of mind that it provides.


I took a shot from a person who has an incredible shot but very bad

aim that dented my cage. I also want to purchase another sweatband.
Could you please tell me where I can purchase these accessories.

Best,

Glenn Michaels

Greetings,

Just passing along a photo of myself in my Hackva mask. I love the product, by the way. Looks great, easy to see out of, and very safe/comfortable. I take a puck to the face at least twice a game, and I have yet to feel any real impact behind it. Keep up the good work.

Regards,
Nick

Hi Hackva owners,

I have just recieved my painted hackva from paint shop, and thought I would let you see the final mask, as you have built a great helmet and now it has a paint job that comes close to meeting its standards!

Cindy and Gabe,

Played a couple times over the past few days. Mask is great my conditioning though wasn't too great. But I am starting to get it back. Thank you for helping me get back on the ice safely.

Glen

Great vision with the Hackva mask‏!

Rob Bissonett

I just have to say that this is one of the most comfortable masks that I have worn and wont use no other. Keep up the good work.+

Just a quick update, the Tiger Texalium mask you and your son did for me has broken in and fits absolutely perfectly. You and your team produce a beautiful product, I have had a ton of compliments on my Tiger. The other news is that for the first time in the twelve year history of my team we won the championship, I have no doubt it must have been the mask!

Thanks again, take care

Here is a picture of my helmet! I love it! You guys rock!

Liam Jackson

you guys are here to be the masters of best helmet every created!!!!

seriously i was very hesitant at first to purchase if cause it was a VERY heavy helmet, but becuase of the fact that i am a short goalie and basically when in  position my head is save level as the cross bar, as you can imagine i take alot of head shots... well of course as i started playing at a higher level the head shots got harder, and of course the play more agressive causing me to have more reason to cover the puck more agressively. so long story short... i have had this helmet for the month ( maybe a little over) and no more ringing ears... no more closing my  eyes cause i think its going to hurt... now one of my teams they call me savage cause they say when i take head shots they see me head butt them lol ( again just trying to make sure the puck is staying away from my NET and deflecting where i want to go not just standing there looking stunned!!)

so ya... i completely LOVE my helmet....and thats what you guys are here for...
the great customer service... honestly thats a SUPER great plus!!!!

We got the mask for Spencer around Christmas this year - after a couple of months of use, he really likes it.  I will say that it has been a great investment in his safety and protection.

Thanx for making a great product!

Just wanted to let you know I picked up the mask last night.  It is truly a beautiful mask...it turned out better than I had hoped.  Thank you so much for all your help throughout...you've earned a lifelong customer.

Thanks again
Matt

I've had the helmet for 2 months already and been loving it!

Thanks for making a great product!

I recieved the mask from Gary at Premier Hockey, and I absolutely love the mask!  I did forget to put texalium on my order confirmation, and you were correct in going by my (the customer's) confirmation.  But it worked out perfect, I like it so much better without the texalium.

Anyway, I just wanted to thank yourself and Gabe for answering all of my questions/concerns in such a quick fashion.  This is one of the huge differences between a company that cares about the customer/end user as compared to an Itech, Rbk, etc.  The mask quality is remarkable, paint is perfect, balance, fit, feel, comfort, vision, are all excellent.  Thank you again!


Thanks, and have a great day!
