3. John Gibson – Anaheim Ducks (Pac Duck)

Sure, Pac-Man made its debut over a decade before 21-year-old Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson was born, but 80s and 90s nostalgia is the latest trend in sports today – and you can’t fault Gibson for featuring one of the best arcade games off all time on his mask. The familiar yellow mouth character has been replaced by a Mighty Duck logo-head (more nostalgia) chomping up pac-dots. Also featured on the mask are the “ghosts” Pinky, Inky, Blinky, and Clyde. Gibson’s mask is a great mix of 80’s arcade and Mighty Ducks nostalgia.
