New Mission helmet?

Here's a pic of Derek Armstrong at an informal Kings practice this morning -

It looks like it may be an Itech with a Mission logo....hmm.

Also, what kind of gloves is Demitra wearing here?

MIAs.

MIAs.

Ah, I see. Do you think that lid is an Itech with the Mission logo on it?

MIAs.

I'm still trying to figure out how Made in Canada = MIA. A friend of mine has a father who is a veteran and is not impressed with the use of that acronym as the generally accepted meaning in the US is much different.

From Mission:

...all I can say is that it will be one of the premier helmets on the market and will have some features that some of the 'other' helmets don't address.

Yep, which brings me back to my original statement that it wasn't a Itech helmet with a Mission logo on it.

We'll find out in another month or so when they start filtering out of NHL locker rooms.

I have been told that the helmet has the same back piece as the HC100(giving it a similar look), with a new front piece and new internal padding. IMO the Hc100 is a very sweet helmet adding any minor adjustments (for the better, you would hope), it would be the best helmet on the market. But thats my opion, I know other people don't like the Hc100 as much!
