LUONGO NAMED CHAMPION!
Congratulations go out to Roberto Luongo today! Voters here at NHLToL have chosen his mask as the best in the league! The Luongo finished the final poll with a 54% of the nearly 2,000 votes.
Thanks to everyone who voted! This tournament saw the most votes cast ever on the site. I hope the next one will be as popular.
With this tournament over, I'm taking this opportunity to announce that the brand new ICETHETICS will launch on July 1. The big question I've had about this is whether the URL will change. In fact, it will so be prepared to update your bookmarks. ICETHETICS will replace NHLToL and ToHL.
NHLToL and ToHL will both remain online but will no longer be updated as of July 1. All of the concept art, jersey news, logo tournaments, and everything else you've come to expect from NHLToL will be featured on ICETHETICS. NHLToL will simply continue to serve as an archive. For now, I just wanted to make you guys aware that this change is finally coming.
And over the next couple of weeks I'll be detailing the new features you'll find at ICETHETICS, including specialized concept art galleries, an artist partnership program, more new tournaments for you to vote in, and a whole lot more. Get ready!

I think a tournament with mascots would be great, except for some of the teams that don't have one; Like my OILERS. But we do have a toungue froma mascot.
Last time I checked there weren't a 1000+ Canuck fans on the poll. And yes it is a popularity contest, there is no rules on how or why you vote the way you do so why come here and act like little children when a poll doesn't end up the way you want it. Out of all the polls so far the only one I agree with is the Habs logo and even that could have went to the Red Wings. I may have a different opinion on what is nice and what I like but I'm not so ignorant to think that my opinion is always going to be the majority. Grow up and enjoy the site for what is supposed to be.....FUN
Sabresownu, what makes your word different from Evil Patricks.If some people think Luongo's mask is better, then it's their opinion.
Isn't the islanders mascot sparky the dragon for all the sports teams in long island. I think he's cool and also the NJ Devil (the only two I've ever seen in person though).
Theres no point in arguing that this contest was biased because I am a Flyers fan and voted for Luongo and Turco every time and in the finals for Luongo more because I liked the colors and originality of it. I never posted a comment before today so there are probably other people not commenting that thought the same as me.
Well said jbiz14.
A mascot tourney would be cool. I'd probably vote for Sparky The Dragon and Slapshot.
I'm not satisfied with the poll either, but I'm not gonna whine about it. Luongo's mask isn't that good but thats my opinion. Let's all just move on and wait for the next tournament.
WHAT?! ZOMG!!!11!1!!! It's actually possible for someone's vote to be UNpopular/!?>!?!!
**smacks face in shock and horror**
Tim Thomas didn't win and since I'm a Bruins fan, that MUST mean it's a conspiracy, instead of ... ZOMG!!! ... a bunch of other people's opinions out in the world!!!!
**cries**
With that said, congratulations to Luongo -- at least he won SOMETHING.
Having his nose serve as the lower extremities for a lumberjack makes this the best goalie mask? I know there are a lot of Canucks fans that visit this site, but c'mon, does anyone seriously believe this is a fair and accurate representation of the best goalie mask out there? The Canucks have one of the worst uniforms and this mask is hideous.
of course this tournament was purely popularity.

Well, at least we weren't voting on NFL helmet designs.
how about you put all the goalies that got beat in the tournament on the right side of the site, and we vote for the best one, and that one faces off against Luongo to see who wins.
Just a suggestion
