Kasimir Kaskisuo has been a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs organization since the 2015-16 season, but he hasn’t gotten the opportunity to spend a full season with one team since turning pro.

Since joining the Maple Leafs in 2015-16, the Vantaa, Finland native has spent time with both the AHL’s Toronto Marlies and the ECHL’s Orlando Solar Bears, and he even got a quick stint with the Chicago Wolves after he was loaned out. However, this year he’s hoping to spend the whole season with the Marlies if he doesn’t get any time with the NHL club and he’s got a new mask for the season.

Welcome Kasimir Kaskisuo to the DaveArt Family🙏🏻😊! I am so happy and thankful to be your painter. Kasimir had such a cool idea for his new bucket, he wanted it to be a tribute to his rock idols, I made subtle sketches of them, can you find them on the mask✍🏻? The rest is a classic TO design with the leaf in focus🍁, created in a metallic rock style...👊🏻🥁🤘🏻🎸... Thank you Kasimir for your trust in me! 🙏🏻 @kaskisuo @mapleleafs @nhl @torontomarlies @theahl @daveart #nhl #kaskisuo #goaliemask #thankful #art #DaveArtThePaintNerd 🤓

Designed by famous NHL goalie mask artist David Gunnarsson, the 25-year-old’s new Toronto themed mask features both the Marlies and the Leafs’ logo, but also includes his favourite musicians on each side.
