Custom-used goalie mask signed by New York Rangers #40 Alexandar Georgiev. Background information on this auction: Thinking about ways he could make a difference, Georgiev decided to use his platform to highlight civil rights activist, Martin Luther King Jr - who strived for equal rights for all people - by designing a custom mask and wear it during the 2019-20 postseason. Georgiev and his painter decided to paint Martin Luther King Jr on the sides, which showcase MLK's "I have a dream" speech and how it highlighted a hope that people of any race would be treated with equal respect. Georgiev supports Martin Luther King Jr's views and believes they are especially very relevant today. The rest of the mask is painted in traditional NY Rangers colors. It has Lady Liberty painted on it, representing NYC, and also feature's Georgiev's playing number and graphics from the pads which match his uniform.
