Achilles' shield, forged by the Olympian god Hephaestus, was more than just a necessary instrument for battle. It was also a symbol of Greek pride and an iconic object around which the troops could rally and gain strength. The new mask of sophomore goalie Zane Kalemba serves much the same function for the men's ice hockey team.

Emblazoned with images of Hobey Baker, Albert Einstein and Nassau Hall, Kalemba's $1,200 mask is designed to be a symbol of Princeton's pride and tradition - both on and off the rink.

"On any team - professional, college, high school - every goalie has a painted mask," Kalemba said. "You want to show the pride of your team and school."
