Oh I’ll fully believe it originated in the sport of hockey, it’s just, the media I’ve been exposed to during my one brief human existence has caused me to associate it more with chainsaw maniacs than the sport of hockey. Even if that isn’t actually a thing either.
This is Jacques Plante, who in 1959 was the first NHL goaltender to create and use a practical mask. The design changed a little bit but you can see where it comes from.

I love that some old goalie masks are actually more horrifying than the trademark Jason mask.
They give Hannibal Lecter vibes. “This is what we make him wear so he can’t eat anyone.”
