Darrell May
Mid-To-Late 1980s game worn Peoria Rivermen and possibly St. Louis Blues JOFA goalie mask + Peoria Rivermen Jersey Nameplate

What you are looking at right now is a mid-to-late 1980s game worn Jofa goalie mask used by Darrell May while with the Peoria Rivermen in the IHL, and possibly with the St. Louis Blues in the NHL given the visibility of the old Blues decals still on the side of the mask. The cage was removed by the team's equipment manager to re-use on another mask as the Blues did not allocate the Rivermen the budget to get new cages. It exhibits extreme signs of wear including more salt than in a box of McDonald's fries, rust and rust stains, scratches, dings, dents, removed/replaced decal stickers and a crudely repaired crack on the top of the forehead. Also included is a nameplate that was removed off of a Peoria Rivermen game worn jersey.
 
Born on March 6, 1962, in Point Claire, Quebec, May was drafted 91st overall by the Vancouver Canucks in 1980. After concluding his junior career with the Portland Winterhawks, May turned pro with the Fort Wayne Komets of the IHL in 1982-83. After parts of two seasons in the ACHL, May helped lead the Peoria Rivermen to the 1985 Calder Cup. On October 29, 1985 it finally happened. Darrell May was given the start in goal for the St. Louis Blues vs the Washington Capitals. He stopped 17 shots in a 6-3 defeat. He then earned his first career NHL win on November 3, 1985 when he stopped 31 shots in a 4-3 overtime win over Winnipeg. After one more game played with the Blues, he was sent back down to Peoria and there he was named the IHL's Most Valuable Player that season. He was recalled by the Blues again in March 1988 and he was on their roster right until the end of April for a total of 22 games. He even appeared in three more NHL games. After two more seasons in Peoria, May retired from play. He was inducted into the Peoria Rivermen Hockey Hall of Fame in 1990 and he got back into hockey after his retirement in coaching, scouting, and managerial roles. As of 2022-23, Darrell May is currently the Head of Western Canadian Scouting for the Chicago Blackhawks in the NHL.  
 
In his NHL career, Darrell May appeared in 6 NHL games, going 1-5-0 with 1 assist, a 5.11GAA, and a 0.839% save average. He saw no playoff action.
