Plymouth State University starting goalie Gordon Ceasar (Oak Park, CA) enters the 2014-2015 season with 16 games under his belt in the green and white. For Ceasar, he transferred from Utica College during the middle of the season, and wasn’t able to have Plymouth colors for his helmet and pads. Fast-forward to this season, and Ceasar was able to create his own design this year, thanks to designer Patrick Briand and the company that he works for, PBKreations. Briand has created a few of the goalie’s helmets over the past few years for the Panthers.
The cage that Ceasar has this season isn’t different from what he had last season, but he was able to put his number, 30 on his helmet.
The claw on this side of Ceasar’s helmet represents that of a Panther, which is PSU’s mascot. Under this claw, the “HOLLYWOOD” sign represents where Ceasar is from, as his hometown of Oak Hill, California is only about 80 miles away from Hollywood, California. Another feature that can be seen on Ceasar’s helmet are the small Panther heads that are above the claw.
Ceasar’s Palace is the nickname that the junior received last season when he made saves in net that resulted in a face-off. Chants of “Ceasar’s Palace” at Hanaway Rink wasn’t the first time that Ceasar has heard these chants, but with the crowd that shows up to the games, it was appropriate for this chant to come about.
This side of the helmet represents the “now” for Ceasar, as he has the seal of Plymouth State University under the Panther claw. Small Panther heads are also seen on this side of the helmet.
