"Be like Jacques"

Title (Dublin Core)

"Be like Jacques"

Description (Dublin Core)

A tweet from the official twitter account of Library and Archives Canada reminding the public that when goalies first started wearing masks (the pictured Jacques Plante was the first) they were laughed at and derided by fellow players and fans as weak. Now, however, we acknowledge hockey masks save players from disfigurement or even death at the hands of a puck, stick, or opponent's skate. LAC is pointing out the same logic applies to wearing non-medical face masks to prevent the spread of covid19.
The tweet itself reads:
"This is Jacques.
Jacques wore a mask before anyone thought it was cool. He faced ridicule and shaming, but he rose above it.
Be like Jacques. #WearAMask"
