Heroes for hire - new lineup for the NHL?

[Pep]

Once a while back the company I work for along with other companies were invited by the company that had the wacom agency to join in a table hockey tournament. Each company got a table hockey set and players to practice with. Part of the deal was remaking your players and giving them a new design. So I convinced my colleagues in the store that we had to turn our team into super hero players. (Comic book geekdom shining through.) And we did. We spent one evening after work in the store basement donning these babies up and we had a lot of fun. My colleagues remembered slightly how the characters looked but I helped them a little with all the details so we'd get it 'just right'. haha
We did win the redesign competition....basically because we were the only company the had redesigned the players .... and we got a portable cd which was set up in the store and shoplifted about 3 weeks later. oh well, we still have the team...wich we named Heroes for hire.
Oh, and if you're wondering about the goalie, he's painted in the company's colors, complete with our logo on his back.
It was fun. First and prolly last time I did anything like this. I just thought it was fun to share and didn't really know which forum this belongs so I put it here.

[Pep]

Grrr. . .

I can't figure out who the goalie is.


He looks like a mix of Dr Fate and the Golden Age Atom.
