At 6-foot-7, Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop has understandably been given the nickname 'Big Ben.'

As the Vezina Trophy finalist looks to next season, he's had a new mask made with the iconic British clock tower with the same name painted on the side (via InGoal Magazine).

"The side logos also have Big Ben clock ghosted in with a sweet liquid metal paint applied over it so at different angles it really shimmers," said mask painter Jason Livery. "All in all it was a super fun mask to paint.”

Bishop will be working towards coming back from wrist surgery in the offseason, and can be assured that he'll have an impressive new mask to show off in 2014-15.
