Lindgren's gear sticks to his traditional iceberg theme, which he has sported on all of his pads throughout his career. Thompson's pads and blocker features a wavy pattern, similar to that of Olaf Kolzig from back in the day.

The masks keep in touch with their respective themes while tying in the Screamin' Eagle, as Lindgren also has the iceberg pattern on his helmet while Thompson has a flaming skull on his, paying tribute to his favorite hometown goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff.
