It's a long debate on how effective it really is, but it's similar to "can black tape fool goalies easier" debate.
White gear creates an illusion that the goalie is bigger.
And it also blends the goalie's equipment in, making it look like their's empty net to shoot at when there isn't.
On a fast play where a shooter would only get a split second to look at the net and release a shot, Roy's 5-hole looks huge.
