Goaltender is probably the most high profile position in all of hockey. If things are going well for a team it is often the goalie who gets much of the credit. However, if the team should falter, the goalie is also often the one held most responsible. All of the goalies featured in this book are superstars. Author Dean Spiros looks at some of the all-time great netminders such as Jacques Plante and Glenn Hall, as well as some of the stars of today, such as Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur. Also includes profiles of Ed Belfour, Ken Dryden, Tony Esposito, Grant Fuhr, Terry Sawchuk, and Billy Smith.
Martin Brodeur is a giant in the world of hockey. He is the number-one goalie in the game today, and one of the greatest goaltenders of the modern age. He has been netminder for the New Jersey Devils for 13 years, leading them to three Stanley Cup victories and winning numerous individual awards in the process, including two Vezina trophies. A three-time Olympian for Canada, Brodeur was part of the gold-medal winning team at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. He was in goal when Team Canada captured the 2004 World Cup and has been a part of every major Canadian team since he broke into the NHL in 1992. He is rated as the fourth most popular and recognizable hockey player of all time (after Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr, and Mario Lemieux). In Brodeur: Beyond the Crease, the game's best netminder takes a candid, personal look at his career, his sport, the business of hockey, the evolution of the sport, and his journey to the apex of the modern game. It is one man's detailed, unique view of the kaleidoscope of intrigue and competitive chaos that defines today's NHL, a rare opportunity to understand the sport through the eyes of one of the game's most insightful athletes at the height of his abilities. Brodeur: Beyond the Crease traces Brodeur's career, revealing how he became the best, from minor hockey through junior to the NHL and Team Canada. It examines his rich national and personal hockey heritage, and the pivotal role his father and others played in his career, as well as his thoughts and insights on: being part of the effort that turned the New Jersey Devils around from being what Wayne Gretzky called "a Mickey Mouse organization" into one of the game's most powerful and successful franchises; being in the crease in 2002 when Canada ended a 50-year gold medal drought at the Olympics; being a Canadian and a Quebecer playing and living in the US; life as a husband and father of four, his love of motorcycles, and the lifestyle of the modern athlete; pursuing greatness and sporting records; the best goalies he’s ever seen and the best NHL shooters; how he prepares for game day; what it's like to be the wealthiest man ever to play his position, and what it was like to watch $8 million in salary fly out the window during the NHL lockout of 2004-2005. In association with award-winning sports journalist Damien Cox, the top goalie in the game takes us inside the game and beyond, to reveal the man behind the mask.

Goaltenders' Union, The by Greg Oliver,Richard Kamchen Pdf
A fresh, comprehensive, and entertaining take on hockey goalies In hockey, goalies have always been a contradiction - solitary men in a team game, the last line of defence and the stalwarts expected to save the day after any and every miscue and collapse from his teammates. It's no wonder that anyone who played the position has had his sanity questioned; yet some of the biggest innovations in the game have come from its puckstoppers. In The Goaltenders' Union, Greg Oliver and Richard Kamchen talk to more than 60 keepers of yesterday and today, finding common threads to their stories, and in dozens of interviews about them with other coaches and players. From Gilles "Gratoony the Loony" Gratton, who refused to play because the moon was out of alignment with Jupiter, to Jonathan Quick, the athletically gifted master keeper of today's game, the book is an entertaining and enlightening peek behind the mask.
With thirty teams in the NHL, We Are the Goalies showcases the starting netminder of each club and provides young fans with exciting photos, a detailed history, and an introduction to each of these star players. Along with full color photos, young and eager fans will enjoy reading about their goalie heroes.
Nicholas has to play goalie for the first time - and he can't stay awake! The night before a hockey game, Nicholas agrees to fill in as goalie for his team. He has never played in net before, and spends a restless night thinking about it. That makes him so tired the next morning he can hardly eat breakfast or get into his hockey gear. When he gets to the arena, he's still so tired that he's falling asleep in goal! But miracle of miracles, every sleepy move he makes turns out to be a save! This is another delightful story brought to us by the author-illustrator team of Where's My Hockey Sweater? and Hurry Up, Nicholas! Kids will relate to the anxiety-ridden Nicholas, as he tries something new; and they will laugh out loud when he succeeds in spite of himself!
