Put your knowledge of goalies to the test with hundreds of intriguing multiple-choice trivia questions and an assortment of memory-jogging games and puzzles. Discover the identity of the only goalie to captain a Stanley Cup winner, the first netminder to have his number retired by an NHL team, the modern-day puck stopper who talks to his goal posts, and the greatest number of shots faced by a goalkeeper in a single game. It's all here in nine chapters arranged by theme about hockey's greatest knights of the net, from old-timers like Turk Broda, Terry Sawchuck, and Glen Hall to such modern-day masked marvels as Dominik Hasek, Ed Belfour, and Patrick Roy. Answers: Chuck Gardiner; Bernie Parent; Patrick Roy; 83. The author lives in Montreal, Quebec. 128 pages, 4 b/w illus., 5 1/2 x 8 1/2.

Weird facts galore!,

This review is from: Puck Stoppin' Trivia: Great Goalies Galore! (Paperback)
After you purchase this product, leaf through the pages. You'll find some well known and some obscure facts about some of the NHL's greatest goalies of all-time.For instance, did you know that current Anaheim Ducks goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere uses a straw when he drinks from his water bottle during a game? I'll bet you didn't know that Ron Low of the then expansion Washington Capitals was responsible for allowing the most goals in one NHL season. Where were you on December 2, 1950 when Al Rollins and Turk Broda of the Toronto Maple Leafs became the first NHL goalies to share a shutout in one game for their team? If you're a trivia junkie like me, this book is for you.
