  • (Terry) Sawchuk
    Terrance Gordon (Terry) Sawchuk Terry Sawchuk was one of the greatest goaltenders in hockey history. He played more seasons and more games, recording more wins and more shutouts than any other goalie in the history of the NHL. He played the position like a gymnast, peering out to spot the puck and dropping at lightning speed into a butterfly crouch that closed off the lower corners of the net. Terry was born on December 28, 1929, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He played his minor hockey in Winnipeg and at the age of 15 played one season in the MJHL with the Winnipeg Rangers. In 1946, he moved to Windsor, Ontario and played OHA junior hockey under coach Jimmy Skinner. Sawchuk later became the first player to win the rookie award in three professional leagues, the old U.S. Hockey League in 1947-48, the American Hockey League in 1948-49 and the NHL in 1950-51. He appeared in 971 regular season games during 21 seasons in the NHL, 734 with Detroit, 102 with Boston, 91 with Toronto, 36 with Los Angeles and eight with the New York Rangers. In regular season action, he played 953 complete games and had 2401 goals against, for an average of 2.53. He recorded his 100th shutout on March 4, 1967 when Toronto blanked the Chicago Black Hawks 3-0 and finished his career with a record 103 shutouts. Some of his greatest moments came in the 1952 Stanley Cup playoffs when he led Detroit to the Stanley Cup in the minimum eight games, collecting four shutouts and allowing only five goals for a sparkling 0.62 goals against average.

    Historica Canada Education Portal Canada's Game - The Early Years Overview This lesson plan is based on viewing the Footprint videos for Newsy Lalonde, Howie Morenz, King Clancy, Maurice Richard, Teeder Kennedy, Terry Sawchuk, Jacques Plante, Jean Béliveau and Foster Hewitt. A stick, a puck, a net. This is the game according to Ken Dryden; as Canadians, we have been weaned on it during "long northern winters uncluttered by things to do." Hockey has developed with the nation, and the country has changed with the game. These figures are the early pioneers of "Canada’s game" who cultivated a national pastime and shaped a national consciousness during the first half of the twentieth century. Aims To increase student awareness of the development of the game of hockey in Canada; to increase student recognition of the contributions made by hockey innovators; to examine their accomplishments in their historical context; to explore how hockey became Canada’s game over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; to critically investigate how hockey has influenced and been influenced by the political culture of Canada; to explore the contacts between hockey and commerce during the game’s early development; to question Canadian unease with American ownership and control of "our game." Background The history of hockey is enthralling, and so too is our earnest quest to determine the origin of Canada's game. Passions run deep in those who claim ownership of hockey's birthplace. Whatever the debates are about the origins of hockey, it is generally agreed that The Montréal Gazette recorded the first indoor exhibition of hockey in Canada on 4 March 1875 at Montréal's Victoria Skating Rink.

  • Sneak Preview
    Introduction I GREW UP IN TORONTO AND ATTENDED my first NHL game when I was seven years old. The date was December 30, 1970. It was a Wednesday night during the Christmas holidays. The Maple Leafs always seemed to play at home on Wednesdays and Saturdays when I was a kid. This night, they were playing the California Golden Seals. The Leafs won the game 3–1. I’m sure it’s no coincidence that all the players who would become my early hockey heroes did something good for the Leafs that night. Dave Keon scored just 33 seconds after the opening face-off. Garry Monahan (who auto- graphed my cast when I broke my arm in the summer of 1973) got the second. Norm Ullman set up Paul Henderson for the third. But goalie Jacques Plante became my favourite of them all. TheToronto Star reported that Plante was “excellent” that night. That’s certainly the way I remember it. “Plante had his moments …” said the Star, “and the youngsters in attendance because of the school holidays rocked the Gardens with their applause.” I was one of those youngsters! My father took me to the game that night. My parents were both sports fans. So were all my cousins, aunts and uncles. It was easy for my brothers and me to become big fans, and we certainly did. I remember being at another game with my father many years later. He looked up at the Stanley Cup banners hanging from the rafters and said, “No wonder I loved this team so much!” The Leafs had won the Cup the year my father turned seven in 1945, and then won it again in 1947, 1948, 1949, and 10 THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS 1951.

  • SAVING FACE the ART and HISTORY of the GOALIE MASK Revised Edition Contents
    JIM HYNES and GARY SMITH SAVING FACE THE ART AND HISTORY OF THE GOALIE MASK Revised Edition Contents 6 Foreword by Jonathan Quick 8 Introduction CHAPTER ONE 12 The Innovators CHAPTER TWO 42 The Golden Age CHAPTER THREE 84 Paint Jobs and Metal Bars CHAPTER FOUR 120 The Freedom of Expression 170 Index 174 Picture Credits 176 Acknowledgments Chapter Three PAINT JOBS AND METAL BARS y 1970, there were goalie masks of all types, made by several different mask Bmakers and even mask companies such as Jacques Plante’s Fibrosport. What these different masks had in common was their color, or rather their lack of it. Although a few of the older masks were still the dark, natural hue of the fiberglass they were made from, most masks were painted white... just white. A goalie who hated white changed all that by drawing ugly little black marks all over a mask made by a man who loved white. With a few strokes of his black marker, Boston’s Gerry Cheevers unknowingly started a seem- ingly irreversible trend, decorating or personalizing the goalie mask. Soon, there were different colored paints, then some simple graphics and, within a few years, goalie masks were completely transformed from plain pieces of protective equipment to colorful works of art. There were other big changes for the goalie mask in the 1970s. The so-called birdcage mask (or cage-helmet combo as it is also known) became the mask of choice for goaltenders of all ages, especially after a couple of Gerry Cheevers’ stitches mask high-profile eye injuries suffered by goalies wearing molded masks.
