For a generation, they formed a true dynasty in the National Hockey League. Having proudly followed in the footsteps of Jacques Plante and Georges Vézina, Quebec goaltenders Martin Brodeur, Patrick Roy, Marc-André Fleury, and Roberto Luongo sit atop the list of masked men with the most wins in the history of the Bettman League.
As Fleury's career draws to a close, our homegrown goalies are now an endangered species: Samuel Montembeault of the Canadiens is the only other player from La Belle Province who regularly defended a net in the world's best hockey league during the 2023-2024 season.
To inspire future generations, these goalkeepers, along with several others such as Marc Denis, Patrick Lalime, José Théodore, Jean-Sébastien Giguère, Pascal Leclaire, Jocelyn Thibault and Stéphane Fiset, recount in this book their journeys, what pushed them to put on the big leggings and wear masks that have become true works of art over the years.
