Martin Brodeur Biography

Martin Brodeur, born on May 6, 1972, is a Canadian-American professional ice hockey executive and former player. He played 22 seasons in the National Hockey League, including 21 with the New Jersey Devils, winning three Stanley Cup championships and five Eastern Conference titles. Brodeur earned two Olympic gold medals with Canada, first as starting goaltender in 2002 and again as backup in 2010. In 2017, he was named one of the NHL's 100 Greatest Players and was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame the following year. He holds the NHL record for most regular season wins with 691, along with 397 losses, 125 shutouts, and 1,266 games played. Brodeur recorded at least 30 wins in twelve consecutive seasons from 1995–96 to 2007–08 and is the only goaltender with eight 40-win seasons. He used a hybrid goaltending style, standing up more than typical butterfly style players, and adapted to modern techniques later in his career.
