Born: April

Sport: Ice Hockey
Position: Goalie
Nickname: Cujo
Curtis Joseph is considered one of the best goaltenders in the game. He
has a combination style of standup and butterfly. He is a clutch performer
and both a strong skater and stick handler.
His Career started at Notre Dame College in Wilcox, Saskatchewan and he
even won the Centennial Cup. Then he played for the University of Wisconsin
in the NCAA.
He was not drafted into the NHL. Instead he signed as a free agent with
the St. Louis Blues in 1989. In 1994 he played in the NHL All-Star game.
He played for the Blues until 1995.
He was then traded to the Edmonton Oilers. While there he won the Zane
Feldman Trophy twice and the Most Popular Player Award as well. He also
won the Molson Cup in 1996.
In 1998 he left the Oilers to play for the
Toronto Maple Leaves.
In 1999 he was named to play in the NHL All-Star game but could not play
due to an injury. He did play in the NHL All-Star game in 2000. Also
in 2000
he was named player of the week on February 28. Also, he won the King
Clancy Memorial Trophy in 2000.
In 2002 he signed with the Detroit Red Wings.
Also, in 2002 he was a member of the gold medal team for the Olympics
for Canada. He was back up goalie for Detroit until 2003 when the other
goalie
was
out because of injuries. He then took that top spot and succeeded.
In 2005 he moved to play for the Phoenix Coyotes. He is signed for one
year.
Cujo has had a great career as seen above. I just love to watch him play
with intensity and heart. He has kept me addicted to ice hockey and goaltending.
