NHL teams and players honor Martin Brodeur

NHL teams, along with current and former players paid tribute to goaltender Martin Brodeur

New Jersey Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur had one of the most successful careers of any goalie who has ever played in the NHL. He holds many records. Brodeur holds the NHL records for most games played (1,266), most wins (691), most saves (28,928), shutouts (125), and most goaltender point shares (207.0). During his legendary career, Brodeur won four Vezina Trophies as the best goalie in the NHL and five William Jennings Trophies as the goalie of the team that allowed the fewest goals in the league.

Brodeur’s career will assuredly be enshrined and remembered in Toronto at the Hockey Hall of Fame. He currently serves as a front office assistant for the St. Louis Blues. On February 9th, Brodeur returned to New Jersey. Martin played for the Devils for 21 of his 22 seasons. Brodeur also played for the Blues for seven games in 2014-2015.

Martin Brodeur will have his jersey number retired by the Devils and his banner will rise to the rafters of the Prudential Center. Here’s a tribute to him that the Devils showed before the ceremony.

Brodeur has touched many careers during his life. Many sport teams and athletes tweeted out their congratulations to Brodeur, honoring the most successful goaltender in NHL history.
