5 random players you forgot were on the Toronto Maple Leafs

4. Trevor Kidd

Former NHL goaltender Trevor Kidd possessed one of the more unique and memorable names in hockey history, but his performance on the ice never met expectations.

Some fans might also recall his equipment setups, which usually entailed eye-catching designs. Yet, Kidd’s equipment might have been what stood out the most about his NHL career.

After the Calgary Flames selected Kidd with the 11th overall selection at the 1990 NHL Draft, the Duglad, Manitoba native only recorded 140 career regular-season wins.

Keep in mind that the great Martin Brodeur was drafted after Kidd was selected, which didn’t help matters for No. 37’s overall status between the pipes throughout his career. Kidd spent parts of six seasons with Calgary before joining the Carolina Hurricanes in 1997-98 for two full campaigns and then three more with the Florida Panthers.

He turned out as a random NHL goaltender and a backup at best, and the chances are that fans won’t recall that Kidd dressed for the Maple Leafs from 2002-03 until the end of 2003-04. The union between Kidd and Toronto was random in itself considering the Leafs recently entailed Curtis Joseph as their starting goaltender in addition to Corey Schwab and Tom Barrasso as backups.

Kidd never earned more than six wins in a season with Toronto while serving as the backup for Ed Belfour, and posted save-percentages under the .900 benchmark in both campaigns.

Most hockey enthusiasts can recall Kidd, but likely identify him being a first-round draft pick who unfortunately never developed as a franchise netminder. By the time 2002 arrived, Kidd was one of the more random masked men to dress for an Original Six franchise in the Leafs.

The former Flames draft pick retired after the miserable 2005 NHL Lockout and spent the 2005-06 season overseas in Germany’s Deutsche Eishockey League (DEL).
