Ed Belfour Biography

Ed Belfour is one of the most popular and richest Hockey Player who was born on April 21, 1965 in Carman, Canada. Former NHL goaltender who retired with 484 career wins and a Stanley Cup Championship, which he earned with the Dallas Stars in 1999.

He and Brett Hull helped lead the Dallas Stars to Stanley Cup Victory in 1999.

In 2003–04, he posted a 34-19-6 record in 59 games as the Maple Leafs finished fourth overall in the conference standings. He recorded a 2.13 GAA and a .918 save percentage along with ten shutouts. On April 3 in the final game of the season, Belfour posted a 6-0 shutout over the Senators to secure home ice advantage in the opening round of the playoffs. That shutout gave him 10 on the season, setting a new personal best. In the playoffs, Belfour posted three shutouts in the opening round against the Senators, setting a record for shutout streaks in a series. However, in the second round, former teammate Jeremy Roenick eliminated the Leafs by putting a game 6 overtime goal past Belfour.

Throughout his career, Belfour has worn masks featuring an eagle on either side of his helmet. When asked why an eagle, he stated “I’ve always liked the eagle as a bird. It is a strong figure representing individuality, leadership, confidence, and outstanding vision. Its hunting and aggression are characteristics I admire, so when I was thinking of what I wanted on my mask, the eagle was a natural choice”. Belfour’s eagle has changed dramatically, from a rough Native looking style in Chicago, to a fierce competitive image in Dallas, while the background always features his current team’s colours. On the chin, there is an image of the logo for the Make-a-Wish Foundation, a charity very close to his heart, and the back plate highlights his passion for speed and restored cars. The car on the back is a 1941 Willys, along with the words Carman Racing, which is the name of Belfour’s car customization and restoration shop in Freeland, Michigan. Upon seeing Belfour’s eagle mask for the first time, Mike Keenan, his head coach when he started in the NHL, nicknamed him “The Eagle”.
