Mike Liut Biography

Mike Liut is one of the most popular and richest Ice Hockey Player who was born on January 7, 1956 in Weston, Ontario, Canada. Mike Liut, who has four seasons of College hockey experience and two years of professional hockey in the World Hockey Association, arrived in St. Louis and the National Hockey League ready to contribute. After playing 64 games, he became the Blues’ starting goaltender and posted a record 32-23-9. He improved and became the league’s top goaltender with a record 33-14-13 in his second season. He was voted second to Wayne Gretzky in the Hart Memorial Trophy. In recognition of his efforts, he was named a First Team All-Star. Additionally, he was awarded the Lester B. Pearson Trophy which was the league’s MVP. He was Canada’s first goaltender in 1981 Canada Cup. The final ended in an 8-1 defeat to the Soviet Union. Although he wasn’t the only one to blame, Liut would never recover his reputation as a top-tier goaltender and would not be representing Canada in any subsequent Canada Cup tournaments.

Liut was a stabilizing influence for the Whalers. In his second season, he was the NHL’s leader in shutouts with four. Liut also backed the Whalers to the Adams Division semifinals. They were defeated in overtime by the Montreal Canadiens. It was a memorable playoff series. In 1986-87, the Stanley Cup was won by the Canadiens. Liut was the leader of the Whalers’ first and only Adams Division title in 1986-87 and was named to NHL’s Second All-Star Team. In 1989-1990, he was also the Whalers’ best goal-against player.

Following his playing career, Liut joined the University of Michigan as an assistant coach in 1995 until the end of the 1997–98 season. He received a law degree in 1995, and now heads the ice hockey division at global sports management leader Octagon.

Michael Dennis Liut, a former professional ice hockey goaltender from Canada, was born January 7, 1956.

Liut was a Bowling Green State University student hockey player. The St. Louis Blues drafted him 56th in 1976 after he was named twice to the CCHA First All- Star Team. He chose to play for the Cincinnati Stingers, WHA for two more seasons. The Blues took Liut’s rights when the WHA merged into the NHL in 1979.

He was traded to the Washington Capitals late in the 1989-1990 campaign and left Hartford holding fourteen franchise goaltending records and sharing six other records. With the Capitals, Liut joined another veteran, Don Beaupre, in handling the goaltending duties and his acquisition proved important in the post season when Beaupre was felled by an injury pressing Liut into service versus the New York Rangers. Liut won three straight games, including the last two in overtime to send the Capitals to their first ever Semi-Final berth to face the Boston Bruins where they were swept out of the playoffs. His heroics versus the Rangers would prove to be his last hurrah. He spent two more seasons with the Capitals but had difficulty maintaining his workhorse status because of a failing back, an ailment that led to his retirement in 1991–92. Liut was the last active WHA goalie in the NHL upon his retirement.
