Ron Tugnutt is one of the most popular and richest Ice Hockey Player who was born on October 22, 1967 in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. Ronald Frederick Bradley Tugnutt, a former Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender, was born October 22, 1967. From 1987 to 2004, he was a member of the National Hockey League (NHL), and was the former president, governor, and head coach for the Central Canada Hockey League’s Kemptville-73’s.
Tugnutt was promoted to the Nordiques AHL affiliate in the middle of a inconsistent 1991-92 NHL season. He was traded to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Martin Rucinsky. Tugnutt continued in this role until he got selected by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim during the 1993 expansion draft. He shared goaltending duties in Anaheim with Guy Hebert.
Anaheim quickly settled on Hebert as their future starter, and the Montreal Canadiens decided that André Racicot and Les Kuntar were not adequately serving as Patrick Roy’s backup, so Tugnutt was acquired by the Canadiens in exchange for Stephan Lebeau. Tugnutt’s performance suffered; for Anaheim he had posted a .908 save percentage in 28 games, but for Montreal, he posted an .860 save percentage in eight games during the 1993-94 season.
During the 1994 Stanley Cup playoffs against the Bruins, Tugnutt started a game as Patrick Roy was recuperating from an appendectomy, but he did not return to the Canadiens for the 1995–96 season, and was replaced by Patrick Labrecque. These experiences caused Tugnutt to ponder retirement.
Tugnutt was a three-season player with the Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Hockey League. He won the F. W. “Dinty” Moore Trophy as the rookie with the highest goals against average. The Dave Pinkney Trophy was awarded for top team goaltending. In 1987, he was selected to the OHL All Star Team.
