Description
Hard work and an acrobatic style--that's what makes Curtis Joseph one of the best clutch goalies in the NHL. Since joining the league as a walk-on free agent in 1989, Joseph has earned the respect of fellow players and fans and made the Maple Leafs a major Stanley Cup contender. In the words of Leafs coach Pat Quinn, "I've never seen another goalie who could pick up his team with a big save." In simple, enjoyable text and dozens of exciting action photos, follow the career of this talented netminder from his early days with the St. Louis Blues and Edmonton Oilers, and with Canada's national team. You'll understand why he has become one the NHL's most highly paid and admired goalies.
