Curtis Joseph

Curtis Joseph is arguably one of the most beloved Toronto Maple Leafs of all time, and not just as compared to his goaltending counterparts.

Of his 19 year career, five were spent in Toronto and he also achieved his career’s best stats while in the Maple Leafs lineup.

With 138 wins and 17 shutouts, it’s easy to see how he became an instant fan favourite. (nhl.com).

Beyond just the numbers, his personality stole the show as his passion to compete aligned with that of the fans cheering him on.

He was a leader and had a voice, which was rare for someone in his role, as he battled each and every game to make them a better team than they were without him.

As a fierce competitor, Cujo’s helmet accurately depicted who he was while he had it on. Ragged fur covering its entire face; focused eyes locking with whatever looked its way; sharp teeth anchoring its whole head; and, a mouth open just wide enough to showcase Joseph’s face between its jaws.

This mask was an instant classic.
