Gilles Gratton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gilles Gratton (born July 28, 1952 in LaSalle, Quebec, Canadian) is a retired ice hockey goaltender.

Gratton started his WHA career in 1972 with the Ottawa Nationals. He would also spend time with the Toronto Toros. In the National Hockey League, Gratton would play with the St. Louis Blues and New York Rangers. Gratton is perhaps best known for his goalie mask, which was an adaptation of his astrological sign, Leo.

Gratton told people he was reincarnated and had once been a soldier in the Spanish Inquisition. He refused to play when the moon was in the wrong part of the sky.^[1]
