Frank Brimsek

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Francis Charles Brimsek (September 26, 1913 - November 11, 1998) was an American professional ice hockey goaltender who played for the Boston Bruins and Chicago Black Hawks in the National Hockey League.

Born in Eveleth, Minnesota, Brimsek was one of the first great American hockey players. In the 1938-39 season, he was promoted to the Bruins following an injury to goaltender Tiny Thompson, also a future Hall-of-Famer. He notched 10 shutouts that season, earning him the nickname "Mr. Zero." He won the Calder Trophy as NHL Rookie of the Year, and helped the Bruins win the Stanley Cup that season, and again in 1941.

He remained with the Bruins until 1949, and played a final season with the Chicago Blackhawks. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1966 and was inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in 1973. In 1998, shortly before his death, he was ranked number 67 on The Hockey News' list of the 100 Greatest Hockey Players.

Despite the success of Thompson and Brimsek, both of whom were elected to the Hall of Fame and wore uniform number 1, the Bruins are the only one of the NHL's "Original Six" teams not to have retired the number (or, in the case of the Toronto Maple Leafs, hung banners indicating it is an "Honoured Number" while leaving it in circulation).
