A three-time Stanley Cup champion, he is the only goalie in NHL history with over 10 seasons of 30 wins or more; in 2006 he set a new mark for the most consecutive playoff starts by an NHL goalie; and in the 2006-07 season he has more wins than any goaltender in history.
The numbers speak for themselves, but what they cannot express is that Martin Brodeur is at the very heart and soul of the Devils, and one of the team's greatest leaders. On the world stage, Brodeur traced his father's steps to the Olympics and, when Canada finally ended a 50-year gold medal drought at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, it was Brodeur who stood tall in the crease.
In Brodeur: Beyond the Crease, the game's best netminder takes a candid, personal look at his career, his sport and his journey to the apex of the modern game. He shares the rich hockey heritage of his family, and reveals what it's like to be a goalie in the "new" NHL that emerged from the nearly disastrous lockout of 2004-05. He talks about being an integral part of the evolution of the New Jersey Devils, once mocked as "a Mickey Mouse organization, " into one of the game's most successful franchises, and about his unique relationship with Lou Lamoriello, the architect of the Devils' championship teams.
Brodeur also traces the highs and lows of Olympic competitions; how he prepares for game day; the best NHL shooters he's ever faced and what it was like to score a goal himself in a Stanley Cup playoff game. He reveals his thoughts and insights on being a Canadian and a Quebecer playing and living in the US; life as a father of four under the harsh spotlight of celebrity; his love of motorcycles and why, in the complicated and high-stakes would of pro sports dominated by accountants and agents, he chooses to stand alone and represent himself at contract time.
Brodeur: Beyond the Crease is a rare opportunity to understand the sport of hockey through the eyes of one of the game's most insightful athletes at the height of his abilities. With award-winning sports journalist Damien Cox, the top goalie in hockey takes us inside the game and beyond.
