About Ed Belfour
- Edward John Belfour (born April 21, 1965) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender. Belfour was born in Carman, Manitoba and grew up playing hockey.
- He played junior hockey for the Winkler Flyers before going to the University of North Dakota where he helped the school win the NCAA championship in the 1986–87 season.
- The following year, Belfour signed as a free agent with the Chicago Blackhawks (after not being picked in the draft) alternating time between them and the Saginaw Hawks of the International Hockey League.
- Many regard Belfour as an elite goaltender and one of the best of all-time.
- His 484 wins rank fourth all-time among NHL goaltenders.
- His son, Dayn, is also a goaltender, currently playing for the University of Nebraska-Omaha.
- Belfour was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in the 2011 class, his first year of eligibility.
- In addition Belfour is one of only two players to have won an NCAA championship, an Olympic Gold medal, and a Stanley Cup (the other such player is Neal Broten). His characteristic face mask earned him the sobriquet "Eddie the Eagle", and some of his quirks and off-ice antics earned him the nickname "Crazy Eddie".
- After wearing #30 for his tenure with the Blackhawks, Belfour switched to #20 while a member of the San Jose Sharks as a tribute to Vladislav Tretiak, his goaltending coach and mentor from the Blackhawks.
- He would wear this for the rest of his playing career.
