Hard work and an acrobatic style have made Curtis Joseph one of the best clutch goalies in the NHL. Curtis Joseph is an unusual goaltender, who proves that you don’t have to be like everyone else to win. Until he was ii years old, the man behind the mad-dog mask hadn’t even strapped on a pair of skates. Now he makes more saves than any other netminder in the National Hockey League. Fans love his acrobatic, street-hockey style. Snipers fear it. Only Cujo can throw himself at the puck, look like he’s losing his balance, and then stop a shot cold—game after game. After winning the King Clancy Trophy for his charity work with children, Curtis is now in the hunt for his first Stanley Cup.
