Jacques Plante: The Man Who Changed the Face of Hockey
Jacques Plante was an NHL goaltender whose career lasted almost thirty years, during which he revolutionized the game. Not only was Plante the first NHL goaltender to insist on wearing a mask during a game, but he actually changed the way goalies played. He was the first goalie to play the puck, leave his crease to pass to a defenseman, and to challenge a shooter. Today, Plante’s contributions to the sport are visible with every game played. In this video, WatchMojo.com speaks with Canadian hockey expert Todd Denault – who has penned a full biography of the NHL goaltender "Jacques Plante: The Man Who Changed The Face Of Hockey" – to learn more about Plante’s contributions to the game.
