Jacques Plante was a Canadian goaltender whose career ran from 1947 to 1975 and who is regarded as one of the great innovators of the game. He starred for the Montreal Canadiens from 1953 to 1963, a period in which the club won the Stanley Cup six times, five of them in a row. He is best known as the first NHL goaltender to wear a mask in regular play. After retiring in 1965 he returned with the expansion St. Louis Blues in 1968, then played for the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins, and finished his playing days in the World Hockey Association with the Edmonton Oilers.
