The first Ed Belfour appearance on the professional hockey scene was with the Canadian national men’s hockey team, but he was recalled by the Blackhawks. The next season, Belfour became the starting goalie, a career that many consider to be one of the best rookie seasons in NHL history. He received the Calder Memorial Trophy for outstanding play by a rookie, the Vezina Trophy for best goaltender, and the William M. Jennings Trophy for fewest team goals-against. He was also nominated for the Hart Memorial Trophy as the league’s most valuable player. In 1993, he again won the Vezina Trophy, and the Jenning Trophy in 1993, 1995, and 1999.
Belfour’s international career includes playing with Leksands IF in the Swedish second division, where his first professional game outside of North America was a 4-1 win over Sundsvall. Belfour had a shutout streak lasting for 251 minutes, setting the record in Leksand. His seven shutouts also broke the record for most shutouts during a season.
There was also an Ed Belfour appearance with the San Jose Sharks, Dallas Stars, the Florida Panthers, and the Toronto Maple Leafs. In February of 2002, Belfour won an Olympic gold medal with the Canadian men’s hockey team.

Ed Belfour Appearance
Although there wasn’t an Ed Belfour appearance in any of the Olympic games in Salt Lake City, he did add depth in goal to the strong Canadian team, backing up Curtis Joseph and Martin Brodeur. He did not complain about his backup role, which impressed Team Canada head coach Pat Quinn, who was also the general manager and coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs. This proves that an Ed Belfour appearance doesn’t just contribute to the team’s strength but also to the team’s overall confidence.
