Martin Brodeur

One of the best goaltenders of all time, Martin's Xbox 360 faceplate is inspired by his team pride and his deep love of hockey.

Born in Montreal, QC in 1972, Martin Brodeur's success began with his father Denis, who was a goaltender on Canada's 1956 Olympic team, winners of the bronze medal at the Cortina Olympics in Italy. Martin was doubly blessed by his father, for not only had Denis been a goalie, he was also the longtime photographer of the Montreal Canadiens. Martin has often said he dreamed of playing for the Habs like his hero Patrick Roy. "He was a young guy from Montreal, like me." Brodeur explained. "I idolized him because he came in to professional hockey so young and showed he could do the job. He made me see the possibility of doing it myself."

On the international stage, Brodeur has is a two-time member of Canada's World Cup team (1996 and 2004), a two-time member of Canada's World Championship team (1996 and 2005) and a three-time member of Canada's Olympic men's hockey team (1998, 2002 and most recently 2006 in Torino).
