Martin Brodeur #30 (Nickname(s) Marty)


Martin Pierre Brodeur; (born May 6, 1972, in Montreal, Quebec) is a professional ice hockey goaltender who has played his entire National Hockey
League career with the New Jersey Devils. In his 13-year tenure, he has led the
team to three Stanley Cup championships and has taken them to the playoffs all
but once. He holds more than thirty Devils franchise records, and assuming he
remains healthy to play at least two more seasons, he is on pace to surpass
Patrick Roy’s career records for wins,games played and minutes played, as well
as Terry Sawchuk’s record for career shutouts, and Patrick Roy’s record for
career playoff shutouts.


Brodeur has been among the NHL’s most consistent goaltenders over the past
decade, winning at least 35 games each of the last ten seasons as well as being
the only goalie in NHL history with six 40-win seasons. He is a three-time
Vezina Trophy winner, a four-time Jennings Trophy winner, a nine-time NHL All
Star, and one of only two NHL goaltenders to have scored goals in the regular
season and the playoffs. In the 2006-07 NHL season, Brodeur surpassed Sawchuk
and Ed Belfour on the all-time wins list and Glenn Hall on the all-time shutouts
list to rank 2nd in each of those categories. He also passed Bernie Parent’s
record of 47 single-season wins with his 48th win on April 5, 2007.


Brodeur is considered a hybrid style goalie, which differs from the typical
butterfly style of his native Quebec. He is best known for his great reflexes,
especially with his glove hand, his puck handling, and his strong positional
play




Personal life

Martin and Melanie Dubois (a native of
Saint-Liboire, Quebec, Canada) were married in 1995, and have four children.
Their first son Anthony was born in 1995, and the following year they had twin
sons, William and Jeremy. In 2002 they had a daughter, Annabelle Antoinette.
Melanie Brodeur filed for divorce in 2003 after it was revealed that he was
having an affair with his sister-in-law Genevieve Nault.Melanie reportedly called him before every playoff game to taunt him and tell
him who she was currently dating. The incident added some fuel to the fire for
hecklers during the playoffs. In a 2003 second round playoff matchup against the
Tampa Bay Lightning, a notable sign held up read "Tickets to a Stanley Cup
playoff game: $95. Alimony demanded from your wife: $9 million. Sex with your
sister-in-law: Priceless" in the context of the MasterCard
hockey commercials.


In his spare time, Brodeur is regarded as a brilliant chef and an engaging
raconteur.
For each of the three times that the Devils won the Stanley Cup, he has hosted a
street hockey tournament in his hometown of St. Leonard, Quebec, where
he plays his childhood position of
forward. His oldest brother Denis Jr. is a photographer like his father, and
his other older brother Claude was a pitcher in the
Montreal Expos’ farm system. Brodeur also has two sisters, Line and Sylvie.


In 2005, Brodeur started co-authoring his autobiography with long-time Toronto
Star columnist and
ESPN contributor
Damien Cox.
Entitled Brodeur: Beyond the Crease, it was released in October 2006.
Some of the things Brodeur talks about in the book are player salaries and
contracts, NHL marketing, Lou
Lamoriello and the
Devils’ new arena in Newark. Brodeur also includes his views on the "new
NHL" after the lockout, and how it affects his career.The book’s photographs were shot by Martin’s father, Denis.


Brodeur resides in West Orange, New Jersey near the Devils former practice
facility.
