Turk Broda

Turk Broda
A very popular player in Maple Leaf folklore, Turk Broda was a two time Vezina Award winner who was in the pipes for five Stanley Cups in Toronto. Broda was a clutch performer who posted a career sub 2.0 GAA in the playoffs which was a half goal lower than his already respectable regular season average.

For a stretch of time, Turk may have been known more for issues that he had with his weight of which received substantial press in the local media. It never seemed to affect his play, and Broda remained a dependable performer for Toronto, which is where he would stay for his entire professional career.
