Our long and arduous work in progress of ranking the top fifty players for every North American sorts team is underway, but after that is completed we will then take a look how each franchise honors their own in terms of respective franchise halls of fame, ring of honors, retired numbers and statues.
As such it is noteworthy to us that on February 9 on the New Jersey Devils’ home game against the Edmonton Oilers that the franchise will officially retire the number of Martin Brodeur’s #30 and officially unveil a statue in his honor.
For anyone aware of the history of the New Jersey Devils, it is next to impossible to debate that the Goaltender is not the most important member of the New Jersey Devils in the team’s history.
While playing with New Jersey, Martin Brodeur would take the Devils to three Stanley Cups, would win the Vezina Trophy four times, the William M. Jennings Award five times, the Calder Trophy and was named a First Team All Star three times and a Second Team All Star four times. Brodeur would also lead the NHL in Goals Against Average once, and Wins nine times. He is also the all-time leader in that category and will be a first ballot Hockey Hall of Fame inductee.
We would like to congratulate Martin Brodeur and the New Jersey Devils at this time.
Martin Brodeur to have his number retired but the Devils
