Felix Potvin is best known in hockey for his run with the Toronto Maple Leafs where he backstopped the franchise to some deep playoff runs in the early 1990’s. Known as “The Cat”, Potvin would go to two All-Star Games (1994 & 1997), but his best year took place in his rookie year where he was the league leader in Goals Against Average and was third in Calder Trophy and fourth in Vezina Trophy voting.
