Marty Turco played for the University of Michigan, where he would help the Wolverines win the Frozen Four twice.  He would slowly work his way up the Dallas Stars system, and in his rookie season, he played 26 Games and was the leader in Goals Against Average and Save Percentage.  However, he was still the team’s backup until his third season, when Ed Belfour signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs.  In his first full year as the Stars’ starter, he would again finish first in GAA and Save Percentage while finishing as the runner-up for the Vezina and earning a Second Team All-Star selection.  He would finish fourth and fifth in Vezina Trophy balloting the next two seasons and was a three-time All-Star over his career, which was predominantly spent in Dallas.
