Card Notes
Nicknamed “Mr. Goalie” during 12 fabulous seasons with the Chicago Black Hawks, Glenn Hall is one of hockey’s most nervous but spectacular performers. He’s often sick to his stomach before games. Hall once played 30,120 consecutive minutes for Chicago.
En Français
Surnommé “M. Gardien de But” durant ses 12 saisons sensationnelles avec les Black Hawks de Chicago, Glenn Hall est l’un des joueurs les plus nerveux mais aussi les plus spectaculaires dans la ligue. Il est souvent malade avant une partie. Recrue de l’année avec Détroit en 1955-56 et deux fois gagnant du Trophée Vézina. Hall a déjà passé 30,120 minutes consécutives sur la glace pour Chicago.
Details
Of course, the 30,120 consecutive minutes played by Glenn Hall refers to his NHL record 502 straight games played between 1955 and 1962. That is the longest streak by a goaltender and the 25th most by a player regardless of position.
1968-69 turned out to be a swansong season for Hall, sharing time in the St. Louis nets with fellow legend Jacques Plante. His eight shutouts over 41 games led the NHL while him and Plante shared the Vezina Trophy. Glenn was named a First Team All-Star for the last of seven times over his career.
In 1968-69, he was a thorn in the side of the Minnesota North Stars. Three of his eight shutouts came against the Stars. Cesare Maniago was his goaltending opponent in each of those three matches.
Between 1952-53 and 1970-71, Glenn Hall played 906 regular season and 115 playoff games in the National Hockey League with the Detroit Red Wings, Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues. He was a seven time First Team All-Star and four time Second Team All-Star. Hall won the Vezina Trophy three times and was the Calder Trophy winner in 1955-56. Glenn was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1975.
