Learn More about Eddie Giacomin:

Ed Giacomin was an NHL goaltender that played during the Original Six Era from 1965 when he made it to the big league to 1978.  He played for the New York Rangers and the Detroit Red Wings.

Ed Giacomin overcame many obstacles on his journey to the NHL.  As a teenager, he suffered serious burns to his hands and feet in a kitchen fire and was told he would never play hockey.  Giacomin was even more determined to prove them wrong.  He spent six seasons with the minor league Providence Red before becoming the starting goalie for the New York Rangers, an impressive feat considering there were only six starting goalie positions in the NHL at the time.

During Giacomin’s second NHL season, he led the NHL in shutouts and helped the Rangers reach the playoffs for only the second time in nine seasons.  Eddie Giacomin was the Rangers starting goaltender for nine seasons, leading the league in shutouts for three seasons.  He won the Vezina Trophy with partner Gilles Villemure in 1971.  Giacomin spent his last three years as a player with the Detroit Red Wings before retiring in 1978.  He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1987 and his number 1 jersey was retired by the Rangers in 1989.
