'''Martin Pierre Brodeur''' ({{IPA|fr|maʁtɛ̃ bʁɔdœʁ}}; born May 6, 1972) is a Canadian–American<ref name="citizen" /> professional [[ice hockey]] executive and former player. He played 22 seasons as a [[goaltender]] in the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL), 21 of them for the [[New Jersey Devils]], with whom he won three [[Stanley Cup]] championships and five [[Eastern Conference (NHL)|Eastern Conference]] championships in 17 postseason campaigns.

Brodeur started playing hockey as a forward. His goaltending career began when his coach asked him if he wanted to play as a backup at the position in a youth tournament. Brodeur explained:<ref name="GoalieDecision">{{cite web|url=http://www.martinbrodeur.net/index.php?lng=en&vyber=fakty |title=Martin Brodeur – Facts about ...|work=MartinBrodeur.net |publisher=[[Wayback Machine]] |access-date=April 6, 2007 |year=2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070217114025/http://www.martinbrodeur.net/index.php?lng=en&vyber=fakty |archive-date=February 17, 2007}}</ref>

{{blockquote|The next season my coach came up to me and said, 'Do you want to be a goalie or forward this year?' It was the biggest decision of my life, and I was seven years old. I don't know why I decided, but I thought it would be fun to play goal.}}

When he was 12 years old, Brodeur briefly intended to stop playing hockey, after he had been removed from his team's lineup for not showing up at a game. Following a conversation with his brother Claude, though, he decided to continue playing.<ref name="always"/> When receiving goaltending instructions in his teens, Brodeur was taught a variety of different styles, ranging from [[Butterfly style|butterfly]] to stand-up, and paid attention to the technique of others playing the position. He attended a camp run by retired Soviet goaltender [[Vladislav Tretiak]], who encouraged the use of multiple methods; Brodeur believes that the concept made him "a student of the game."<ref>Brodeur and Cox, pp. 56–58.</ref> In the 1989–90 season, he made it to the [[Quebec Major Junior Hockey League|Quebec Major Junior League]].

==NHL career==

===New Jersey Devils===

====1991–1995====
In the [[1991–92 NHL season]], Brodeur spent most of his time with Saint-Hyacinthe in the QMJHL, but was called up to the NHL on an emergency basis for four games when New Jersey goaltenders [[Chris Terreri]] and [[Craig Billington]] became injured. Brodeur won his NHL debut against the [[Boston Bruins]], 4–2,<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=413372&navid=DL | title = Brodeur was a scorer before he was a goalie | publisher = [[NHL.com]] | first = Dan | last = Rosen | date = March 12, 2009 | access-date = March 17, 2009}}</ref> and played in one playoff game that season. Brodeur spent the following season with the [[Utica Devils]] of the [[American Hockey League]] (AHL). However, in the [[1993–94 NHL season|1993–94 season]], Brodeur returned to the NHL permanently and gained recognition when he won the [[Calder Memorial Trophy|Calder Trophy]], an annual award for the best rookie in the NHL.

====1995–1999====
After a year of success, the Devils were in the middle of the pack for most of the [[1995–96 NHL season|1995–96 season]] and barely missed the playoffs. Brodeur played in 74 of his team's 82 games, setting a single-season record for most minutes played by a goaltender, while having the second-most shutouts (6) in the league. He was named the starter in the [[46th National Hockey League All-Star Game|All-Star Game]] for the [[Eastern Conference (NHL)|Eastern Conference]] and stopped all 12 shots he faced.<ref name="MainBio"/> He finished fourth in voting for the [[Vezina Trophy]],<ref>{{cite web|title=1995–96 NHL Awards Voting|publisher=Hockey-Reference|url=https://www.hockey-reference.com/awards/voting-1996.html|access-date=October 3, 2016}}</ref> which is awarded to the league's top goaltender.<ref>{{cite web|title=Vezina Trophy winners|publisher=ESPN|date=June 24, 2015|url=https://www.espn.com/nhl/news/story?page=nhlvezina|access-date=October 3, 2016}}</ref> Brodeur also played on [[Canada men's national ice hockey team|Team Canada]] during the [[1996 World Cup of Hockey]], where Canada lost to the United States in the gold medal finals.<ref>{{cite web|last=Burnside|first=Scott|title=Five greatest teams in World Cup/Canada Cup history|publisher=ESPN|date=September 15, 2015|url=https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/13632109/2016-world-cup-hockey-five-greatest-teams-world-cup-canada-cup-history|access-date=October 3, 2016}}</ref>

In the [[1996–97 NHL season|1996–97 season]], the Devils finished third in the NHL.

He also had 10 shutouts and a .927 save percentage. On April 17, 1997, in the first game of a first-round playoff matchup against the Montreal Canadiens, Brodeur fired the puck the length of the ice and into the Canadiens' empty net to ensure a 5–2 victory.

In the [[1998–99 NHL season|1998–99 season]], the Devils finished first in the Eastern Conference for the third straight year, with Brodeur winning 39 games. He was among the contenders for the Vezina Trophy and started in the [[49th National Hockey League All-Star Game|All-Star game]], making his fourth appearance. However, the Devils lost in the first round to the Penguins.

They went on to play the [[Dallas Stars]] in the Stanley Cup Finals, who had a higher seed but one fewer regular season points, giving the Devils home-ice advantage in the series.

The next year, Brodeur topped the 40-win mark for the third time in his career, despite having an average GAA and save-percentage throughout the season. He played in the All-Star Game for the sixth consecutive season, and helped the Devils earn the top seed in the Eastern Conference.

====The Brodeur Rule====
[[File:NHL Hockey Rink.svg|thumb|upright=.65|The goaltender trapezoids behind each goal, added by the NHL before the 2005–06 season, were widely viewed as singling out Brodeur for his puck-handling skills.]]
After the 2004–05 lockout and before the start of the 2005–06 season, the league instituted a new rule preventing goaltenders from playing the puck behind the [[goal line (ice hockey)|goal line]], except within a [[trapezoid]]-shaped zone located behind the net. The trapezoid began at the goal line with angled lines six feet from each [[goal post]] and widened to 28 feet at the [[boards (ice hockey)|end boards]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nhlofficials.com/images/Rules001-084.pdf|title=National Hockey League Official Rules 2005–06|publisher=National Hockey League|year=2005|page=64|access-date=October 14, 2016|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070313204543/http://www.nhlofficials.com/images/Rules001-084.pdf|archive-date=March 13, 2007}}</ref> This meant that if Brodeur or any other goaltenders played the puck behind the goal line and not in the trapezoid, a two-minute minor penalty for delay of game would be assessed. Former Flyers general manager Bobby Clarke was one of the leaders in getting the trapezoid implemented. This was viewed by many as singling out Brodeur, who was one of the best at getting behind the net to handle the puck, and has come to be known as the "Brodeur Rule".<ref name="Diamos2007">{{cite news |author=Diamos |first=Jason |date=September 16, 2005 |title=New Rule Will Take a Weapon Away from Brodeur |url=https://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F10616F835550C758DDDA00894DD404482 |access-date=March 2, 2007 |work=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last= |date=September 12, 2014 |title=NHL Rule Changes for 2014-15 |url=https://scoutingtherefs.com/2014/09/4571/nhl-rule-changes-2014-15/ |access-date=December 26, 2024 |website=Scouting The Refs}}</ref>

At the 2009 NHL General Managers' Meeting, it was discussed whether the rule should be eliminated as a solution to the increasing number of injuries on defenceman who were being hit hard by forechecking forwards. The forecheckers were no longer impeded by defencemen holding them up because of the crackdown on interference, which created situations where defencemen were being hit at high speeds. Brodeur believed that revoking the trapezoid could result in more scoring and more exciting games. He explained, "If you give the liberty to the goalies to play the puck, they'll mess up more than they're successful." He also expressed his concern for defencemen, "It's a no-brainer if they want to start to eliminate these huge hits for the defencemen ... Whenever my defencemen or somebody was getting a big hit, I felt guilty that I let that guy get hit like that. Now, I've got to sit and watch all the time ... You've got to try to find something because so many guys are getting hurt." At the time of his statement, Devils defencemen [[Paul Martin (ice hockey)|Paul Martin]], [[Johnny Oduya]] and [[Bryce Salvador]] were all out with injuries.<ref name="Brodeur hopes NHL banishes trapezoid">{{cite web|last=Gulitti|first=Tom|url=http://blogs.northjersey.com/blogs/fireice/comments/brodeur_hopes_nhl_banishes_trapezoid/|title=Brodeur hopes NHL banishes trapezoid|publisher=Fire&Ice|access-date=November 10, 2009|date=November 10, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091113050802/http://blogs.northjersey.com/blogs/fireice/comments/brodeur_hopes_nhl_banishes_trapezoid|archive-date=November 13, 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Ultimately the suggestion was rejected and the rule stayed in place. Former Maple Leafs' general manager [[Brian Burke (ice hockey)|Brian Burke]] said, "We had originally approved a rule where the goaltenders couldn't handle the puck behind the net at all. The game was turning into a tennis match. You'd dump it in and the goalie would throw it out and now with the soft chip into the corner it turns into a puck battle and a forecheck opportunity, which is what we wanted."<ref name="NHL decides to keep trapezoid">{{cite web|url=http://blogs.northjersey.com/blogs/fireice/nhl_decides_to_keep_trapezoid/|title=NHL decides to keep trapezoid|publisher=Fire&Ice|access-date=November 10, 2009|year=2009|archive-date=July 14, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714195405/http://blogs.northjersey.com/blogs/fireice/nhl_decides_to_keep_trapezoid/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The idea came about after Souray was traded to play in [[Montreal]], the city in which the business now operates.<ref name="Pizzeria">{{cite web|url=http://www.martinbrodeur30.com/about_1757_en/|title=About Martin – La Pizzeria Etc.|access-date=February 26, 2009|publisher=MartinBrodeur30.com|year=2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090304024031/http://www.martinbrodeur30.com/about_1757_en/|archive-date=March 4, 2009}}</ref>

On June 30, 2013, the Devils traded for the 208th pick in the [[2013 NHL entry draft]] and Brodeur was asked to make the announcement to select his son, Anthony. In August 2015, Anthony signed with the [[Penticton Vees (junior A)|Penticton Vees]] of the [[British Columbia Hockey League]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.pentictonwesternnews.com/sports/320303881.html |title=Martin Brodeur's son Anthony joins Penticton Vees &#124; Penticton Western News |newspaper=pentictonwesternnews.com |date=August 5, 2015 |access-date=November 13, 2015}}</ref>

Fans picked Brodeur to appear on the cover of the video game ''[[NHL 14]]'', choosing him in a series of votes that included 60 players.

Brodeur is remembered for his playing style: writer Katie Strang called him "one of the most innovative [goalies] ever to play the game", due to his "superior puck-handling skills".<ref>{{cite web|last=Strang|first=Katie|title=Brodeur's legacy remains intact|publisher=ESPN|date=January 27, 2015|url=https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/12237690/nhl-martin-brodeur-carved-considerable-legacy-remains-untarnished|access-date=November 16, 2016}}</ref> [[Scott Gomez]], a former teammate of Brodeur in New Jersey, considered his goaltender to be the equivalent of an extra defenceman. A rule disallowing goaltenders from handling the puck outside a trapezoid shaped area behind the net is called "The Brodeur Rule" by some who believe his tendency to play the puck in the corners inspired the rule. His playing style proved uncommon among goaltenders of his era, as most of his competitors used a butterfly style exclusively.<ref name="unmasked"/>
