Curtis Joseph

Curtis Joseph is a Canadian former ice hockey coach and professional player. He is currently an ambassador for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Nicknamed "Cujo," Joseph was immediately recognizable on the ice for his masks featuring a snarling dog, drawing inspiration from the Stephen King novel "Cujo."

Curtis Joseph is involved with the Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy, raising funds through a yearly golf tournament with his brother. He also supports the fight against cancer through the NHL Alumni Association and supports his brother's organization, The Ham Legacy.

Throughout his NHL career, Joseph played for a number of franchises, rising to prominence during the playoffs with the St. Louis Blues, Edmonton Oilers, and Toronto Maple Leafs. He also played for the Detroit Red Wings, Phoenix Coyotes and Calgary Flames. He last played for the Maple Leafs during the 2008–09 NHL season. He was also a member of Canada's gold medal-winning team at the 2002 Winter Olympics.

Joseph retired with the most career wins (454) of any goaltender in NHL history who never played on a Stanley Cup-winning team (which has since been surpassed by Roberto Luongo and Henrik Lundqvist, although they reached the Stanley Cup Finals once where Joseph never did), and was also the first goaltender to have 30 or more wins in a regular season for five different teams. He was also the last goaltender to have played in the NHL in the 1980s.
