VANCOUVER, BC – Patrick Roy. Martin Brodeur. Roberto Luongo. Jacques Plante.
The province of Québec has produced an abundance of elite NHL goalies through the years. It’s been dubbed a “goalie factory,” and for good reason when you consider the list above. So it makes perfect sense that Maxime Crépeau, a self-proclaimed “sports junkie” who grew up just outside of Montreal, ended up between the posts.
Even if it happened to be in a different sport.
Certainly, like most Quebecers, Crépeau was drawn to hockey and the Montreal Canadiens at a young age – he remembers playing street hockey with his friends daily.
