Tony Esposito (Legendary hockey hall of fame goalie)

Tony Esposito

(Born April 23, 1943)

Tony Esposito is a legendary hockey hall of fame goalie who spent most of his career playing for the Chicago Blackhawks. He played 3 years of college hockey and 14 years of proffessional. Tony has many hero traits as well; his call to adventure was to win the stanley cup. He ended up winning the stanley cup his first year on the Canadiens, yet he only played 13 games. Tony's supernatural guide throughout his carreer was his older brother Phil Esposito, whom also played in the NHL. Tony's crossing the threshold began in 1962 when he left home to play in the USHL. His belly of the whale was when he started with the Blackhawks, he was drivin to win the Stanley cup twice. Tony's partner was his whole team, every year he played on a team. After Tony won his first Cup he was drivin as a hero's deed to be in the NHL hall of fame. As Phil left to play on other teams Tony looses his guide. Esposito's boon's were all of his pads, to make all the great saves that he did. Tony sacrificed his role when he got traded to different teams, but once he stuck with the Blackhawks, you can never betray. Tony's Elixir was his helmet. Tony had one of the first helmets as a hockey goalie, and his stood out the most.
