Grant Fuhr

Grant Fuhr (b. September 28, 1962), was a goalie in the National Hockey League. In 2003, he became the first African Canadian to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

International Play

Fuhr was named to the 1984 Canada Cup team but saw limited action during the tournament. Grant was again selected to represent Canada for the 1987 Canada Cup. It was here that he cemented his reputation as the best money goaltender in the game. Playing against a tough Soviet Union squad, Fuhr turned away shot after shot during the three-game final.
