One of the best goaltenders in the NHL during the 2000’s, Marty Turco was a model of consistency during his career while developing an impeccable reputation as a role model off the ice. Turco holds several Dallas Stars’ all-time goaltender records, including wins (262), shutouts (40), games (509) and saves (11,420). The Sault St. Marie native set a then modern NHL record for goals-against-average in the 2002-03 season at 1.72. Turco also played for the Chicago Blackhawks and Boston Bruins in his career, retiring as a player in 2012. Turco also had a stellar college career at the University of Michigan including 2 NCAA Championships and the record for most NCAA wins with 127, which still stands today. Turco and his family returned to Dallas in 2012 and the former net-minder rejoined the Stars as a television broadcaster. He recently created the Marty Turco Foundation, focused on helping children’s charities.
