Each of these Canadian-born netminders brought their own style of play and made some of pro hockey's most memorable saves, all whilesetting the bar with impressive performance standards and helping to shape modern goaltending. Theirs is a lasting legacy on a sport that plays an important part in Canadian culture-a legacy thatis celebrated with these fine silver coins.
