I hope he was awarded the Vezina trophy and it wasn’t just named that after he had passed.

Player coach, Frank Boucher:
“Vézina was a pale, narrow-featured fellow, almost frail-looking, yet remarkably good with his stick. He’d pick off more shots with it than he did with his glove. He stood upright in the net and scarcely ever left his feet; he simply played all his shots in a standing position. He always wore a toque—a small, knitted hat with no brim in Montreal colours – bleu, blanc et rouge. I also remember him as the coolest man I ever saw, absolutely imperturbable. »

The first NHL goalie to record a shutout.

Trivia: in those days they never had dressing rooms so players would suit up at home and walk to arena
