2 NB born (Moncton and Fredericton) goalies going head to head in the NHL. That had to be a first.
|
Are there any good New Brunswick goalies?
|
LOL - well, they would be about it I think.

According to hockey reference there have been six NHL goalies from NB:
Jake Allen 434 GP 198 Wins
Roland Melanson 291 - 129
Calvin Pickard 145-50
Rick Knickle (amazing name) 14-7
Cedrick Desjardins 6-2
Bill Dickie 1-1
Roland Melanson might be the answer for best NB goaltender. He was Billy Smith's back up in the early 80s (even played more games in 1982-83 when they won the Jennings). Got his name engraved on the Cup 3 times. After leaving the island he played for the North Stars, Kings, Devils, and Habs before retiring after the 92 season.
Interestingly, out of his 23 playoffs games 10 of them were against the Oilers. He went 2-5 (the other three games were Billy Smith losses) in those games during the '81, '84, '87, and '88 playoffs.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
