Born to be a goalie: Port Alberni’s Laurent Broissoit cherishing Stanley Cup win
In addition to being some of the best goaltenders in the recent history of the NHL, those are also the faces on posters that once graced the bedroom walls of Laurent Broissoit.On Tuesday night, as the final seconds ticked off on his Vegas Golden Knights 9-3 win over the Florida Panthers, Brossoit added his name to the Stanley Cup.
“My grandfather, three uncles and my father were all goalies. I think they all blessed me with some goaltending genetics.” “My parents, they had to sacrifice a lot of money. Hockey is not a cheap sport, goaltending especially. They sacrificed a lot of their time and money so I could play. My mom had to remortgage the house so I could keep playing.”
Though he was swapped out of his starting role in the playoffs during his eighth game due to injury, there’s no animosity to be had for the man who took his place, Comox-born Adin Hill. In fact, he finds a sense of pride in representing the small Vancouver Island communities that they come from, and paying it back to those communities they hold dear. Broissoit and Hill have remained close friends and teammates, and as he puts it, just “a couple of Vancouver Island guys.
