Curtis Shayne "CuJo" Joseph (born Curtis Munro; April 29, 1967) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender. He last played for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League during the 2008–09 NHL season.〔(Sportsnet signings )〕 Joseph is immediately recognizable on the ice for his masks featuring a snarling dog, drawing inspiration from the Stephen King novel ''Cujo'', which also happens to be his nickname, derived from the first two letters of his first and last names. Throughout his NHL career, Joseph played for a number of franchises, rising to prominence during the playoffs with the St. Louis Blues, Edmonton Oilers, and Toronto Maple Leafs. He has also played for the Detroit Red Wings, Phoenix Coyotes and Calgary Flames. He was also a member of Canada's gold medal winning team at the 2002 Winter Olympics. Joseph has the most career wins (454) of any goaltender in NHL history who never played on a Stanley Cup-winning team, and also the first goaltender to have 30 or more wins in a regular season for five different teams. ==Early life== Joseph was born on April 29, 1967〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher =Hockey db.com the Internet Hockey database )〕 to unmarried teenage parents.〔 Five days after his birth, his mother, Wendy Munro, placed him for adoption with Jeanne Joseph, a nurse who had befriended her during her hospital stay, and her husband Harold Joseph. Jeanne and her husband decided to name the baby Curtis after his birth father Curtis Nickle. Curtis grew up with an older stepbrother Grant and a stepbrother Victor; he also has three older stepsisters and a step brother from a previous marriage. The family was of mixed race with Harold and Victor being black. It was not until he signed with the St. Louis Blues that Joseph legally changed his name from Curtis Shayne Munro to Curtis Shayne Joseph.〔 For the majority of his childhood, Curtis was raised in East Gwillimbury (community of Sharon). He initially attended Whitchurch Highlands Public School and then Huron Heights Secondary School. Curtis grew up playing hockey for the East Gwillimbury Eagles of the OMHA until moving west to play for his high school team, Notre Dame College (Wilcox, Saskatchewan)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Curtis Joseph )〕 Although he led the Notre Dame Hounds to the Centennial Cup in 1987-88, and he played for the University of Wisconsin–Madison of the NCAA, he was undrafted by the NHL.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Curtis Joseph—Biography )〕 He signed as a free agent with the Blues in 1989. In 1989–90 season he played 23 games with the Peoria Rivermen in the IHL. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Curtis Joseph」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
