Francis Charles "Mister Zero" Brimsek (September 26, 1915 — November 11, 1998) was an American professional ice hockey goaltender who played ten seasons in the National Hockey League for the Boston Bruins and Chicago Black Hawks. During his NHL career, Brimsek received numerous individual awards. He won the Calder Memorial Trophy, the Vezina Trophy twice, and he was named to the NHL All-Star Team eight times (twice on the First Team and six times on the Second Team). Brimsek also won two Stanley Cups as a member of the Bruins. During World War II, Brimsek left the NHL for two years in order to serve with the United States Coast Guard. One of the most accomplished American goalies of all-time, Brimsek held the record for most wins, and shutouts recorded by an American netminder at the time of his retirement. His wins record stood for 54 years while his shutouts record stood for 61 years. His eight berths to the NHL All-Star Team rank him second all-time among all goalies. In 1966, he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, the first American goalie to be inducted; and in 1973, he was part of the inaugural class of the United States Hockey Hall of Fame. ==Background== Brimsek was born in the hockey hotbed of Eveleth, Minnesota on September 26, 1915. His parents were of Slovene descent. The town of Eveleth produced at that time four other hockey players who would play in the National Hockey League (NHL): Mike Karakas, Sam LoPresti, Al Suomi and John Mariucci. Brimsek and Karakas played on the same baseball team in high school. Brimsek first started playing hockey when his brother, John, the second-string goalie on the Eveleth High School team, expressed his desire to be a defenseman instead. John was moved to his desired position, while Frank was slotted in the nets. Soon, Brimsek found himself spending most of his spare time on the Eveleth rinks playing hockey. Unlike most of his friends who wanted to be high-scoring forwards, Brimsek never showed any desire to play any other position except for goalie. Just before winter, Brimsek and his friends would get on a dry lot, and they would practice shooting at him. After graduating from high school, Brimsek went to play for the St. Cloud State Teachers College hockey team. He also graduated from college with a machine shop student's degree.
