Former Blackhawks goalie Ed Belfour and his son, Dayn, are moving into the distilling business. And now the pair will have a nice chunk of start-up money to get things going.
Belfour, who played for the Blackhawks from 1988 to 1997, raised nearly $179,000 by selling 66 items of his own hockey memorabilia, including the gold medal he won with Canada at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games.
The gold medal fetched nearly $35,000. Other items he sold included a mask he wore with the Blackhawks ($15,307), a mask he wore with the Dallas Stars ($7,853) during their Stanley Cup season, and a replica of the Vezina Trophy he won in 1993.
