COLUMBUS — Laurent Brossoit can't help but laugh as he recalls his very first hockey game. Safe to say it wasn't exactly a goaltending clinic that day in Vancouver.
"I was like 10. And I played one game in net and we won like, 13-12, which was good enough for me, I got the win. I’ve never cared how," the now 26-year-old Winnipeg Jet said this week.
"I couldn’t skate, so they stuck me in net for a game. My dad and three uncles, they were all goalies, my grandpa was a goalie. Whenever I watched the Canucks I was always watching Dan Cloutier, always watching the goalie.
