Martin dreamed of playing for the Canadiens, and he idolized their goaltender Patrick Roy. Patrick Jacques Roy (ʁwa (born October 5 1965 in Sainte-Foy, Quebec, Canada is a retired Ice hockey goaltender [5]
However, Martin did not start out as a goalie himself, but rather, as a forward. His goaltending career began when his coach asked him if he wanted to play as a backup at the position in a youth tournament. Martin explained:[6]
| “ | The next season my coach came up to me and said, 'Do you want to be a goalie or forward this year?' It was the biggest decision of my life, and I was seven years old. I don't know why I decided, but I thought it would be fun to play goal. | ” |
Brodeur's play in goal soon got him noticed by fans and scouts. [7] In 1990 he made it to the Quebec Major Junior League, the same league that produced Roy, Felix Potvin and several other NHL goalies.

Brodeur now had a Stanley Cup in only his second full season in the NHL. After the victory, he was quoted as saying the following:[2]
| “ | In the last game against Detroit, the time from ten minutes left to one minute left was probably the longest nine minutes of my life. But from one to zero was probably the greatest time I've ever had. I didn't want the clock to run out. It was such a great feeling: people crying in the stands, people jumping up and down, people cheering. Guys couldn't even sit up on the bench. It was probably the best minute of my life. | ” |
After a year of success, the Devils were in the middle of the pack for most of the 1995-96 NHL season and barely missed the playoffs. The 1995–96 NHL season was the 79th Regular season of the National Hockey League.
