NHL Ironman Played 502 Games Maskless, Took 300 Stitches

Glenn Hall, the hockey legend known as "Mr. Goalie," has died at 94. He revolutionized the sport with his fearless play and a new technique. Hall invented the "butterfly" style. This is when a goalie drops to his knees with his pads flared out to cover the bottom of the net. Today, it is the standard method for goaltenders worldwide. His durability was legendary. Hall played in a professional-record 502 consecutive games. He achieved this streak without ever wearing a protective face mask. During his career, Hall's face received approximately 300 stitches from flying pucks and sticks. He was a seven-time First-Team All-Star and helped lead the Chicago Blackhawks to the 1961 Stanley Cup championship.
