Origin
and identity

Dominik Hasek made unconventional goaltending the foundation of remarkable NHL seasons and Czech Olympic gold.

Hasek's style was difficult to reduce to a textbook. His saves could look improvised, but the results made him one of his era's most influential players, not merely one of its outstanding goaltenders.

Buffalo became the setting for his greatest individual NHL honours. Nagano supplied an equally enduring international achievement in 1998, and later championships with Detroit added the Stanley Cup to a career already rich in distinction.
