Which Hockey Hall of Fame goaltender was nicknamed Mr. Goalie?

The Hockey Hall of Fame goaltender nicknamed “Mr. Goalie” was Glenn Hall. The Canadian star built that reputation through remarkable durability, consistency, and elite play across an 18-season NHL career.

Hall set a goaltending record by starting 502 consecutive regular-season games from 1955–56 through 1961–62; including the playoffs, his streak reached 552 games. He played much of that run without a mask, an especially striking feat by modern standards. Hall also became an early and influential practitioner of the butterfly style.

He won the Vezina Trophy three times, earned seven First-Team All-Star selections, and won the Stanley Cup with the Chicago Black Hawks in 1961. He later played for the St. Louis Blues and finished his NHL career with 84 shutouts.

Hall entered the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1975. The nickname can be confused with other famous goalies such as Terry Sawchuk, Jacques Plante, or Tony Esposito, but “Mr. Goalie” is specifically associated with Hall.
