That is a cool mask a little bio on Dan Bouchard:
Dan Bouchard - Bouchard was drafted by the Bruins in 1970, but was claimed by Atlanta in the expansion draft of 1972 and was with the Flames for their entire stay in Atlanta (
check out the awesome mask or
this one...or
this one). Bouchard moved with the team to Calgary in 1980, but just a few months into the season he was traded to the Nordiques for Jamie Hislop. The following year, he helped backstop the team past Boston and Montreal in close (and contentious) playoff series before losing in the Conference Finals to the Islanders. He spent 5 years with the Nordiques (although, tragically,
he seemed to have dropped the dope masks, although his backup John Garret
sported a cool one instead). Bouchaed was traded to the Jets before the 85 season. He played a year, then headed to play in Switzerland. But he suffered a knee injury just a few games into his Swiss career and he retired. In retirement, he moved back to Atlanta where he coaches hockey at the
Life University (yep, it apparently is a real thing). He's 3rd on the franchise goalie list for games played (225) and 2nd in wins (107).
