Man meets boyhood idol in competition for most treasured prize in their profession.
Martin Brodeur grew up in Montreal. In 1986, when Brodeur was 14, Patrick Roy burst onto the scene with the Canadiens. He was a goalie from Quebec, a large man with a ton of talent playing in a hockey-obsessed town. Brodeur's father Denis was the Canadiens' photographer and young goalie Martin asked for a picture of Roy to put in his room with the other players he admired. At about 16, Brodeur met Roy for the first time.
