When his elder brother, Mark, needed to practice shooting but didn't have a goaltender, Reimer stepped in. A local minor hockey manager heard about his goaltending abilities and hired him. Because his parents were concerned if minor hockey was the perfect match for their kid, he did not participate in organized hockey until he was 12 years old. However, once he started playing, there was no looking back. He was good, so they made him play more often. Within a few years, he was one of the top goalies in the province of Ontario where all the best players lived. In 1995, when his career seemed destined for greatness, an injury ended his hopes of being drafted by a major junior team. Instead, he decided to go to university to study computer science. After graduating, he joined the Oshawa Generals of the American Hockey League and became the first goalie ever drafted by an NHL team - the Florida Panthers. The next year, the New York Islanders took him with the second overall pick in the draft. Now 30, Reimer is the starting goaltender for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He has won two Jack Adams Awards as the league's best goaltender and has been nominated three other times. His accomplishments on the ice have earned him over $50 million during his career. In February 2014, Sports Illustrated named him the greatest netminder never to win the Stanley Cup.
