Canada has relied on Quebec for decades to keep us up for goaltending.
Since 1950 when Billy Smith was born, Anglo-Canada has produced only four HHOF goaltenders.
Grant Fuhr (1962)
Mike Vernon (1963)
Ed Belfour (1965)
Carey Price (1987)
The last HHOF goalie produced in Ontario was born 74 years ago. The best since then is what, Curtis Joseph and Mike Smith?
Since that time, Quebec produced Patrick Roy, Martin Brodeur, Roberto Luongo, Marc Andre-Fleury, and Jose Theodore.
When Quebec fell off, it illuminated how weak Anglo-Canada has been for 50% of hockey's history.
Keep in mind that those 5 Anglo-Canadian HHoF goalies born since 1950 make up the highest proportion of the total number of goalies in the HHoF born since 1950.
Quebec has actually only produced 3.
The remaining 3 include 1 Czech, 1 American and 1 Swede.
There just aren't that many goalies in the HHoF.
