Hawks legend Belfour shares the hilarious story of his first visit to Chicago

Hockey Hall of Famer Ed Belfour is one of the game’s all-time greatest goaltenders. The Stanley Cup champion ranks third in career wins and ninth in career shutouts and is one of the most decorated goaltenders to ever strap on the pads. It didn’t start out that way though. The undrafted kid from Carman, Manitoba recently shared the hilarious story of his contract signing with the Blackhawks and recounts just what it was like to head to the big city for the first time.

Check it out:

Our favorite line from the entire story?  “I get there the next day and I just remember flying into Chicago and I’m seeing water tower after water tower after water tower and I’m like ‘Oh, my gosh’, I’m only used to one water tower!” Hilarious! 

Well, for what it’s worth the “country bumpkin” carved out a pretty good career for himself in Chicago and beyond.
