He played a third of his career with the Blackhawks. He went 201-138-58 with the team but never found the playoff success he’d find in Dallas. Belfour was apart of the Blackhawks team that was swept by the Penguins in 1992.
In his career, Belfour won many awards. He was a four-time Jennings Trophy winner, a three-time All-Star, he won two Vezina Trophies, he was the 1990-91 Rookie of the Year and won the Stanley Cup with Dallas in 1990-00.
In 2011, he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Belfour has made a few appearances with the Blackhawks since his retirement, including taking “One More Shift” with the Blackhawks in 2018.
Unfortunately, Belfour has found himself in trouble with the law after his NHL career. Hopefully, he can straighten everything out and keep moving positively with his life.
