Dominik Hašek (born 29 January 1965) is a Czech former ice hockey goaltender. He won six Vezina Trophies with the National Hockey League (NHL), the most under the award's current system. In 1998 he became the first goaltender to win the Hart Memorial Trophy twice. During the 1998 Winter Olympics he led the Czech national ice hockey team to its first Olympic gold medal. In 2002 Hašek became the first European-trained starting goaltender to win the Stanley Cup and set a record for shutouts in a postseason year. He was considered an unorthodox goaltender, with a distinct style that labeled him a "flopper". He holds the highest career save percentage of all time, and is the only goalie to face the most shots per 60 minutes and have the highest save percentage in the same season. Hašek was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame and is a member of the Czech Ice Hockey Hall of Fame and the IIHF Hall of Fame. His number was retired by the Buffalo Sabres and HC Pardubice.
