dbpprop:abstract
  • Walter Edward "Turk" Broda was a former ice hockey goaltender, playing his entire career for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL). Broda was born in Brandon, Manitoba to a family of Polish descent and joined the Maple Leafs in 1936. By 1940, he had led Toronto to the Stanley Cup Finals, only to allow an overtime goal clinching the Cup by Bryan Hextall of the New York Rangers. In 1941 Broda won the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's best goaltender and was selected to the First All-Star Team. The next year, he had another great season, leading Toronto to a Stanley Cup victory and being selected to the Second All-Star Team. From 1943 to 1945 Broda left hockey to serve in the military during the Second World War. When he came back he later led Toronto to three more Stanley Cups. He won yet another Vezina Trophy in 1948 and also earned a First All-Star Team selection that year. In 1951 he won his last Stanley Cup with Toronto, retiring the next year. Broda was inducted to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1967 and died on October 17, 1972, aged only 58, after having suffered a heart attack. In 1998, he was ranked number 60 on The Hockey News' list of the 100 Greatest Hockey Players. Turk Broda's parents came from the southeastern Polish province of Podkarpackie, an area that had a mixed Polish and Ukrainian ethnic population. There is no doubt as to Turk's Polish ancestry on his father's side, as his father's name was Kazimierz Broda, which was one of the most popular Polish first names at the time. His title was "Turk" because of his strength. Predominantly Roman-Catholic, Poles gave their young males names of Roman Catholic saints, such as Kazimierz or Stanisław. Ukrainians, who were Greek Orthodox, would never give their boys these two names - they would rather name them after Greek saints, such as Vasyl, which was the most common Ukrainian name.
