Jean-Sébastien "JS" Giguère (born May 16, 1977 in Montréal , Québec ) is a former Canadian ice hockey goalkeeper who played 649 games for the Hartford Whalers , Calgary Flames , Anaheim Ducks and Toronto between 1993 and 2014 Has played Maple Leafs and Colorado Avalanche in the National Hockey League . Giguère won the Stanley Cup with the Anaheim Ducks in 2007 after having been in the finals with the team four years earlier and having been awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy at the time. In 2004 he won the world title with the Canadian national team .

Career

Giguère started his career with the juniors in the Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec at the Collège Français de Verdun , but switched to the Halifax Mooseheads in 1994 after his first year in the league . During this time, the goalkeeper in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft was selected by the Hartford Whalers from the National Hockey League in the first round in 13th position. He played another two years in Halifax, but was given the opportunity to eight NHL games at the end of the 1996/97 season . In June 1997, the Whalers were relocated to Raleigh , North Carolina and played there under the name Carolina Hurricanes , which they took over the transfer rights of the Canadian.

In August 1997, Giguère was transferred to the Calgary Flames along with Andrew Cassels in exchange for Gary Roberts and Trevor Kidd . With the Flames he came to only 22 missions in two years and found himself mostly in the farm team , the Saint John Flames , in the American Hockey League . That changed when he was transferred to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in June 2000 in exchange for a second-round vote in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft . There he came to 34 games in his first year and kept over 90% of the shots on his goal. He has been one of the league's strongest goalkeepers since his performance in the fall of 2002, when he remained clean for 237 minutes and 7 seconds (three consecutive shutouts ) in the third-longest run ever recorded in modern ice hockey. The 2003 Stanley Cup playoffs brought one of the high points of his career when he reached the Stanley Cup final with the Mighty Ducks. There the goalkeeper failed because of the New Jersey Devils . Nevertheless, he was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy due to his five shutouts and the catch rate of 94.5% in the playoffs .

After another season in which the team missed the playoffs, the lockout of the 2004/05 NHL season followed . Giguère paused a few months before he accepted an offer from the Hamburg Freezers from the German Ice Hockey League in January 2005 . For this he played a total of eight games during the rest of the season. With the beginning of the 2005/06 season , the Canadian returned to Anaheim, he always had minor and major difficulties. First with the much younger substitute goalkeeper Ilja Brysgalow , who often played for a substitute goalkeeper during a season, then the Swiss goalkeeper Jonas Hiller temporarily took his regular place from him. In the 2006 Stanley Cup playoffs Brysgalow had temporarily ousted his competitor Giguère with his strong performances. Giguère only made six appearances during the play-offs. The following year, Giguère found back to old strength in the course of the playoffs and won the Stanley Cup with the Anaheim Ducks . During the playoffs Giguere was one of the best goalkeepers with 18 appearances and a goal rate of 1.97.

After taking a 19.5 million in 2003 dollars had signed doped four-year contract with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, announced Anaheim general manager Brian Burke that Giguère has signed a new four-year contract on 22 June 2007, of him during this period Guaranteed total of $ 24 million. Giguère was now clearly number one in goal for the Ducks, as Brysgalow had meanwhile been transferred to the Phoenix Coyotes . The Swiss Jonas Hiller was signed as the new substitute goalkeeper, who subsequently swapped places in the ducks' goal with Giguère.

On January 31, 2010, the Ducks transferred him to the Toronto Maple Leafs by means of a barter , in exchange Vesa Toskala and the attacker Jason Blake moved to Anaheim. Just a few hours earlier, Jonas Hiller had extended his contract with the Ducks by four years. After two seasons in Toronto, Giguère signed a two-year contract worth 2.5 million US dollars with the Colorado Avalanche on July 1, 2011 . On August 21, 2014, Giguère announced his retirement from professional sports after he had extended his expiring contract for another year in the previous year. Giguère is the last player who was still active for the Hartford Whalers .

International

Giguère was in goal for his home country at the 2002 and 2004 World Cups . While he had only been part of the squad at the 2001 World Cup in Germany , but had not played, he played a total of five of the Canadians' seven games in Sweden in 2002 . Another goalkeeper was Marty Turco , who finished sixth at the end of the tournament. Two years later, at the world championships in the Czech Republic , Giguère won the gold medal, but played only two games as a substitute for Roberto Luongo .
