#5 – GOALTENDER, MARTY TURCO

The downright greatest goaltender in franchise history and a true, unadulterated character, Marty Turco‘s time in Dallas was astonishing. The former three-time All-Star leads Stars goalies in practically every significant netminding measurement.

A fifth-round pick in the 1994 Draft, Turco serves as yet another later round steal for the Stars. Getting a nine-year starter like Turco was not what anyone expected when this pick was taken.

First in wins (262), first in total saves (11,420), first in ice time (over 29,000 minutes), first in shutouts (40), etcetera, Marty Turco is everything the Stars needed in the crease; a fearless, exciting goaltender with competitive skills like no other.

The University of Michigan product tallied 30 or more wins as a Star in six consecutive seasons, earning a top-five Vezina Trophy finish three times. Turco also garnered top-20 placings in the Hart Trophy voting thrice as a Dallas netminder. The only goalie in Stars history with more than 400 appearances (509), Turco’s all-time record of 262-154-26-40 is also a franchise best.

Turco retired after one year with Chicago in which he earned 11 wins, and another with Boston that featured two wins in five games. The Sault St. Marie, Ontario native is now a member of the Dallas Stars Alumni team.
