Ed Johnston
Team Canada # 1
A veteran goalie by the time the Summit Series started, Ed Johnston was a solid NHL goaltender. He had an impressive career of 16 seasons with Boston, Toronto, St. Louis and Chicago in the National Hockey League. Johnston is known as the last goaltender to play every minute of a season when he played in all 70 games for the 1963-64 Boston Bruins. His experience and goaltending skills were a nice addition to the talented Team Canada in 1972.
