Extraordinarily brave and courageous people.

The photograph extraordinarily brave and courageous people. Great goalie NHL - Terry Sawchuk. He literally experience for yourself the brutality of the game.





Even after all the hockey goalie masks began to be used, he continued to play without protection, and first put it only in 1962. By the time his face was covered with scars, there were about four hundred.



His body was bruised and cut. It was broken shoulder joints. Repeatedly broken fingers, torn spinal discs. His tortured arthritis. As a child, Terry broke his hand, but because of the fact that later turned for help, it is not properly fused, and was shorter than the other.





As it turned out much later, standing at the gate, Terry took a pose, with a slope of about 90 degrees because of the back pain. Looking at him, it adopted many other goalkeepers as standing at the gate so that in fact it was much more convenient.



Despite the horrific injuries, Terry never gave up and always came back to the ice. Many did not even know about his problems. He had an incredible reaction and courage, and that obviously helped him to become a four-time Stanley Cup winner and four-time title of best goalkeeper in the NHL.



A total of his career was the match 1034, 447 victories in championships and an absolute record - 103 match «dry».



Once journalists have decided to conduct an experiment, calling make-up artist, so he has shown all the scars on his face, Terry, to illustrate his injuries for many years, the make-up artist was not enough for this place.
