José Theodore
José Theodore is a
Canadian professional
ice hockey player who is currently starting goaltender for the
Montreal Canadiens. In the
2001-
2002 NHL season Theodore played spectacularly, capturing the starting goaltender position from Jeff Hackett and almost single-handedly getting the team into the play-offs. In the play-offs his success continued when the Habs beat the top ranked
Boston Bruins. Theodore became an immediate fan favourite in the hockey obsessed town of
Montreal. The next season, however, Theodore faired poorly. His play was consistently mediocre or worse and the team failed to make the play-offs. Over the summer of
2003 Theodore's popularity fell dramatically after his father and brothers were arrested as part of a loan shark ring, and when Theodore was photographed fraternizing with local
Hell's Angels. Despite these problems Theodore and his team is off to a strong start in the
2003-
2004 season.
