Grant Scott Fuhr (born September 28, 1962) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender in the National Hockey League (NHL) and former goaltending coach for the Arizona Coyotes, who played for the Edmonton Oilers in the 1980s during which he won the Stanley Cup five times.
He was a six-time NHL All-Star and, in 2003, was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
In 2017, Fuhr was named one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players in history.[1][2] He set a number of firsts for black ice hockey players in the NHL, including being the first to win the Stanley Cup and being the first inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.[3]
