Growing up, sports was my outlet, my way to portray a personality. I was very shy around people but, through sports, something I was good at, I was able to make friends. – Curtis Joseph
I’ve got a lot to look forward to. I’m trying to be the best father I can, and that’s a pretty important role. Some would say it’s more important than stopping pucks. – Curtis Joseph
Hopefully, my teammates will say that I was important and that I gave it everything and I didn’t leave anything to chance my whole career. To be mentioned as Hall-worthy is a great thing. – Curtis Joseph
I love my hockey, but if you can do that and go home and just be a dad and husband, then you have the best of both worlds. – Curtis Joseph
You change your mind-set, and as long as you’ve got a good mind-set, you’ll know everything is good. – Curtis Joseph
Any time you’re mentioned in the same breath as Tony Esposito, for whatever reason, it’s a great honor. He’s one of my idols. He’s one of the greatest of all time. – Curtis Joseph
No matter how many years you play, it’s always something new and exciting. It’s sports, you never know what may happen. – Curtis Joseph
They say everything you go through in your childhood builds character and inner strength. – Curtis Joseph
I like to try to give something back to the community because I feel fortunate for how I was raised and how my life turned out. Each year, with the help of my brother, Grant, we run a charity golf tournament to raise money for the Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy. – Curtis Joseph
Like most parents, I want everything for my kids that I didn’t have. But I don’t intend to spoil them. I just enjoy everything that comes naturally with parenthood. – Curtis Joseph
Wins are the most important measure for goalies, I think. Certainly it’s a great accomplishment. – Curtis Joseph
I think that when you are in the limelight it is part of your obligation to be a good role model. A lot of kids look up to you, and you are given a God-given talent, so it is your responsibility. It isn’t hard to deal with. I never have to think twice about doing anything. – Curtis Joseph
Anytime you’ve played in a place and you get a win against your old team, it feels good. – Curtis Joseph
There’s no way I would have thought I would have had the career that I did and the longevity. Absolutely no idea. – Curtis Joseph
Leaf fans loyalty is unshakeable. The fans keep coming back and it hurts, I have been there. I have lost in game six to go to the finals with the Maple Leafs, against Carolina and what a great final that would have been. – Curtis Joseph
