Gilles Gratton:  "Hockey's Most Eccentric Goalie"

9/27/2021

0 Comments

 

The Hockey world hasn’t produced a more fascinating character than WHA and NHL goaltender Gilles “Loony” Gratton. 

Gratton never really wanted to be a professional goaltender; he wanted to be a Tibetan monk.  And he’d eventually quit hockey to seek enlightenment. 

But Gratton’s path from playing big league hockey to finding spiritual wisdom was a raucous one marked by sex, drugs and rock/roll, overshadowing his unique talent that made him one of hockey’s most promising young goaltenders. 

Here’s the story of the man behind the iconic goalie mask.  The eccentric oddball who hated hockey --  but became one the game’s most memorable characters.
