JACQUES PLANTE

Jacques Plante’s ice hockey career spanned more than 3 decades. But he was more than just a goalie for the Montreal Canadiens; he was a true pioneer in the sport. He was the NHL’s first goaltender to advocate for the use of a mask. He used one on a regular basis and experimented with many different variations.

PHIL MICKELSON

Except for the US Open, Phil Mickelson has won every major golf tournament. He has been consistently listed in the Top 50 for over 25 years, but for some reason he can’t seem to break through its barrier. He has a career high of number two in the world, which he has achieved several times.
