Tom Barrasso is an American professional ice hockey coach and former player. Barrasso was a goaltender for 18 seasons in the National Hockey League. He was the only goaltender to ever play in the NHL directly from high school, without having played major junior, college, or some other form of professional hockey first. He was the youngest winner of the league's Vezina Trophy for best goaltender, as an 18-year-old rookie in 1984. He was also the youngest goaltender to win Calder Memorial Trophy, a record he still holds. Barrasso was a member of successive Stanley Cup championship teams in 1991 and 1992 with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Barrasso represented U.S. National Team, winning Silver at the 2002 Winter Olympics. He was inducted as a member of the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in 2009.
