Joseph Jacques Omer Plante ( January 17, 1929 – February 27, 1986 ) was a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender.

Plante retired in 1965 but was persuaded to return to the National Hockey League to play for the expansion St. Louis Blues in 1968.

Plante was the first NHL goaltender to wear a goaltender mask in regulation play on a regular basis.

Plante was the first goaltender to regularly play the puck outside his crease in support of his team's defencemen, and he often instructed his teammates from behind the play.

Plante was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1978, was chosen as the goaltender of the Canadiens ' " dream team " in 1985, and was inducted into the Quebec Sports Pantheon in 1994.

When he was five years old, Plante fell off a ladder and broke his hand.

He was watching his school's team practice, when the coach ordered the goaltender off the ice after a heated argument over his play, and Plante asked to replace him.

The coach permitted him to play since there was no other available goaltender ; it was quickly apparent that Plante could hold his own, despite the other players being many years older than he was.

Two years later, Plante was playing for five different teams-the local factory team, and teams in the midget, juvenile, junior and intermediate categories.

Afterwards, Plante began to receive various offers from other teams ; he was offered $ 80 per week — a considerable sum in those days — to play for a team in England, and a similar offer to play for the Providence Reds of the American Hockey League.

When Plante returned to the ice, he was wearing a mask.
