Dominik "The Dominator" Hasek began playing hockey in his home country in 1981 and was drafted in the 11th round, 207th overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in 1983. It would be unitl 1990 when Hasek would make his way to North America, playing five games in his first season. He played for Czechoslovakia in the 1991 Canada Cup and in 1992 was traded to the Buffalo Sabres for Stephan Beauregard and a 1993 4th round pick. The move to Buffalo paid dividends in the following season as Dominik Hasek became the first goalie since Bernie Parent to record a goals against average below 2.00, coming in with a stingy 1.95 GAA. Hasek also led the league in shoutouts with seven and was living up to his nickname, "The Dominator".

In the next nine years, Hasek would go on to become the Sabres' all time leader in shut-outs and became broke the mark for most games played by a European goalie in the NHL. He was a regular in the All-Star games and won his share of Vezina and Jennings trophies. Dominik Hasek's domination of the NHL culminated with him becoming only the fifth goaltender to ever win the Hart Trophy as the league's most valuable player. He accomplished that feat in 1997 as he led the Sabres to a first place finish in the North East division. The feat would be repeated the very next season as Hasek grabbed the Hart, Vezina and Jennings trifecta along with a gold medal in the Nagano Olympics, leading the Czech Republic to the podium.

Even as the Buffalo Sabres experienced a lot of success with Hasek in net, they were unable to win the Stanley Cup Championship. In 2001, Hasek would move on to the Detroit Red Wings in an effort to secure the one accolade he was lacking. He was an instant success in HockeyTown and led the Red Wings through the playoffs to a Stanley Cup Championship. Hasek retired after the win and moved back to his native Czech Republic but after taking a year off, he has made a comeback with the Detroit Red Wings in the 2003-04 season.
