Fleury Cam

Marc-Andre Fleury became the first goaltender to use a modern helmet cam during a professional hockey game during the 2004-2005 season, when he spent the NHL lockout playing with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL. His footage was made into a pregame video shortly thereafter.

And yes, I know he wasn't the first to EVER use one, but he WAS the first to use the MODERN helmet cam that is mounted inside of the helmet itself. The old model, mounted outside of the helmet, was used by John Vanbiesbrouck in an All Star Game, not a regular season game.

I miss those yellow pads they were so awesome

[BlitzKriege35]

Gotta love the Yellow KOHO pads. NHL needs to let a goalie do this again.

omg freakin awesome its like being in fleury's head

[Mountaineer3615]

@KingKonk95 They actually do not want the ice to be smooth, they want the ice to be rough so they can control themselves as they slide.

[imitatedsmile]

was there originally audio from the game in the video?

[woof422]

@KingKonk95 Traction I believe. I've seen our ECHL team goalie do it, and he tears up the ice where he stands every new period.

[KingKonk95]

Why do goalies do what they do at 1.30? I see all goalies do it? Is it to keep the ice smooth or something?:)

@BlitzKriege35 They still let goalies do that but Fleury was advised by a doctor while being treated for an injury that yellow is attracted to the bright color of Fleury's pads when shooting.

@arandomperson240

if you think about it the camera must be a few inches from his eyes, which can move independently of the direction that the camera is facing. so he actually follows the puck all the way to his glove for instance with his eyes, but the camera doesn't pick that up
