This is a list of 213 goalies who have served as a backup on an NHL regular season or playoff roster (current as of 2023-24). Though these goalies never got to play in an NHL game, they deserve to be remembered for making it to the show.
Note that these are not goalies that we are looking to add game worn items of into our museum. An additional note is that this list isn't about goalies with NHL careers who have dressed on a team, but never played for them (ie. Jaroslav Halak in Buffalo).
