Cujo - The Untold Story of My Life on and off the Ice Curtis Joseph with Kirstie Mclellan Day

Curtis Joseph’s path to hockey greatness was anything but predictable.

Long before becoming one of the most recognizable goaltenders in NHL history, Joseph entered the sport later than his peers, faced repeated setbacks, and was overlooked by every team on draft day. What followed was an eighteen-season NHL career built on determination, mental toughness, and an unrelenting drive to prove doubters wrong.

From iconic moments in Toronto to championship-calibre performances across six franchises, Joseph’s career placed him among the elite goaltenders of his era and earned him a coveted Olympic gold medal representing Canada. Yet the numbers only tell part of the story.

In this deeply personal memoir, Joseph reflects on his unconventional childhood, the pressures of professional hockey, and the personal struggles that unfolded behind the mask. Co-written with acclaimed sports writer Kirstie McLellan Day, Cujo delivers honest insight, behind-the-scenes stories, and a rare look at the person behind the legend—both on the ice and far beyond it.

This is the story fans haven’t heard—until now.
