Christopher John Osgood (born November 26, 1972, in Peace River, Alberta) is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender with the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League (NHL). He spent the first part of his career with Detroit, and then played for the New York Islanders and the St. Louis Blues during his 14-year NHL career before returning to Detroit in 2005. He has won three Stanley Cup championships in his career, all with the Red Wings, with two of them coming while he was starting goaltender. He is known in Detroit by his nicknames "Ozzie," which is chanted by the crowd after a big save, and "The Wizard of Oz." He is the only remaining NHL goalie to wear a traditional player's helmet/cage combo instead of the newer one piece goalie mask.
