"Some people can be doctors, Some people can be lawyers. Ed was born to be a goalie. That's his net and nobody comes around there. I just hope he stays in hockey until he's too old to dragrace." (Alma Belfour, Ed's mother)

" He has some direct sincereity that is very unique. It's special. His loyalty to his friends and family is as definative as I 've ever seen. I think when Ed feels you believe in him, he'll go through a wall for you both professionaly and personally." (Coach, Ken Hitchcock)
"When a goaltender is having a good year, he's winning the winnable games. When a goaltender is having a great year, he's stealing points. All this year (1999/2000) Belfour has stolen for us in at least four games so far. We didn't sign him to win the Cup. We signed him to have a good goalie." (Coach Ken Hitchcock,)
"Definately, any time for me someone said I couldn't do something or put me down, I love to try amd prove them wrong. I know what I can do inside. I know what I am capable of doing.

Alot of times he has his blocker and his paddle flat on the ice. If he has a weakness it's the one-timer. I try to get him moving and then go five hole. But mostly he gives you nothing down low and makes you roof it on him. If you can...all the more power to you. But he knows the odds are in his favor. (Doug Weight, ESPN Sportszone, April 1998)
"It's time to give Eddie the Eagle his due. He has usurped Dominik Hasek as the best goalie in the game today. His playoff performance with Dallas last spring leaves no doubt about that." (Bob McKenzie, The Hockey News)
"I think every player wants to go out on his own terms. Dallas is the only place I want to play. I chose to play in Dallas when I was a free agent and I signed an extension on my contract last fall, so Dallas is home. I think I can add to the success of the franchise for many more years." (Ed Belfour Dallas Morning News, Ask The Eagle column)
