Francis Charles "Mister Zero" Brimsek (September 26, 1913 — November 11, 1998) was an American professional goaltender who played for the Boston Bruins and Chicago Black Hawks in the National Hockey League. In 1943 the Second World War interrupted Brimsek's career, and he joined the Coast Guard. He played on the Coast Guard "Cutters" hockey team and then served aboard a Coast Guard supply ship in the Pacific until the end of the war. An annual award given to the top high school goaltender in the state of Minnesota is given in Brimsek's honor.
