"The huge goaltender was impressive in a six-game trial with the Islanders in 1999-2000 but spent all of last year in the minor leagues. He appeared in 20 games with the AHL's Springfield Falcons and posted a 3.04 goals-against average. Valiquette stands 6-5 and weights 190 pounds. He's considered somewhat of a free spirit but is also extremely competitive. (The Sports Forecaster 2001-02, p. 96)
