André Racicot

André Racicot (born June 9, 1969 in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec) is a retired ice hockey goaltender.

Racicot started his National Hockey League career with the Montreal Canadiens, for whom he played from 1989 to 1993, and won a Stanley Cup with in 1993.

Racicot is perhaps unfairly best remembered for his infamous nickname, "Red Light", earned by allowing 3 goals on 6 shots in his first NHL game. The Nickname was first used by Don Cherry in 1991, although Racicot had the NHL's second-highest winning percentage that season and a slightly worse goals against average than Patrick Roy. While he spent most of his career playing as Roy's backup, he had a very successful career in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and in the American Hockey League for the Canadiens' farm teams, sharing the Harry "Hap" Holmes Memorial Award for fewest goals allowed in the AHL in 1990.

Racicot left the National Hockey League after the 1994 season, spending several seasons with various teams in the American Hockey League, International Hockey League, and East Coast Hockey League. The 1999 - 2000 season saw Racicot move to Russia, playing in 20 games with HC Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik before returning to North America for another five seasons of minor-pro hockey. He retired as a player in 2004.
