NJ Devils Give Martin Brodeur Statue A Permanent Home

NEWARK, NJ — The memory of the NJ Devils’ legendary goaltender Martin Brodeur is still making fans proud.

On Saturday, outside of the Prudential Center in Newark, team officials – joined by “Satan’s Wallpaper” himself - dedicated and revealed the permanent home of “The Salute,” a bronze statue honoring Brodeur’s career with the Devils.

The 900-pound bronze statue was created by renowned sculpture and artist Jon Krawczyk, who worked with Brodeur on the design. Krawczyk, a Boonton Township native and lifelong Devils fan, also created the steel hockey statue on Championship Plaza outside of Prudential Center.

“The Salute” was originally unveiled during Brodeur’s jersey retirement weekend in February when the team raised No. 30 to the rafters.
