Gilles Gratton, a former professional ice hockey player, was born on July 28, 1952, in La Salle, Quebec. Nicknamed “Gratoony The Loony”, he started playing in the World Hockey Association in 1972. He played for the Ottawa Nationals and spent few seasons with the Toronto Toros. He made his National football League debut with the St. Louis Blues. He also played for the New York Rangers. Known to wear his goalie mask, his sibling, Norm Gratton, was also an NHL player. This mask was voted as 6th among scary goalie mask at a website.  

He is likewise known for his unusual personality and a believer of reincarnation. He claims that he was a Spanish count in the past. He once refused a game because he stressed that the moon was on the wrong place in the sky. His teammates also mentioned that Gratton usually hang out naked in some of their practices. There were also some who testified that he growls and hiss during games, living up to his goalie mask which, according to him, is a tiger. In San Diego in one of his games, he insulted the city and the team before the start of the game.
