The CHL is counting down its Top 50 Players of the Last 50 Years list. The league recently revealed numbers 31 to 40, which included a former Vancouver Canucks captain. That captain was Roberto Luongo, who spent over seven seasons with the organization. Before Luongo became one of the best goaltenders in the NHL, he was a star in the QMJHL [http://thn.com/qmjhl]. He spent the majority of his career with the Val-d'Or Foreurs before being moved to the Acadie-Bathurst Titan at the end of his junior career. Luongo would play 180 games during his QMJHL career and made it to back-to-back Memorial Cups in 1998 and 1999. As for his Canucks career, Luongo was acquired by Vancouver in 2006. He would play 448 regular-season games and is the franchise record holder for wins with 252. During his time with the Canucks, Luongo helped lead the team to Game 7 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final and won Gold for Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
