Chabot and Chabot?

[Section A]

Any relation between Louis Chabot and Lorne Chabot?

[Section A]

Lorne Chabot, by the way, was a goalie for the Rangers and the Leafs back in the (30's and 40's I think?). He had a GAA for his career at something like a 1.6. and apparently he won the Vezina (they had that back then?).

I started wondering if there was any relation to Louis when Steve and Panger mentioned Lorne Chabot during the Devils broadcast....

The Georges Vezina Trophy has been given since 1927, a year after its namesake (the Canadiens great of the 1910's and 1920's) died of tuberculosis.  Until 1980, it was given to the principal goalies on the team that allowed the fewest goals during the regular season.

Lorne Chabot won the trophy in 1935 playing for Chicago, with a 1.83 GAA that season.
