How many Hockey Hall of Fame Goalies are not from Canada?

Bob inspired in his answer to a different question. Got me thinking, how many goalies in the Hockey Hall of Fame are non Canadian?

Update:

Bob, interesting that you say Belfour is a likely to get in. While he was on of my favorite goalies when I first discovered the game, I have never considered him a HOFer.

    Charles Gardiner (Aberdeen, Scotland) - first European born captain to win the Stanley Cup (1935) and the only goaltender captain to win a Stanley Cup

    Francis "Mr. Zero" Brimsek (Eveleth, Minnesota) - still holds/shares records for most Vezinas, most shutouts, most shutout titles, and most Stanley Cups by a US born goaltender

    Vladislav Tretiak (Moscow, Russia) - had a losing record against the NHL's elite (9-12-2), but was pretty much unbeatable against the rest of the world in World, Olympic, Canada Cup and Izvestia play (97-13-3)

    To the rest of them...Charles Gardiner NEVER became a Canadian citizen (even though he was raised here)

    Chuck Gardiner was born in Scotland- Just learned that- BUT he was Canadian

    Tretiak- USSR

    The aforementioned Brimsek is from the US (Minnesota)

    I think that's it....two...not positive though

    Hasek (Czech) is a shoo in...that'll make 3

    Brodeur (shoo in) and Belfour (likely candidate) both Canadian will be there too

    Tretjak was pretty badass soviet hall of fame goalie.
