Last night both the Carolina Hurricanes main goalie and backup goalie got hurt so they called David Ayres. David was the Zamboni driver for the Toronto Marlies the minor team of the Toronto Maple Leafs, last David Played in a competitive league was in 2015 fifteen when he was playing in the Junior B League David has come a long way because in 2004 David had to get a kidney transplant.
This is the second time a emergency backup goalie got to play when in 2017 Chicago Blackhawks Anton Forsberg and Colin Delia both got hurt. So they called in 36 year old Scott Foster who fased 14 shots and made 14 saves.
When one of the sport net dudes was interviewing him and his wife the sportsnet guy asked his wife.
What did you first think when Petr Mrazek got hurt?
So David’s wife Sarah answered with this:
Well I seen Mrazek get hurt at the last minute and then I was like Dave is going to play for the Hurricanes!!!
After that the Sportsnet guy asked her.
Are you proud of David?
She said:
Although I am a Toronto fan I am very proud of my Dave!
Here is a video of parts of the game he played.
After that the Hurricanes ended up beating Toronto 6 to 3.
