This is an incredible story. Due to a rare set of circumstances, Chicago accountant Scott Foster got called in to United Center in Chicago to act as an emergency goaltender. Basically, he was in the building to act as goalie for either team in case of injuries to the starting goalies.

About six minutes into the third period, starting goaltender Colin Delia goes down and he gets the nod.

Foster played 55 games for Western Michigan from 2002-06. He is the first emergency goaltender to play in an NHL game since Jorge Alves, an equipment manager for the Carolina Hurricanes, played eight seconds in a 3-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Dec. 31, 2016.

He’s an accountant with college hockey experience. Experience from 15 years ago. Crazy, right?

Watch the video to see this unfold. My favorite part is at the end of the game when he is mobbed by his new teammates.

I love hockey.
