I read a story years ago that i hae been curious if it was fact or not.
I think it took place in Minisota.
A young boy had just moved into town, and had never seen ice much less played hockey before.
The town had a minor league (pee wee) hockey team, and he for some reason wanted to try out for it.
He couldnt skate, and couldnt play hockey and the coaches realized this right off. But considering the town, he was made 3rd string goalie, knowing he probably would never see the chance to play.
The season went along and the team did terrible. They won a few games but mostly were disgrased.
The final game was coming up, and it was against the state champs, a game no one was looking forward to.
Within days of the game however, the first string goalie fell down stairs and broke his leg and the second goalie got sick (or something).
This left the goalie who had never played a single game so far.
Everyone was sure they were dead meat, and did not expect much from him.
