CHICAGO (CBSMiami) – A Chicago man who is an office worker by day lived a dream Thursday night, suiting up and starring in a professional NHL game.

That man, who stepped in as goalie for the NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks, is 36-year-old Scott Foster.

He never played a pro game in his life.

As a matter of fact, his day job is perhaps the polar opposite of ice hockey.

“I’m an accountant by day so a few hours ago I was sitting on the computer typing on a ten-key and now I’m standing in front of you guys, just finished 14 1/2 minutes of NHL hockey,” Foster said after the game.
