NHL: Zamboni driver, David Ayres beats Toronto and becomes a Carolina legend

Last night in Toronto a 42 year old goalie was pulled from the stands and onto the ice in an emergency situation. The Carolina Hurricanes lost both their goalies by the middle of the second period, and had to sign David Ayres for $500 to finish the game. He did give up two quick goals, but shut down the Leafs in the third to capture a magical moment.

Suiting up

Ayres who works for the Toronto Marlies, the Leafs AHL affiliate stepped on the ice and captured the hearts of every beer league player and hockey fan alike.
