Eric Semborski was greeted by loud applause as he skated onto the ice at the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday night.
Semborski, who played club ice hockey at Temple from 2011-15, thought he was just going to spend the night watching the game between the Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils as Philadelphia’s second emergency goalie.
