Hurricanes emergency goalie David Ayres comes out of his net to play the puck against the Toronto Maple Leafs during second period NHL hockey action in Toronto, Saturday, Feb. 22, 2020. Ayres, who serves as the Toronto Marlies’ zamboni driver, replaced Petr Mrazek in net after a delay in action. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Frank GunnTORONTO -- Twenty-four hours ago, David Ayres was simply enjoying his life as a Zamboni driver.
During an NHL game, the home team is required to have an emergency goalie in the building in case either team loses their goalies during the game for whatever reason. And on this night in Toronto, it was Ayres. Ayres, who had been watching the game in Scotiabank Arena with his wife, quickly began donning equipment when Carolina Hurricanes goalie James Reimer went down with an injury.
And once Carolina backup Petr Mrazek went down, Ayres was told “Get going. Get ready” because he was going in net.
It was wild - and EASY! Totally dominated the entitled Leafs.
Superstar!
The Legendary David Ayres!
And in the third period, MapleLeafs played so badly, Ayres became a Star!!
Atta boy Dave!
Congrats to you....how fun is that ❤️❤️🇨🇦
