Everyone loves a goalie goal -- a true goalie goal. Not one of those bad passes that turns into a goal and the netminder gets credit because they touched it last.
Goaltender Anthony Hurtubise scored a goal Friday night for his St. Thomas Stars of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League. But it wasn’t just any goalie goal. The 20-year-old scored his in double overtime. Yes, double overtime. It was the only tally in the 1-0 win over the Komoka Kings.
Here’s Hurtubise describing how it went down inside the Joe Thornton Community Centre via Instagram:
(Komoka has already secured a playoff spot but clearly were trying to make up ground on fifth-place LaSalle.)
And not only did Hurtubise score the game-winning overtime goal, he also stopped 27 shots to record a shutout. Pretty nice way to spend a Friday night.
