i still don't understand the emergency backup goalie
― spite n ease (harbl), Sunday, 23 February 2020 15:03 (four years ago) link
The NHL requires each home team to maintain a list of local non-professional goaltenders, available to either team, who can be used in the exceptional case that one or both of a team's normal goaltenders are injured or unavailable; such a goaltender who fulfills that role is treated as an emergency back–up goaltender.Those on a team's emergency list are given free attendance to home games they are assigned and may also help out as a practice goalie. Emergency goalies are often called from nearby college teams, adult semi-pro/amateur leagues, or the home team's own coaching/facilities staff. If activated for a game, most emergency goaltenders only dress to sit on the bench, as a team's normal back-up takes over; only three emergency goalies have ever seen recorded playing time in an NHL game. Emergency goalies who are activated sign either an amateur or professional tryout contract.

this seems cumbersome. i prefer the baseball method of when you run out of pitchers in the 15th inning put in an outfielder who pitched when he was in high school.

Do they get paid or does nhl pitch this as an opportunity for "exposure" and a free ticket?
― toadstool might (tehresa), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 03:48 (four years ago) link
i think they just get free tickets, and like once every five or ten years lightning strikes and someone gets a chance to play in the nhl
i *kind* of agree with harbl, but every baseball player can throw and you don't need special equipment to pitch. also, it's just fun -- i mean some random 42yo dude just got to play in the best league in the world and helped win a game. that's pretty cool

it does give it more of a community feeling, it's true. i recall in the last article i read it said they give the guy $500.
