Emergency goaltender David Ayres on a media tour

It’s the kind of story that would make a great movie. An aging athlete is given one more shot to make it to the pros.

A 42-year-old Whitby man lived that story after being summoned to the ice on Saturday night to face the Toronto Maple Leafs after both Carolina Hurricanes goalies were injured in the game.

Adam Atkinson reports, like a Hollywood movie this story also had a happy ending.
