this much time? Or at all? Emergency goalie has definitely played before but I can’t remember more than 2-3 minutes I was wrong about it being the first time in recent history, but it's only been one other time that I can fine where the emergency goalie actually made it into the game. While I found a bunch of stories about emergency goalies getting dressed and being on the bench, I finally found one. It was actually last year and was apparently the first time it had happened (Hurricanes equipment manager Jorge Alves). But he only played the last seven seconds of the game and didn't face a shot. The one big difference is that Alves had prior professional experience, playing in the WHLEHCL, and was signed to a PTO (Pro Try Out) contract prior to the game. Foster doesn't have pro experience, so he was only sign to an ATO (amatuer). Alves was put in the game by choice, I think the only way Foster could get into the game was if Delia got injured and he had to go in (as in Q couldn't pull Delia for Foster), but I don't really know if that's the case. This is all only referring to recent history, I wouldn't be surprised if it happened a few times back during the Original 6 era and before (yep, back before 65 teams were only required to carry 1 goalie, so a house goalie was at every game. Seems the last time this happened before Alves was in 1963: http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/article/the-inside-story-on-the-oddity-that-is-the-emergency-backup-goalie-and-why-it-could-soon-change)
