Junior B goalies drop the gloves for a classic goalie tilly
Goalie fights have become less common over the last decade, but every once and awhile we get two goalies ready to drop their gear and give their teams a spark. That's exactly what happened for two players in this Saskatchewan Junior B league.
On Sunday the Saskatoon Royals shutout the Carrot River Outback Thunder, but the game was highlighted by a goalie fight. During the second period goaltender Brayden Schenstead decided that despite pitching a shutout he wanted to drop the gloves with the Carrot River goalie.
The two met at center ice and dropped their gear for a spirited tilt that a fan captured on camera.
When all was said and done Schenstead ended up with what the team is calling a "Goalie Gordie Howe Hat Trick. Schenstead finished with the win, a shutout and 15 minutes in penalties. It's great to see the fighting spirit alive and well with the next generation of hockey players.
