Emergency backup goaltender David Ayres is now enshrined in the annals of hockey history.<\/p>\n
The 42-year-old’s hockey stick, which he used last Saturday night to help the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Toronto Maple Leafs on\u00a0Hockey Night in Canada<\/em>, now sits in the Hockey Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n The Whitby, Ont., native delicately placed the stick into a glass case himself Friday, while wearing white gloves. He stopped eight of 10 shots by the Leafs with that stick.<\/p>\n “I can’t express how big of an honour it is for them to even ask me to have my stick come into the Hockey Hall of Fame,” he told reporters.<\/p>\n “I’m sure as a hockey player, any kid at any age always wants a part of them to be in the Hockey Hall of Fame.”<\/p>\n CBC<\/p>\n
