Only partly correct. Typically, UAA dresses three goal tenders for home 
games with one being a walk-on 'practice' goalie who is never expected to 
play in a regular game with the home 'dressing' mostly a reward for his 
yeoman efforts during practices throughout the year. One of the regular goal 
tenders had a baby during the week (his girl friend) and had little sleep 
and/or practice time during the latter part of the week. He did not dress 
and instead sat in the stands. Denver ran the regular goal tender early in 
Friday's night game causing substantial injury and removal from the game. 
Thus, the unexpected occurred and the 'practice' goalie had to go in. He did 
extremely well (UAA lost 3-2) however they had the normal, regular senior 
goalie who was in the stands dress and sit on the bench during the third 
period (referee granted this). That goalie then played the entire game on 
Saturday night.
