SASKATOON, Sask. – Two of the best words in hockey are: “Goalie Goal.”

Adam Muntain of the Regina Pat Canadians is now part of the extremely rare club of netminders who have scored a goal. “It’s the happiest I’ve been in my life,” said Muntain on Monday afternoon when asked to recall what flashed through his mind after scoring into the empty net on Sunday in Prince Albert. “I’ve been trying (to score) ever since I could raise the puck.”

With the Prince Albert Mintos trailing by two goals with less than four minutes to play in the third period, they pulled their goalie for the extra attacker. “(The Mintos) dumped it in (to our zone) and when I went out of the net (to play the puck), I looked up and had more time than normal,” explained Muntain.

“This was my chance at (scoring), but when it left my stick I looked up and (I thought) it was going left.”

But the puck bounced at the far blue line and went straight into the middle of the net.

“It was the best moment of my life,” stated Muntain, who did a fly-by of the bench after scoring.

It was also a moment that is being viewed thousands and thousands of times on Instagram. The highlight had been viewed 39,544 times by Monday afternoon. “It surprised me how many people knew so quick,” added Muntain.
