13-Year Old House League Goalie Practices with Senators

An interesting story out of Ottawa today:

Christian Rusu will have quite the story to tell when he goes back to Broadview Public School with his Grade 8 class next week.

One minute late Monday morning, the 13-year-old house league goaltender was laughing with his friends, taking off his equipment in the dressing room after a hockey camp session at the Bell Sensplex.

The next minute, he was back on the ice, facing shots from the Ottawa Senators’ Chris Kelly, Chris Neil, Chris Phillips, Shean Donovan, Anton Volchenkov and Jason Smith and several other National Hockey League players

What an experience for the young man. Hopefully he will get to skate with them again and won’t show up late in a white Hummer refusing to speak to reporters.
