ECHL netminder scores first goalie goal in team's history (video)

Scoring a goalie goal at any level is fun, but becoming the first goaltender to do it in your team's history makes it even that much more special. Francois Brassard has become the first goalie to get his name in the goal section of the scoresheet of the ECHL's Maine Mariners following a perfect shot from his own net against the Adirondack Thunder on Sunday. His goal increased the score to 5-2. This was Brassard's second attempt at a goal in this game, and he made it count.

Brassard was drafted by the Ottawa Senators in round 6 in 2012. He's spent the vast majority of his pro career at the ECHL level.
