This is a good love of the game story. I will choose to enjoy it.

I think a standard age, minimum level played, and how recently they played is a good start.
For example: must be between the ages of 22 and 35 and must have played at least Jr A. or higher in the last 3 years. Something like that.
Loved the story but I think the debate as to the quality of emergency goaltenders is legitimate.
