RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — David Ayres will get another turn in the spotlight — this time in Carolina A night after Ayres stepped in as an emergency goalie in Carolina’s 6-3 victory at Toronto, the Hurricanes said they are bringing the Zamboni driver to Raleigh for their game Tuesday night against the Dallas Stars. “See you Tuesday, Davey!” the club said on its Twitter account. “Ayres will be in the building on Tuesday and will be our @VectorSecurity Siren Sounder!” “They’re flying me down to Carolina for their game on Tuesday so I’ll get to spend more time with the guys, which is good,” Ayres said Toronto on Sunday at the Maple Leafs’ practice facility. “They’re a great team, great organization.” Raleigh Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin also announced Tuesday will be “David Ayres Day” in the city. The Hurricanes started selling shirts with Ayres’ name and No. 90 after the game. The team says Ayres will get royalties and a portion of the proceeds will go to a kidney foundation in honor of the goaltender, who underwent a kidney transplant in 2004.

maybe the Sharks should put him in net and sit Jones..
Nice to read a positive, uplifting story.
Tommie and Hank Aaron hold MLB record for most HRs by brothers. Tommie had 13.
Marleau to Penguins. Great chance to win a Cup. Sharks could still re-sign him July 1 so he can pursue the record for most games played.
What’s his game like these days? I didn’t think he was good with the Leafs.
Great game. GO RANGERS!
I remember a Zamboni driver who helped the New England Patriots win a game against the Miami Dolphins
He’s still very fast and a responsible two-way player. Only 10 goals, but on an awful team this year.
That looks more like Brett Hull.
Thanks, good to know. If the Pens coach can keep himself from putting him in the top six (something Babcock couldn’t resist) he should be an upgrade in the bottom six.
But, But who driving the Zamboni ??
Do they gave a backup Zamboni driver ???
You play too much plants vs. zombies and are from too far south.
That was a snowplough.
Even my four year old knows the difference, But he is a Canuck. He can build a recognizable zamboni out of legos.
