I'd say Foster has one of the best side gigs on the planet.

...Foster saved all seven shots he faced in a 6-2 win. Then how did they get '2'?...................

Backup Collin Delia, who had just been recalled from the minor leagues, made his NHL debut Thursday and played well in relief of Forsberg, stopping 25 of 27 shots. But he left early in the third period with an apparent lower-body injury.
Enter Foster, whose only hockey stats (.875 save percentage, 3.44 GAA) came at Western Michigan those many years ago.

If he’s an emergency back-up who they pay to be at the rink nightly, he’s definitely taking shots from the players during practice on a regular basis.
I bet he also plays in a high level amateur hockey league. I know a lot of ex-college hockey guys who do. Certainly not the NHL, but its not like he hasn’t played in 12 years

“Backup Collin Delia......stopping 25 of 27 shots”
The two he didn’t stop were the goals...

He had a great quote at the end of the article: I think Im just hitting my prime, Foster told the Chicago Sun-Times. The initial shock happened when I had to dress. And then I think you just kind of black out after that.”
To: JBW1949
Yeah, really good backup!.............

He only played the last 14 minutes. The other team already had 2 goals by then.

What a cool story. That guy is probably on top of the world today.

Its interesting...Foster said he only gets assigned to home games and he's one of about a dozen emergency goalies the Blackhawks rely on. So about once a month or so he gets paid to sit in the press box, eat dinner and watch the game.
Foster also plays goalie in an amateur hockey league so he not rusty, but no where near the level of the NHL.

Not bad for a 36-year-old guy who had not played competitive hockey since his four-year career at Western Michigan University ended in 2006

Cool story, indeed. Love the quote about blacking out. For the rest of his life, he is an NHL goalie who got the W in his first game. Ain’t nobody taking that away from hm.
