Only a team like the Florida Panthers would ever even attempt something like this in 2015. The Panthers announced today that they will be holding an open public tryout, a contest if you will, that will result in the best applicant getting an amateur-tryout contract with the team. The contract will give the winner an opportunity to be Florida's back up practice goalie for one day. This is obvious a public relations stunt that was prompted by both Roberto Luongo and Al Montoya going down to injury in the same game, and the emergency goalie fiasco that it created. So if you've ever dreamed of being an NHL goalie here's your shot. No this is not a joke.
