Video: Ice hockey goalie scores from his own net and takes off for a mad celebration

Wow

Sound the goalie scores klaxon.

I take it we don’t have one for when a goaltender hits the target from the other side of the ice though?

Reto Berra, take a bow. Because this is incredible.

The Colorado Avalanche NHL player was sent down to play in the AHL recently and responded in kind with absolute heroics just to show that he’s too good for this level.

And, appearing for the Lake Erie Monsters – an affiliate side of Colorado Avalanche – the Swiss-born stopper produced the spectacular last night against the Chicago Wolves when he became not only the 11th goaltender to score in AHL history, but he scored from his own bloody goal with this dead-centre effort.

Naturally, he took off in glee to celebrate with the bench. “Nice celey” as our trans-Atlantic friends put it.
