I recently learned about a delightful National Hockey League rule/position: emergency back-up goalie.
The NHL requires each team to have a backup goalie on call, in case either team needs him during a game. A few days ago, the Toronto Maple Leafs' Zamboni driver made his NHL debut and a lot of headlines, winning the game for North Carolina. The CBC notes that he was paid $500 "and gets to keep his jersey."
