On December 22nd 1924, Boston Bruins' first season in the National Hockey League, Norman "Hec" Fowler had allowed 9 goals go past him against the Toronto St. Pats. The Bruins decided it was time to change goaltenders, and time was called while George Redding resumed the armor of the job. Play resumed, Redding at goal for the Bruins. The new goalie, whose regular position is on the wing, got a big hand when he stopped his first shot.
