Not that it will happen often at all, but one thing that happened this weekend was both my goaltenders got hurt.
The rule apparently is that the backup can't get hurt and stays in, but thought I'd bring up potentially having an EBUG/league goalie going in.
Would mean all of us need to have a printed copy of whatever league goalie that is, just in case though.

No formal rule in rulebook as this wasn't anticipated as the odds are about 1 in 50,000 that it could occur.
My ruling was that the lesser of the two goalies in the game would play the remainder of the game. This will be the rule going forward but if you would like to see a change to this rule make a rules proposal for the upcoming AGM. Then 30 years from now when the next time this happens we'll have the rule in the book.

That would be awesome if Gary "Suitcase" Smith comes in as an EBUG and steals the win ala David Ayers! |

Actually there is a formal rule in the rulebook. Look at 4.3.1 Regular Season under Replacing the goaltender:
If a goaltender is replaced due to an injury (see 9.2)
- the Starting goaltender is charged with a game start but the backup is not
- the backup cannot be replaced and ignores all injury results.
I'd just think it'd be more interesting as per Adam's comment.

I'm all for the EBUG. One minor change I'd make to distinguish the EBUG from Korpisalo (I mean the league goaltender) would be to change the 6-7 from an F to an R so while the save numbers would be the same he's slightly more risky than the league goalie.
And I still want Lance Lebut back as my league goaltender.
