Dany Sabourin

 

Dany Sabourin of Val d’Or Quebec plays goal for the Vancouver Canucks, he catches left, and is big.

 

Sabourin’s 6'2", 200 lbs frame makes it perfect for the goal tending job. However, while good performances make an athlete stick to the people’s minds, it is Sabourin’s bad first that makes him memorable to all hockey fans.

 

Sabourin’s Unforgettable First

 

In his debut with the National Hockey League in October 29, 2003, Sabourin, playing for the Calgary Flames in Dallas, pulled of a stint even he could never forget.

 

His team was playing against the Dallas Stars as back up of Jamie McLennan after starter Roman Turek succumbed to his knee injuries.

 

After being on the bench for quite some time, a window of opportunity opened up for Sabourin, when he was made to take his place in manning the goal for the first time.

 

At his behest, Sabourin only allowed three goals from opponent Bill Guerin during the regulation period.

 

However, just seventeen ticks into the extra period, Jason Arnot sneaked in a fast puck past Sabourin and unto the back of the net, spelling disaster for Sabourin and the Flames.

 

Sabourin’s Trail towards the Pros

 

Sabourin’s career in the pro league started in 1998 when he was drafted by the Calgary Flames in the fourth round of the National Hockey League entry draft, where he was the 108th pick overall, but Calgary’s fifth choice.

 

He played for the team until 2003, until he was re-signed in June of the same year. He signed with the Wiles-Barre/Crantos Penguins playing in the AHL the year after and in 2005, he signed in as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

 

Accolade

 

He became a goaltender for Team Canadian in American Hockey League All-Stars in February 2006, before he claimed off waivers, to finally jump ship to the Vancouver Canucks in October of that same year.
