HAS ANYONE EVER SEE A PLAYER SCORE ON THEIR OWN NET?

[wishock]

Don't have to add the times I have seen it. I love this. Good to come home to a good laugh.

two years ago when east played white bear lake at the DECC, colin traschel was behind the net and when he came out to pass it to someone he accidentally flipped it right into ben leis' back and into the net. it was ridiculous.

Funny someone should post this topic, I was just thinking about this. I wasn't there so I don't know for sure, but I could swear I heard about this happening in maybe the 2000 or 2001 section game between...I want to say Eastview Lightning and maybe the...Holy Angels? Were they both in the same section? I forget which two teams were involved. Something happened where it was late in the game, and I think an Eastview player thought he heard a whistle, and out of frustration shot the puck on his own net. The goalie not expecting it or not paying attention or whatever, let the puck in. However there was no whistle and it counted for a goal, and as a result, the team ended up losing by 1. Or maybe 2 because that gave up any momentum the team had and they got scored on again. Does anyone remember this or have more detail about it?

It was Holy Angels v. Eastview in 2001 sections. It was the AHA defenseman who shot it into his own net. Eastview went on to win the game 4-3 and eventually won consalation at state. Can't remember who shot it in for AHA, hopefully an underclassmen who then played on their championship team in 2002 to make up for it.

In the NHL, Steve Smith of the Edmonton Oilers tried passing one from behind the net but banked it in off Grant Fuhr's leg. It was the winning goal in game 7 of the playoffs against Calgary in 1986. He was bawling after the game.

That's the biggest one I remember; Western Conference finals...lost a couple cases of beer on that one. Was hoping Smith would wind up in Hersey or some other armpit place but nope.

True story- we had a bantam game in 1959- had a face-off in our defensive zone. Now get this, somehow the teams got lined up facing the wrong way. The puck was dropped, we won the faceoff and our wing rifled a perfect shot into our own net. Stupid us celebrated the goal in our old way, not like the hateful celebrations of the modern era. Anyhow, the goal stood for the opposition and I dont have any recollection if it mattered in the final score.

It was a senior. The whistle came from the Eastview crowd - I heard it myself. The whole game was ugly - Eastview fans taunting an AHA player personally the entire time

In my sons Highschool game last year a delayed penalty was called and the goalie started for the bench. A forward passed the puck back to the defenseman who missed the pass and the puck went all the way the length of the ice into the empty net.

Was that the Edina Wayzata game?
I remember that very much, but it ended up not counting for some reason.
Wayzata won anyway.

what a loser who would score on their own goalie. I'd hope that a varsity hockey player in minnesota would be smart enough to score on the other net. Anyone who does this should quit

actually, there was a whistle, although not by the ref. All the players heard it and stopped play, and this player took a practice shot while everyone was skating off to change lines.
The refs called it an "own goal", even though it was obvious to everyone what had happened

I was watching that game.

That goal didn't count because Giles went nuts and claimed Connor Gaarder hit a Wayzata player when he made the pass.

Sounds like it happened in the Roseau game today.

I agree with this kid mom. What he's saying is why would you shoot at your own goal even in practice. Just something you don't do.

[selloutcrowd99]

Not an own goal but a few years back I was playing on a team and the ref had his hand up because of offsides...my coach assumed that the other team got a penalty so he called our goalie to the bench and the other team ended up scoring on a wide open net!

[reggiedunlop218]

yes, Dane Morin scored on his own net for duluth marshall this weekend. it was pretty funny

[boblee]

boblee has scored on himself many times.

This is true. I also saw a Centennial player score on his own goalie at the DECC this year.

[mch]

happened in our game this year. opposing forward was coming around our net, and d man pokechecked puck right out into slot, are guy was there and no one else, and i think he tried to clear it or something but put it 5 hole

[Stiff-Shaft]

Wouldn't scoring on your own net be considered incest?
