From UberEats driver to NHL goalie: Inside the unlikeliest start in hockey history
Briefly

Brandon Halverson, once contemplating the end of his hockey career, defied the odds by starting as a goalie for the Tampa Bay Lightning at age 29. His journey included stints delivering food, working on a farm, and playing in lower leagues, punctuated by numerous injuries and mental health struggles. Halverson's determination to achieve his childhood dream culminated in a long-awaited NHL start, representing an inspiring comeback against immense obstacles, fueled by support from family and his hockey idols, proving resilience in the face of adversity.
Through numerous injuries, several of which required surgery, and wondering multiple times whether he had reached the end of his career. Through tough talks, and tears, and mental health struggles.
I'm just happy that after all of everything that I've gone through that I was able to start a game (in the NHL). That was the goal in my mind this entire time.
