>This is the latest in a series of bizarre awards handed out by hockey teams, with many NHL sides making it a custom.

>After stopping 36 shots and conceding just two goals, the 23-year-old can be seen in the changing room after the game as a club official brings the weapon in.

>It is then handed to the cpatain who officially makes the handover.
