On February 22, 2020, 42-year-old David Ayres got the phone call of his life. It was Hockey Night in Canada in Toronto with the Carolina Hurricanes and Toronto Maple Leafs in the midst of a tight playoff race.

The magical performance by Ayers in Toronto ended up being voted by NHL fans the Best Feel-Good Moment in 2020. This episode of 'Keep Swinging' is all about being ready for when your name is called as the netminder details such a memorable night and how he overcame a health scare prior to that game.
