Jordan Sigalet Jordan Marvin Sigalet ( born February 19 , 1981 in New Westminster , British Columbia ) is a retired Canadian ice hockey goaltender . Career . Sigalet ended the 2003 NCAA hockey season by playing his team ' s last game ( a playoff loss ) while feeling numbness across his entire body . Afraid that he would never be able to play hockey again , Sigalet had been feeling numbness for a period of time before that ; only his family and a small number of people associated with his team knew about his problem . His ordeal had begun on the nights of February 27 and 28 of that year , when he played against Northern Michigan University . Having stopped 66 shot attempts on both games combined , Sigalet woke up on the 29th feeling numbness in his left leg . Sigalet thought that he had somehow hurt his leg while sleeping , or , perhaps , that the numbness was a consequence of stopping so many puck shots in such a short time . But , later on during that day ( the 29th ) , the numbness spread to his neck . Sigalet , whose brother Jonathan also played on the Bowling Green hockey team , underwent a CT scan the next day . He was soon diagnosed with multiple sclerosis , based on the scan ' s result . Sigalet began treatment with injections and a special diet almost immediately . Bowling Green personnel announced that he would be missing some games , but Sigalet only missed one game . The general public , as well as the great majority of his teammates , believed Sigalet only had a flu , as the university he played for initially said . In December 2004 , Sigalet spoke publicly about his condition for the first time . Many fellow hockey players were inspired by him : the entire Nebraska - Omaha hockey team autographed a jersey and sent it to him . Players from University of Michigan and from Boston College also sent him signed items . In addition , he became the first goalie to hold the position of team captain at Bowling Green . During the 2005 NCAA season , Sigalet has blocked 92 percent of the shots taken against him . Sports Illustrated magazine published an article about him on their August issue that year . Sigalet is now an ambassador for the Multiple Sclerosis Rhode Island chapter . Sigalet participated in a fundraiser supported by the Providence Bruins and pharmaceutical company Serono ( maker of MS treatment Rebif ) called " Sigalet Saves For MS " that donated 20 dollars for every save he made . On Friday November 16 , 2007 , Sigalet , during a game with the Worcester Sharks , collapsed at the 9 : 12 mark of the third period . Freelance videotape showed him face down on the ice . The puck was on the opposite end of the rink . When he left the building , Sigalet was awake and conscious . Boston Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli believes Sigalet ' s attack was caused by a combination of the renovations being done to the Dunkin Donuts Center and smoke and fireworks effects used by the Manchester Monarchs . Sigalet joined with the Vienna Capitals on 25 January 2009 and left Gazovik Tyumen . He formerly has played his collegiate hockey at Bowling Green State University and NHL ' s Boston Bruins . Sigalet was named the goaltending coach of the Everett Silvertips August 3 , 2010 . On August 3 , 2011 Sigalet was hired as a goaltending coach for the Abbotsford Heat of the American Hockey League .
