Amatöörijoukkue etsi maalivahtia Facebook-mainoksella. Roberto Luongo näki ilmoituksen, vastasi ja kävi pelaamassa pudotuspeliottelun.

Mediatietojen mukaan alasarjajoukkue voitti ottelussa kilpailun hallitsevan mestarin maalein 4–2. Maalivahtilegendan tempaus on herättänyt paljon keskustelua esimerkiksi sosiaalisessa mediassa.

Jääkiekon kunniagalleriaan Hockey Hall of Fameen vuonna 2022 jäseneksi otettu Luongo, 45, toimii tätä nykyä hallitsevan Stanley Cup -voittajan Florida Panthersin general managerin Bill Ziton neuvonantajana.

NHL-urallaan torjuja pelasi 1045 NHL-ottelua torjuntaprosentilla 91,9. Legenda koppasi kiekkoja New York Islandersin, Florida Panthersin sekä Vancouver Canucksin maalilla.

Kahdella sesongilla, vuosina 2008–2010 Luongo toimi kanadalaisjoukkueen kapteenina. Hänestä tuli ensimmäinen maalivahti-kapteeni sitten Bill Durnanin, joka oli vastuutehtävässä Montreal Canadiensissa kaudella 1947–1948.
