Alberta Junior Hockey League history was made Tuesday night at Bonnett’s Energy Centre.

Spruce Grove Saints goalie Tristan Martin became the first netminder in the league’s 58-year history to score a goal.

Martin fired the puck from behind his own net into the open Storm goal in the final minute of the Saints 6-3 win over the Grande Prairie Storm, handing the Storm their third loss in as many nights.

Caiden Gault scored twice for the Saints, while Luigi Benincasa, Brett Pfoh, and Brock McKinley also scored for the Saints. Martin made 19 saves to pick up the win.
