Ever dream of being an emergency goalie for an NHL team? The Devils may be interested in your services.

The Devils will hold tryouts on Sept. 23 for the team's emergency goalie at home games. Per an NHL rule for the 2017-18 season, all teams are required to have an emergency goalie on hand who can dress and play if either team cannot dress to two healthy goaltenders.

Now, there are some qualifications any interested party would need to meet in order to be eligible for a tryout.

* Must be between the ages of 18-35.

* Must be able to attend the Sept. 23 tryout, as well as a majority of Devils home games and possible practices, and bring full equipment with you.

* Must have playing experience beyond high school/youth hockey (junior, NCAA, ACHA, etc.).

The Devils are accepting applications for tryouts now through Sept. 18, and any selected goalies will be invited to the Prudential Center for a tryout with Devils coaches and alumni at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 23.

The Devils didn't use an emergency goalie last season, but they came close. Starter Cory Schneider was scratched from a pair of games in January due to illness, but he felt well enough to dress while Keith Kinkaid played both games.

If Schneider couldn't dress, then goalie coach Chris Terreri would have been the team's emergency goalie. Terreri is now the goaltender development coach with the New York Islanders.
