Canadian University Player Scores All-Time Great Shootout Goal

Grant Valiquette's creative and mesmerizing goal was the game winner in Lakehead University's 6-5 win over Western.

Lakehead University's Grant Valiquette went into his bag of tricks and provided a slew of players with some new material.

The freshman pulled off the crazy shootout-winning goal Friday against Western University to power the Thunderwolves to a 6-5 win. Valiquette's unique and filthy move capped off a productive night at the office for the 22-year-old, who added a goal and an assist earlier in the game before sealing the victory for Lakehead with the creative game winner.

We've seen some dazzling shootout goals before—many, like these, come to mind—and the originality of this ensures it will join those all-time greats on highlight reels for years to come.

The very next night after Valiquette's stunning goal, Lakehead dropped Western again by an identical 6-5 score. The two schools are battling for the final playoff spots in the Ontario University Athletic's West Division.
