Christian Soucy Christian Soucy (born September 14, 1970) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender. He appeared in three minutes of one National Hockey League game with the Chicago Blackhawks in the 1993–94 season. Soucy did not face a shot during that brief appearance. This effectively renders Soucy as the NHL's comparable version to Major League Baseball's legendary Moonlight Graham. Soucy's record was surpassed by Jorge Alves on December 31, 2016, who played 7.6 seconds in his only NHL game.

History of the National Hockey League (1917–42) The National Hockey League (NHL) was founded in 1917 following the demise of its predecessor league, the National Hockey Association (NHA). In an effort to remove Eddie Livingstone as owner of the Toronto Blueshirts, a majority of the NHA franchises (the Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Wanderers, Ottawa Senators and Quebec Bulldogs) suspended the NHA and formed the new NHL. Quebec, while a member, did not operate in the NHL for the first two years. Instead the owners of the Toronto Arena Gardens operated a new Toronto franchise. While the NHL was intended as a temporary measure, the continuing dispute with Livingstone led to the four NHA owners meeting and making the suspension of the NHA permanent one year later.
