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.
