Several Peterborough Petes were on the bench during the filming cheering on both sides. Despite Simpson’s excellent performance in the video, his teammates were quick to remind the goalie of his few mistakes after filming and in the locker room.
"They were giving it to me pretty good for letting in the goals but it was all a good experience and it was all super fun,” said Simpson.
Friends, family and fans messaged the Petes goaltender and blew up his phone and social media after they saw the video.
"A good amount of people have reached out. My family said it was a super cool experience but a lot of people back home, in high school and even elementary school reached out and said it’s such a cool opportunity,” said Simpson. “It was pretty cool to have those people reaching out and letting me know how cool it is."
