Cinderella On Ice

When 42-year-old Zamboni driver David Ayres was called onto the ice as an emergency backup goalie for the Carolina Hurricanes, no one expected history to be written. With a kidney transplant behind him and no professional NHL experience, Ayres stepped into the crease against the Toronto Maple Leafs-and stunned the world.

This is not just a hockey story.
It's a story of resilience, humility, and the quiet courage it takes to show up when everything's on the line. From the first shaky saves to the final glove stop that sealed the win, Ayres' journey unfolds in twenty-eight unforgettable minutes of glory. But the heart of the story lies in what came before-and what came after.

Told with emotional realism and cinematic pacing, Cinderella On Ice captures the improbable rise of a man who never stopped believing. It's a tribute to second chances, the power of preparation, and the magic that can happen when ordinary people are given the chance to do something extraordinary.
