From Quiz NHL Goalie: Roman Cechmanek

Answer: Philadelphia Flyers

When Cechmanek's draft date and birth date are compared, some interesting numbers result. Most players are drafted when they are around 18-19 years of age, and are quickly placed into the minor leagues to hone their skills. Cechmanek was an astonishing 29 years old when he was drafted by Philadelphia. The reason he was drafted so far in the draft, was because of his age. Every team knew his skill, but they weren't open-minded enough to take someone nearly thirty years of age. In his first season with Philadelphia in 2000-2001, Cechmanek became the starting golatender. He played 59 games earning a 35-15-6 record with an astonishing 2.01 goals against average, a 0.921% save average, and an almost superhuman 10 shutouts.

Other notable goalies who were drafted higher than him included Marc Andre Fleury (1st overall) in 2003, and Kari Lehtonen (2nd overall) in 2002.
