It's not a random, off the street guy, it's an "almost NHL" quality goalie. Usually someone cut or trying to make it. They are very good goalies, just not NHL quality.

On the RARE occassion they get used, it's a free tryout, in front of both teams.

Goalies are a special breed, they've been goalies since very young. Takes a certain kind of person to stand there and get pucks shot at them
