Chances are you've probably never watched a game from the IIHF's Division III championships, so the probability of you ever hearing the name Eliezer Sherbatov is slim, unless you're a devout follower of the Israeli national hockey team or the Montreal Juniors or Baie-Comeau Drakkar of the QMJHL.

During the D-III championships in April in South Africa, Sherbatov had a six-point game against Greece and delivered what would have been a highlight-reel goal around the world had the tournament been on many more people's radars ... and also not been finally uploaded to YouTube last weekend.

Via a retweet from Paul Bissonnette and CBS's Eye on Hockey blog, here's what's arguably a top-five "Goal of the Year" candidate:

Sherbatov was the star at the tournament leading Israel to the gold medal with 14 goals and 26 points in four games. When you beat teams like Greece 26-2, that'll help pad your stats. (The Greeks also lost 20-0 to Luxembourg and allowed 79 goals in four games. Mongolia withdrew from the tournament giving each team an automatic 5-0 victory.)

Once this Commodore 64 business blows over, our next campaign will be for Pavel Datsyuk to do this during a game.
