The Real Miracle on Ice

Available for over a year

Craig Cunningham suffered a heart attack on the ice, just before the start of the national anthems at an AHL game. Cunningham was resuscitated by firefighters, who were performing ahead of the match and was quickly rushed to hospital. Whilst in hospital, Craig contracted an infection. In order to save his life, the doctors had to amputate his leg. Craig continues to recover from his surgery and amputation. He no longer plays hockey professionally but occasionally plays with friends via the aid of an adapted prosthetic leg. He now works as a scout for the Arizona Coyotes.
