NHL Player Revived After Seizure On Bench
The Associated Press
Fear gave way to relief at Joe Louis Arena when Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jiri Fischer collapsed on the bench during a National Hockey League game and was revived after his heart stopped.
Fischer suffered a seizure Monday night, just moments after leaving the ice on a shift change following a goal by the Nashville Predators' Greg Johnson.
The arena fell silent as medical personnel rushed to the bench when the Red Wings frantically alerted officials to stop the game. CPR was administered by team physician Dr. Tony Colucci before the 25-year-old native of the Czech Republic was removed on a stretcher.
"They hooked up the auto defibrillator and shocked him," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said.
