Monday, 21 November 2005

A player with the NHL's Detroit Red Wings Jiri Fischer has collapsed while sitting on the bench in the first period of a game between Detroit and the Nashville Predators. CPR began at once and an ambulance has just arrived on scene.

Latest details suggest that Fischer had taken a puck to the neck or was accidentally hit by a stick while sitting on the bench.

Fischer's wife is in attendance at the ggame and has been escorted across the ice to her husband's side. He is on a stretcher and awaiting being taken to the nearest hospital emergency but remains in the arena at this time.

Update:

Officials had stopped all ice action as soon as it was apparent there was a medical emergency in the building. The packed ice arena continues to be quiet and serene.

Fischer is a 25 year-old defenceman from the Czech Republic and was drafted by the Red Wings in 1998.

Latest reports state that Fischer is currently being transported to hospital and is breathing on his own at this time.

oh wow, they are saying that they will not resume play until the ambulance returns.

shows you how tight-knit these guys are.
 
Just tuned in to the game, why are they showing the fans? Couldn't they do something better with this time while waiting for another ambulance instead of moving from fan to fan in the stands?
