The Tucson Roadrunners honored Tucson Roadrunners captain Craig Cunningham Saturday night in a pregame ceremony in the Tucson Convention Center. Cunningham went into cardiac arrest earlier this season, seconds before the puck dropped in a matchup with the Manitoba Moose.
Fans left the arena that night after the game was postponed not knowing if their captain was going to make it through the night. The Roadrunners’ games the following week were cancelled while people continued to ask questions about Cunningham.
On Nov. 19, 2016, seconds before the start of a minor-league hockey game, Craig Cunningham collapsed on the ice and the training staff quickly jumped into action.
