Ex-NHL Player Craig Cunningham Skating on Prosthetic After Losing Leg in 2016

Craig Cunningham, who nearly died after going into cardiac arrest before an AHL game in 2016, has returned to skating with the use of a prosthetic leg.

Cunningham, who lost part of his leg after going into ventricular fibrillation and collapsing while a member of the Tucson Roadrunners, posted a video of himself skating Wednesday.

The 28-year-old was the 97th overall pick in the 2010 NHL draft to the Boston Bruins and played for the organization in the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons. He also played for the Arizona Coyotes in 2015-16.
