As the Toronto Marlies headed off on their annual Toronto Boat Show road trip, they were forced to leave one of their more interesting prospects behind at home. More on that later. Once arriving in Cedar Park, Texas, things went from bad to worse as 39-year-old assistant coach Rob Davison suffered a “prolonged grand mal seizure” right before warm ups on Saturday.
Kyle Dubas, Laurence Gilman, Greg Moore, and the leadership group on the Marlies then decided to forfeit from the game as the players and staff were experiencing shock and discomfort in having to play after such a scary incident for all involved.
