TUCSON, Ariz. — Tucson Roadrunners captain Craig Cunningham collapsed on the ice and was taken to a hospital Saturday night before an American Hockey League game against the Manitoba Moose.

Arizona Daily Star said the 26-year-old Cunningham, from Trail, B.C., collapsed moments before the game was scheduled to start and appeared to convulse after hitting the ice.

The newspaper said medics cut away his jersey and performed chest compressions before moving him off the ice and taking him to the hospital.

Tucson is the AHL affiliate of the Arizona Coyotes.
