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.
Cunningham has four goals and nine assists in 11 games this season for Tucson, the Arizona Coyotes’ top farm club.
He was originally drafted 97th overall in 2010 by the Bruins and has appeared in 63 NHL games with Boston and Arizona.
No make-up date has been announced and the league did not provide any further details.

TUCSON, Ariz. — Arizona Coyotes coach Dave Tippett says minor leaguer Craig Cunningham is in critical condition but stable after collapsing on the ice before a Tucson Roadrunners game last weekend.
Tippett said at Coyotes practice on Monday that the team would not comment on Cunningham’s condition any further out of respect for the family.
