[Clownquestion]

Per the Coyotes release:
Coyotes reveal forward Brett MacLean suffered a cardiac emergency last night in Owen Sound while playing hockey.

I hope he's OK. That has to be terrifying, especially when you're young. You aren't really expecting that sort of thing.

#Coyotes‬ Brett MacLean is in stable condition and remains in I.C.U. He will undergo further tests to determine cause of his collapse.

[drgregg]

Great to hear, he is young and strong, hope he rebounds and returns to health. Thoughts to his family and friends during a trying time.

Spoke with Brad Treliving tonight.... Brett is in stable condition in a London area hospital. The next 24-48 hours are critical for his recovery.


It happened rather quick. He was playing a men's pick up game with Chris Minard and Mac just collapsed on the ice. They needed to use an AED and he was transported to an Owen Sound hosipital and later he was airlifted to London, ONT.


The Coyotes found out when Chris contact his brother and Pirates' goalie coach Mike Minard who informed Treliving.


I'll know more tomorrow.

Very good news to hear. Obviously it would be great if he still had a hockey career but right now I could care less about that, I hope the guy can recover and be healthy. I remember him from Oshawa and I'd end up watching him more than Tavares.
