Average EMS response time hit nearly 16 minutes, say Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte
Don Brinklow was facing down a breakaway at the Deseronto, Ont., arena when he felt a “little flick” in his chest.
It was September 2014 and he was playing goalie in a hockey game between two area fire departments.
Brinklow said he was later told he collapsed, making a spectacular “TSN moment” save as he fell. He has no memory of the save, though, because he had suffered a heart attack.
Luckily there were firefighters on the ice who knew CPR and used an arena defibrillator.
