Army hockey coach Brian Riley credited a team trainer with saving the life of forward Eric Huss, who suffered a severe neck injury caused by a skate during a game at Sacred Heart University.
Huss, a junior from Dallas, Texas, caught an inadvertent skate to the neck in the second period of Army’s 5–0 loss to the Pioneers in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on Jan. 5. Trainer Rachel Leahy rushed into action and took measures to control the bleeding, team officials said.
