A Saskatchewan hockey player who was injured by an ice skate that nearly sliced open his jugular vein is recovering at home and says he’s grateful to be alive.

Cole Cusitar, a player for the Churchbridge Imperials, told The Epoch Times that if the skate cut had been about an inch lower he “might not have been having this conversation.”
