FROM PAUL ELSEY – PRESIDENT:
Tuesday night was not a good night at the rink. Mike Riddle had a heart attack on the bench during our pick up skate. Nate McCaughtry was next to him and assisted him . Two people from the lobby came over and gave him CPR. After a couple of minutes they had to use the AED. He then came back to us. Soon after that the EMS showed up. EMS said the two voluteers saved his life by performimg CPR and the AED. So many people called them Angels and I agree.
Also, I spoke with Karen one of our great ladies who does the timekeeping for us.(Rink #2) I have known Karen since the fourth grade and Karen has just been told she has leukemia.
Suddenly refs, subs, and winning doesn’t seem that inportant. I would like everyone in the Sting Hockey Club to keep Mike and Karen in their thoughts and prayers.

Scott Chodun, Rob Giroux and former Detroit Tiger Robbie Grossman lookalike(See Picture Below) sub Rob Aughe also join in the goal fest.
