Scary stuff, reminds me of that Russian KHL player that died on the bench a few years ago

First Letang and now Peverley. Having witnessed the devestating effects of both stroke and cardiac arrest. Hopefully they can recover to live normal lives.

There are also at least several other players who experienced heart issues while on active duty.

Difficult situation for players who know they have cardiac issues. They must know they could have a serious episode at any moment, especially during a practice or game when they are working their bodies so hard.
