Erin it Out: The Story of Craig Cunningham

Roadrunners captain Craig Cunningham has continued his difficult path to recovery after collapsing on the Tucson Convention Center ice prior to a November 2016 game.

Treated for what was called a cardiac rhythm disturbance, doctors went to great lengths to save his life immediately following the episode.

Cunningham fought his way out of the hospital, and he’s remained around the Arizona Coyotes’ minor league affiliate since.

Now, he’s set to be honored by the Coyotes on Fan Appreciation Night this Saturday.

Here is Arizona Sports’ Erin Maloney on Cunningham’s life-threatening evening and the road to recovery that followed.
