A local police officer jumped into action to help save a hockey player who collapsed during a game.
An off-duty officer attending a hockey game in Hackensack jumped into action when one of the goalies collapsed and went into cardiac arrest. They regularly undergo CPR and AED training.
But never while off duty, until last night. During warm-ups, the opposing team's goalie collapsed after being dizzy and nauseous. He was alert and conscious, but within minutes, the goalie was not breathing and went into cardiac arrest.
"A person will turn white, almost grey, you know, their skin tone is completely flushed. He was unresponsive, not breathing. He didn't have a pulse and then I quickly started CPR test compressions at that time," Stefano said.
"Gave him another shock and resumed chest compressions, and he shortly came back to us again. He started blinking his eyes and I started asking him, 'What's your name, what's your name?
' He was able to with some trouble, he was able to tell me what his name was," Stefano said. The goalie is recovering in the hospital and is grateful to Officer Stefano for saving his life.
