Shock at the ice rink
Automatically saved draft
Klagenfurt AC welcomed Fehervar from Hungary on Tuesday for the start of the playoff quarterfinals in the domestic ICE Hockey League. With the score at 1-0 to KAC, there was a huge shock 2:13 minutes before the end of the first period when defender Jordan Murray suddenly collapsed for no apparent reason...
The shock was written all over the faces of everyone in the ice rink! Many were pale as a ghost, some had tears in their eyes – and almost everyone was struggling to compose themselves. The concern for Jordan Murray was enormous – ice hockey took a back seat in the 18th minute of the first quarterfinal duel against Fehervar.
Murray collapsed on the players' bench
What had happened? With the score at 1-0, a referee's whistle rang out through the arena. Moments before, the KAC defender had been standing in front of his own goal, but suddenly staggered towards the players' bench and collapsed at the boards door. Dramatic moments followed: coaches Furey and Fischer administered first aid.
Team doctors and emergency doctor acted immediately
Team doctors Hannes Florianz and Günther Bachler immediately rushed to Murray's aid. Paramedics were also on the scene right away, as was another emergency doctor from the audience – they immediately recognized the life-threatening situation Murray was in and began chest compressions.
Fight for Murray's life
Several people took turns fighting for the 33-year-old's life. After about ten minutes, the scene calmed down. One helper held an IV, while a paramedic administered CPR to the Canadian, who had already been intubated. At this point, Murray's vital signs appeared to be stable again, but he was transported away without regaining consciousness. Hesitant applause broke out to wish the KAC player a "speedy recovery."
Get well wishes from all over Austria
Ice hockey was no longer on anyone's mind. On the contrary, the spectators seemed almost relieved when arena announcer Joschi Peharz dismissed the fans from the arena with a few brief words: "The game is canceled. Please pray for Jordan Murray." Thousands of posts later expressed great sympathy.
The ICE League will decide on Wednesday how to proceed.
