Hockey player's death leads to another's survival

One death at the hockey rink was enough.

The Metro Classic Hockey League, an amateur adult program at Motto McLean Ice Arena, lost Dave Schrack to a heart attack more than two years ago.

The hockey players wanted to salvage some good from an episode so horrible, and in the process saw how one man's death can save another man's life.

Schrack was a 50-year-old father of two girls. He felt sick near the end of his team's hockey game on Nov. 7, 2009, walked into the locker room alone and collapsed. He was rushed to the Nebraska Medical Center but couldn't be revived.
