St. Louis Blues defenceman Jay Bouwmeester was conscious and alert after suffering a cardiac episode and collapsing on the bench during the first period of Tuesday’s game against the Anaheim Ducks.
The 36-year-old Bouwmeester crumpled over after a long shift and during a break in play. Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said Bouwmeester was awake, alert and moving his arms and legs as he was transported to a hospital. He remained in the hospital overnight and was undergoing further tests.
The game was postponed. Jay played here for Team Canada in the 2003 World Juniors when Halifax hosted.
We wish him a speedy recovery from Hot Country 1035.
