Hockey legend Lanny McDonald says he wouldn’t be alive today if it weren’t for a Calgary policeman who resuscitated him after he collapsed from a cardiac arrest in February this year.
“To be able to come here today, I owe my life right there to Jose,” said Mr. McDonald, referring to Constable Jose Cives of the Calgary Police Service. The Hockey Hall of Fame forward, 71, was speaking at a Calgary Police Association fundraiser on May 31 where he paid Constable Cives a surprise visit.
