PNE staff, hockey teammates honoured for saving father, son in cardiac events

Joking, smiling and exchanging handshakes with old friends, new friends and paramedics, the father-son duo used the word “thankful” many times to describe how they felt as they made the rounds in the PNE Agrodome.

In what was a truly remarkable set of circumstances, Harry, 77, and Jayson, 52, both ended up in ambulances in two separate emergencies, almost two years apart on a Wednesday at around the same time of day.In both cases, they had just finished their ice time.

That’s when teammates Michelle Preston, her husband Brad Wilson and Matt Heffring jumped into action, with all playing a part in keeping Jayson alive. Preston is previously trained in first aid and Wilson is a former lifeguard. “His face was blue, his lips were blue,” said Nasr, who then cut off Jayson’s shirt and applied the AED paddles in the corresponding spots.“I was just grateful to see colour coming back into his skin, and he was starting to breathe and then basically two minutes after that, the ambulance showed up,” he said.

“After that, I was kind of like, ‘Wow, what a situation,’” he said. “But I mean I'm working in the same place and they have the same ice time, so it's not like a huge rarity, but pretty slim that would happen .”
