GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Arizona Coyotes have hired Craig Cunningham as a pro scout and say he will assist with player development.
General manager John Chayka announced the two-year contract Wednesday that allows Cunningham to remain in hockey.
Cunningham collapsed on the ice with a cardiac disturbance prior to a game Nov. 19 while playing for the American Hockey League's Tucson Roadrunners and required emergency life-saving care. He had part of his left leg amputated and saw his playing career end.
But the 26-year-old who was captain of the Roadrunners last season says he's excited to start the next chapter of his hockey career in the Coyotes' front office. Chayka called Cunningham a "smart, hard-working player with an incredible passion for the game" that he believes will translate to his new job.
