It's been five years since Ken Carrusca's heart stopped during an Adult Safe Hockey League game at Burnaby 8 Rinks; now he's telling his story to provincial politicians to raise awareness about the life-saving equipment and training that saved him.
This week, he is in Victoria to tell politicians about the reasons he’s still alive – an automated external defibrillator and teammates who knew CPR.
Since being brought back from the brink of death, Carrusca has become an advocate for CPR training and getting AEDs into more places. Carrusca will present a slide show about his experience and about Denise Giammaria who pushed to have AEDs installed at 8 Rinks after her fit, 35-year-old husband, Gianfranco, died there of a sudden cardiac arrhythmia during a hockey game in 2006.
“Getting to see him and hear his story and hear about the time he’s had with his sons that he wouldn’t have gotten if he hadn’t been rescued, it really makes a difference,” said Robyn Jones-Murrell, senior vice president of Western Canada Heart and Stroke. “Without that, it just seems so abstract. You may not know anyone who’s had a cardiac arrest.
