This happened near me at a rink I play at. Just awful.
There's not much info on exactly what happened yet and I hate speculating but this should be a reminder and teaching experience for rinks and people.
Given his age, the likely cause and theory was an arrythmia due to some underlying condition. They tried CPR to no avail, no mention of a defibrilator being used, which might've saved his life.
Every rink really needs to tighten up prodecures on locating/getting AED and using it properly and promptly.
