Apr 23, 2012 18:24 ET | The Pats were playing their archrivals, the Theo Fleury-led Moose Jaw Warriors, and were on a 5-on-3 power play.
"You could cut the intensity in the game with a knife," Sauter recalled.
Hornung was driving to the net when Moose Jaw's top penalty killer, Troy Edwards, gave him an extra shove from behind. The momentum carried Hornung past the net and into the boards head first, damaging Hornung's third cervical vertebra and spinal cord.
"It was the first time I'd ever jumped on the ice as a coach. I knew he was hurt bad," Sauter said.
By the time Sauter and the team's trainer got to him, Hornung had swallowed his tongue and had stopped breathing. The trainer grabbed a carpet knife from the overalls pocket of the Zamboni operator and cut an air hole in Hornung's trachea.
"To this day, I swear he was squeezing my hand, even though the doctors tell me it's not possible," Sauter said.
Sauter's voice is heavy with emotion as he describes taking the young Edwards into Hornung's hospital room.
"It was a pretty tough thing to see, both those players talking," Sauter recalled.
Hornung, who is paralyzed from the neck down and is unable to move any of his extremities, recalls nothing of the accident. One of his most vivid memories of that time is during his early days in intensive care. He was watching hockey. | Fun
