Last night the Toronto Marlies and Manitoba Moose had their game suspended in Toronto due to a very serious medical emergency that had occurred in the crowd. At the time, the game was tied 1-1 heading into the second period.

The fan was attended to by emergency medical services and the latest update is that they were in critical condition. Following the incident, the Marlies released the following statement:

"At Friday night's Toronto Marlies game against the Manitoba Moose, a fan experienced a medical emergency in between the first and second periods and was attended to by emergency medical services. After consultation with both teams and the American Hockey League, a decision was made to suspend the game. The Toronto Marlies and MLSE are grateful to the EMS personnel, and fans, who assisted in attending to the emergency and our thoughts are with the fan affected and their family and loved ones."
