... found five more that have heart problems. But since they've done everything but retrofit the Zambonis with defibrillators, maybe we won't have another tragedy over there.

Claim to Fame, Minnesota: the resolution on the video is terrible, but I’m reasonably certain that at the 3:15 mark, in the background, you can see current (for now) ...
