BRAINERD, Minn. (AP) -- The father of a 14-year-old Minnesota boy who collapsed while playing hockey says his son died from heart defects.
Mike Schoonover says the medical examiner told his family that the death of his son, Patrick, wasn't due to any hits he took while playing for an Eastview Youth Hockey team in Brainerd on Friday. Mike Schoonover says those heart defects never showed up in any physicals.
