Huss was cut by a skate that sliced him in the neck and jawbone area and Leahy jumped into action to help control the bleeding before medical personnel could take control of the situation. While he was recuperating at the hospital the next day, Huss credited Leahy with saving his life. Photo by Mady Salvani/Army Athletic Communications
