Shortly before Friday nights puck drop between the Toronto Marlies and Texas Stars, Marlies assistant coach Rob Davison experienced an undisclosed medical emergency.

Davison was immediately rushed from the visitors locker room of the arena to the hospital. There is currently no update on his condition at this time.

Toronto Maple Leafs General Manager Kyle Dubas issued a statement following the incident, which can be seen below.

The game will not be rescheduled at this time, as players were “in a state of shock and not comfortable proceeding with tonight's game,” per Dubas.

The AHL has since stated the Marlies have elected to “forfeit” the game following the medical emergency.
