Hockey Teams To Replay Game From 1999?!?

John Menner, Catholic Central’s principal, led the players in prayer.“Both teams kneeled down on the ice in front of the net, shoulder to shoulder, and joined together to pray for Kurt,” Turner said. His white jersey was blood red.“There was an aura of concern in that arena,” Santello said. Between 1994 and 1999 one team or the other won the Class A hockey state championship.Trenton captured the title three times; Catholic Central, twice.In 1999 the teams met twice during the regular season. Catholic Central left Trenton’s league, the divisions changed and the two teams no longer play in the state tournament.Catholic Central ended it season 29-1-1, with its only loss and tie to Trenton, Turner said.The human interest elements of the story just keep adding up, making it clear this is not just another game that didn’t finish. TRENTON — Hockey is a big winter sport in this city, but the focus right now is on a 1999 game that brought near tragedy to the home ice.Fox Sports is coming to town to film a “Replay the Series” program on the 1999 Trenton vs. John, the Catholic Central coach, and the referees were talking as they were waiting for an ambulance to arrive.Additional bleachers had been brought into the ice rink to accommodate the anticipated crowd, he said.The bleachers had to be moved so the gurney could get into the rink.The Rev. “It went dead quiet. Trenton won the first game; but when Catholic Central showed up to redeem itself on the ice, the game was never finished.The contest ended unexpectedly in a tie with about four minutes left to play when player Kurt LaTarte was seriously injured.“There were four minutes left and one of our players, Andy Green, hip checked a Catholic Central player,” Turner said.When the Catholic Central player was checked, he somersaulted and his blade went into the air, as LaTarte went by. The blade caught LaTarte in the throat, said Bob Santello, Catholic Central athletic director in 1999, who was at the game.“The kid went down, the puck went in the other direction and everyone followed the puck,” Santello said.LaTarte moved to the bench and had a towel thrown at him.Then, the team’s trainer was waving her hands and screaming and no one knew what was going on at that moment, Turner said.Then they saw LaTarte. Catholic Central hockey game.The match ended in a 4-4 tie with about four minutes unplayed.It was so much more than just a hockey game between two rivals, said Mike Turner, Trenton High School hockey coach.It was the human element — ultimately how players and fans pulled together in a life-threatening crisis — that went way beyond in that game. It’s so much more, he said.Turner received a call about a month ago from Fox Sports inquiring about the game.It turns out that LaTarte had seen the first episode in the fall about an unfinished football game that was replayed, went on the Web site and suggested the hockey game, Turner said.Fox Sports producers were in town last month, and then were heading off to Texas to interview for another potential story, Turner said.“The nice thing about this story is it just fills what Gatorade (the show’s sponsor) is trying to do with this series,” said Aaron Babicz, Catholic Central’s athletic director.There is a tremendous emotional element that grew out of this story, he said.“It was a pretty serious thing these young men witnessed,” Babicz said. It shows these kids are into more than winning and losing.”Also, one player from each of those teams now plays in the NHL, Turner said.Andy Green, who hip checked the Catholic Central player whose skate blade caught LaTarte, is with the New Jersey Devils, and David Moss, who played for Catholic Central, now plays for the Calgary Flames.LaTarte, who recovered from his injury in time to finish the 1999 high school season with the Trojans, is married and lives in Oakland County.He will be one of the former Trojans back to participate in the replay game. “The impact goes way beyond sports.“One of the nicest things is how both teams and coaching staffs prayed together for that young man’s recovery. Some say what happened was akin to a miracle.The hockey teams for Trenton and Catholic Central high schools were in a heated rivalry in the 1990s, he said. “It was a huge rivalry and now they were on the ice praying for Kurt’s life.”That game was not only the end of the regular season play, but it also cooled the rivalry.Trenton didn’t make it to the playoffs that year. Both teams kind of huddled on center ice.”Parents of three players came to the aid of LaTarte — David Wolfe, a physician; Alec Lesko, a paramedic; and Leslie Zancanaro; a nurse, Turner said.They saved LaTarte’s life, he said.“The coincidence that they would be in that rink at that time was miraculous,” Turner said.Turner said he, Gordon St.
