GLENDALE --Eight days ago, Craig Cunningham made his return to the ice with the help of his Tucson Roadrunners teammates. It was one more chance to get another part of himself back.
Saturday morning, he was on the ice for the fourth time. And he was doing crossover strides.
"I'm not as fast as I used to be," he said. "It's kind of hard to skate without an ankle but they have made the correct adjustments. Hockey has been my whole life since I was three years old, and to say that I miss it every single minute of every day is an understatement."
