Our weekly selection of hockey moves that leave us scratching our heads. Started back in 1997, HotW was an institution around these parts or years. As research time became more scarce, we let it lapse, but by the grace of a Gordie Hull Hat Trick, it's back!

We don't recommend that any of these feats be attempted at home, nor do we suggest that you promote these fine folks as role models for your children.

For the Week of 12/21/09
Wolmer Edqvist - Hockey Allsvenskan

Given that this is Christmas week, I thought I'd mix things up a bit. Rather than awarding HotW to some knucklehead, I've decided to recognize an anti-Hoser.

This special anti-Hoser of the Week, goes to Swedish referee referee Wolmer Edqvist, who had the presence of mind to administer CPR to Niklas Lihagen of Örebros during a Hockey Allsvenskan match earlier this month.

Lihagen suffered an apparent heart attack after taking a hit during an Örebros game. Edqvist, a trained emergency medical technician, recognized teh situation and began to adminster CPR, saving Lihagen's life.

"I knew we had about four minutes to bring him back to life", the referee told Expressen.

Lihagen was transfered to a nearby hospital via ambulance and the game was suspended.

A Christmas miracle perhaps?
