In a moment害羞草研究所檚 notice, people have to make the right decision to save someone else害羞草研究所檚 life.

That moment happened for Kelowna Rockets forward Ty Hurley in the middle of their eight-game road trip in the Prairies.

Hurley and some of this teammates were waiting in the lobby of their hotel in Strathmore, Alta. when something caught his eye through the window to the pool.

What he saw was a fully clothed man bobbing in the water and eventually submerged. A hotel employee tried to talk to the man but never jumped in.

The 19-year-old knew he had to do something.

害羞草研究所淎t this point, I decided I害羞草研究所檝e got to do something here. This isn害羞草研究所檛 right,害羞草研究所 Hurley recalled. 害羞草研究所淚 took off my shirt and leaned over the edge (of the pool) and grabbed him by his shoulders and ripped him out of the water. He was probably under there for at least 30-40 seconds. I got him out of there, flipped him on his back and he wasn害羞草研究所檛 breathing at all. It was pretty scary.害羞草研究所
