LAKE DELTON, Wis. (AP) — Junior league hockey players sickened by an apparent carbon monoxide leak at a Wisconsin rink over the weekend are taking the day off from practice. Authorities have blamed an ice resurfacing machine for a suspected carbon monoxide leak that sent dozens of people to hospitals Saturday. The leak was discovered after players and others began feeling ill at a Lake Delton ice rink during a game between the Dells Ducks and Ice Hawks from Rochester, Minnesota. Ducks head coach Bill Zaniboni said Monday the player treated in a hyperbaric chamber at a Milwaukee hospital has returned home. Players reported headaches, dizziness and nausea and one player passed out. Ice Hawks President Michael Fatis says the incident makes a good case for a Wisconsin regulation similar to a Minnesota law which requires carbon monoxide detectors at ice rinks.
