Three weeks after suffering cardiac arrest while driving to practice, McFarland High School boys’ hockey head coach Brian Campbell sent a text to athletic director Paul Ackley Thursday morning (Feb. 26) before an all-school assembly and told him that he is “not out of the woods yet” but that he is up and about and doing well.

Ackley shared this news with students and staff at Thursday’s assembly.

Campbell, 57, was in critical condition at St. Mary’s Hospital’s intensive care unit for several days after the incident. He is still hospitalized.
