AHL's San Diego Gulls honor Cunningham with helmet decal

The hockey world runs in small circles.

Prior to Wednesday's AHL match between the San Diego Gulls and Tucson Roadrunners, the Gulls unveiled a "14" decal on their players' helmets, honoring the jersey number of Roadrunners captain Craig Cunningham, who collapsed earlier in November.

Cunningham remains in a Tucson hospital and is in critical but stable condition.

The Gulls are the farm team of the Anaheim Ducks, while the Roadrunners are the minor-league affiliate of the Arizona Coyotes.
