Marlies assistant coach in stable condition after suffering seizure

Toronto Marlies assistant coach Rob Davison, who suffered a medical episode prior to his team's game Friday night, is in stable condition and has been discharged from the hospital, the Maple Leafs announced Saturday.

Davison, 39, suffered a prolonged grand mal seizure in the locker room with the players and staff present. He was transported to a local hospital where he was kept overnight for observation.

The incident prompted the team's leadership group, including Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas, to forfeit the AHL contest against the Texas Stars.

Davison will return to Toronto on Saturday and will remain away from the team indefinitely on medical leave.
