He did live AoA, well according to the comments on Youtube:
"The first trainer that came to his aid, saved his life and had to keep his finger[s] on his throat until he arrived at the hospital. A hero no matter what. "
"Yes he survived. He spent 1 day in the hospital and was back in practice 4 days after this happened. "
"u se that man rushing to him with cloth on his neck?
that man saved his life ... he kept cut closed until medics came and they all said he was the reason he still lived on "
And my favourite:
"It did cut his jugular. fortunately the team doctor was a medic in Vietnam and he actually pinched the jugular together. Had he not had that experience, our goaltender prolly would have died. He later said that he skated off the ice just so his mother wouldn't watch him die on TV. What a badass. "
