BETHPAGE, Long Island (PIX11) – A teenager died after having a medical emergency during a hockey game in Bethpage Saturday evening, according to Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino.
Connor Kasin, 17, lost consciousness during a break in a hockey game at the Town of Oyster Bay Skating Center around 9 p.m. Saturday, according to the Nassau County Police Department.
Kasin, a senior at Massapequa High School, was on the ice when he had a "sudden medical emergency" and lost consciousness, officials said. Onlookers gave the teenager CPR before he was rushed to an area hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
"His loss is heartbreaking," Saladino said.
The game was part of a charity event in honor of Sabrina Navaretta, a graduate of Syosset High School who died in 2023 at the age of 19. Navaretta died in a car crash, according to her college, the University of Delaware.
