Teen rescues two boys who fell into an icy lake in Pennsylvania

Tweet

Shawn Miller was playing ice hockey with his friend Cory Hemberger in Pennsylvania about 11 days ago when he heard the screams for help from a 13 year old boy who fell through the ice and was in danger of freezing to death while by his friend was trying to save him by reaching him with his hand. I would call Cory a guardian angel of the 13 year old boy whose name was not mentioned cried for help as well as his friend who was trying to rescue him since Cory acted on his knowledge to use his hockey stick to get the 13 year old boy from drowning in the icy lake. Tim Miller who is the father of Shawn was watching the events of the boy struggling to stay afloat in the icy lake from his truck nearby when he called 911 to send help to rescue the 13 year old boy. Cory must have had a guardian angel looking out for him since he admitted that when he used his ice hockey stick to rescue the teen and his friend since the ice where he was standing was ready to break and take him into the icy water. However he was able to save both boys as well as himself when first responders came to give them some medical assistance. Both boys are in good spirits despite being exposed to the cold elements of the icy lake. Lisa Hemberger who is the mother of Cory learned about the rescue of the two boys on Facebook the next day admitted they she proud of her son who not only is a great ice hockey player, he is also a hero. The post on Facebook came from the mother of one of the boys that Cory rescued in the icy lake. Ice hockey sticks can be used as life savers as well as hitting an ice puck in the skating arena.
