16-year-old Cory Hemberger was playing hockey(冰球) on the frozen Lake Afton with his friend when he heard screams for help. A 13-year-old boy had fallen through the ice and his friend was trying to reach him. “He was screaming for help. His friend tried to help him and he ended up going in with him,” said Cory.
He rushed towards the two with his hockey stick. “I was kind of just in the moment. My adrenaline(肾上腺素) was going. My heart was beating fast, so I just went for it and just hoped God was with me,” Cory said. Cory said he heard the ice cracking under him, but was able to get the two boys out without falling in by using his hockey stick.
Cory’s mother, Lisa Hemberger, didn’t learn what had happened until the next day when she saw a post on Facebook. “Not all superheroes wear capes(斗篷), some play ice hockey,” the post said. Lisa said: “I’m like, Oh, my kids play ice hockey, let me look at that.”
She soon realized the message was posted by the mother of one of the boys that Cory had saved. She reached out to the mother Amanda to say it was her son Cory who saved the boys. But she said she didn’t need anything in return. “She wanted to just thank me for his heroic efforts, and that her son’s okay, and without Cory being there she doesn’t know what would’ve happened,” Lisa said.
