MacGlashing, 32, a five-year veteran of the Rye Fire Department, was working Jan. 3, but used a few hours of his personal time to participate in a weekly hockey game with his brother, Jesse MacGlashing, 37, and acquaintances at the ice arena in Rochester. During the game, a 52-year-old man collapsed on the ice, just a few minutes before their rink time was to end at 11 p.m.
