Craig Cunningham is back on the ice.

The Arizona Coyotes welcomed Cunningham back to Gila River Arena on Saturday, where the club will honor him prior to their game against Minnesota for the "tremendous courage, willpower, and perseverance he's demonstrated throughout his rehabilitation" after collapsing on the ice as a member of the AHL's Tucson Roadrunners.

Part of Cunningham's leg was amputated as a result of an acute cardiac arrest, ventricular fibrillation, and he was recently seen walking without assistance for the first time since the incident.

This latest step is another inspirational development along Cunningham's road to recovery, and his time with the Coyotes may not be over quite yet.
