Teen saves choking mother

Submitted by Sarah Delage on Sunday, December 8th, 7:09 pm

SACO, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- A family has a lot to be thankful for this holiday season, after a daughter performed life-saving first aid on her mother.

Tobee and Victoria Labbe were about to leave the house Thursday night when Tobee began choking on a piece of candy. Victoria remembered learning the Heimlich Maneuver in school last year and sprang into action. She successfully dislodged the piece of candy so her mother could breathe again.

"I didn't necessarily want to place my 13 year-old daughter in that position to do that," Tobee Labbe said. "But she stepped up and she did it."

This video demonstrates how to perform the Heimlich Maneuver if someone is choking and can't breathe.

(NEWS CENTER) - Biddeford's Brian Dumoulin will get his chance to lace-em up in the show. Dumoulin has been called up to play for the National Hockey League's Pittsburgh Penquins.

Dumoulin has played this season for Pittsburgh's American Hockey League affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

Dumoulin, a 6'4" defenseman, has played in 22 games in 2013 for the Wiles-Barre, recording 1 goal and 5 assists. The stat the Penguins are more likely excited by is the -1 plus/minus. That statistic measures how many goals for their team and against their team the player is on the ice for.

Dumoulin will make his NHL debut Monday night at home, against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
