The shooting took place at the Route 91 Harvest festival on the Las Vegas strip.
According to Brian Joseph of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Nick Rabone was in attendance at the show along with his brother, Anthony, who as a paramedic helped stabilize him before he was brought to the hospital.
The 28-year-old has been with the UNLV hockey team for the past three seasons after a successful career in roller hockey. He was an NCRHA All-American and played professionally before converting to coaching in roller and eventually ice hockey.
The Rebels' next game is scheduled for Oct. 6 against Utah.
