A proposed law would require that high school athletes have annual heart exams.

"Connor's Law" is named after Connor Kasin, a Massapequa teen who died in November while playing ice hockey.

"If it was already a law, my son would still be here," said Mary Kasin, Connor's mother.

More than seven months after Connor died, Mary and Craig Kasin now hope a new bill passes that would require annual heart exams for student athletes in New York public schools.

"He went to the doctor all the time, he had his physical, he did the extra sports physicals, and this wasn't found, so we need it to pass," said Mary Kasin.

Connor had a heart condition that he and his family didn't know about.

Assemblyman Michael Durso, from Massapequa Park, is sponsoring Connor's Law.

"EKG, or echocardiogram, obviously, just to make sure that your heart is healthy and able to participate in sports safely," said Durso.

Connor was playing in a benefit hockey game at the Town of Oyster Bay skating rink when he collapsed on the ice. His parents and lawmakers hope this bill will help save other student-athletes.

Dr. Sean Levchuck, a pediatric cardiologist with St. Francis Hospital, says Connor's Law would help reach more kids.

Connor's parents hope the bill becomes law by the end of this year or early 2026.

"This needs to be done. If you save one kid, worth it. Well worth it," said Craig Kasin, Connor's father.

A companion piece of legislation would require insurance companies in New York to cover those tests for kids at least once year.
