Prince William Ice Center roof collapses

"The Prince William Ice Center on Dale Boulevard began sagging under the weight of heavy snow Saturday, with skaters inside.
The building at 5180 Dale Blvd. [Dale City, Va.] is a total loss, owner Bill Hutzler said. Skaters practicing inside had been evacuated before the collapse and no one was injured."

This was awful news. The one time I did play ice, I played it there. It was a wonderful facility. I can only hope the owners had a strong insurance policy, and I’m thrilled to hear the evacuated everyone safely.

That reminds me of a hockey rink collapsing in Roanoke about 15 years ago or so because of heavy snow. It served as an ECHL rink and they had to cancel and readjust a bunch of games because of it.

Thank goodness no one was physically hurt here.

OT Hockey 2/8

by Rather Bengt about 22 hours ago 328 comments

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland. There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium. Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow. This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
