Video: Roof collapses on Slovakian hockey rink

Found January 24, 2012 on Larry Brown Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Richard Zednik
TEAMS: Florida Panthers

From Larry Brown Sports:

The roof of a newly-constructed ice hockey rink in Slovakia collapsed over the weekend because of the pressure from a snow storm. Former NHL winger Richard Zednik was training with some youth players at the hockey rink, which is in the Hotel Altis in Trstena, Slovakia, when the roof started to cave.

Zednik described the scene as “full of fear and panic.” Luckily Zednik and the other adults managed to get everyone off the ice before the roof caved, which only took 33 seconds. It appears that nobody was hurt.

Police have begun investigating the reasons for the roof’s collapse.

Bad luck seems to follow Zednik, who sustained a life-threatening injury when he was cut by a teammate’s skate in the throat during a February 2008 game. He played one more season in the NHL after recovering from the injury and recorded 33 points for the Panthers, including this spectacular airborne goal against the Islanders. The 36-year-old is still playing hockey in Europe.

The video is actually very similar to what happened when the Metrodome roof collapsed in Minnesota last football season.

  • The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, we dont need the roof let the mother jumper burn is what the skaters would rather have said, but they did not get a chance because the roof fooled them, and came tumbling down on them in true vindictive roof fashion, and oh with such passion, and the people below it was a smash'n.. The roof came down while it was screaming every breath "I am tired of bird sh-t, construction workers cigarettes, and the hot sun baking me,and the snow freezing me, and the rain drowning me, I just want to come down and squash the inhabitants below, because if it was not for humans making me a roof I may have had a better life, as an inside wall or something"....and the roofs final words were "damn you humans, feel my wrath".. All that can be said is hibbity dibbity bop, and a pee pie po pop!!!!
