The World Cup circuit awaits its first ice hockey match this season

Today’s planned ice hockey match between athletes and officials from the U.S., Canada, France and Switzerland had to be cancelled. The ice was too soft and the match was postponed to tomorrow, Wednesday, to avoid damaging the rink.

Playing ice hockey is a favorite pasttime of the World Cup circuit. But so far this year the athletes and officials could play neihter in Val d’Isère nor overseas which is why the anticipation was even more intense. Some of the team members already played some yesterday. Pictures of yesterday’s training can be seen in the section Video.
