ROUGH CUT- NO REPORTER NARRATION
STORY: Former NHL player Richard Zednik and a Slovak youth ice hockey team had a close escape when the roof of the newly-opened rink they were training on collapsed under heavy snow on Sunday afternoon (January 22).
Young players were on the ice with Zednik at the Altis Hotel in Namestovo when parts of the ceiling started to fall.
Everyone fled from the rink as huge cracks appeared in the roof before it crashed down.
Nobody was injured.
It was the Slovakia-born Zednik's second brush with death after his neck was slashed by another player's skate in February 2008.
