Outdoor hockey players in Alberta break records, raise $1.8M for cancer research


The world's longest hockey game in Alberta broke multiple records this year. Forty people took turns playing hockey on an outdoor rink near Edmonton during record cold temperatures 24 hours a day, seven days a week since Feb. 4. The teams, named Team Hope and Team Cure, hit the 252-hour mark at about 6 a.m. Monday to break their own Guinness World Record. The game is always played on an outdoor rink on Saik's rural property near Sherwood Park, Alta. Players, who were in an "NHL-style bubble," had to deal with extreme cold weather that persisted for much of the 10 days.
