Former NHL forward Richard Zednik is an ambassador for hockey in his native Slovakia. He was in Námestovo on Sunday, skating with youth players inside a rink that opened last November, when something absolutely catastrophic and quite horrific occurred.
Ice pieces began to fall from the roof as the training session was ongoing. With Zednik and the children cleared from rink, the roof of the skating facility collapsed under the weight of ice and snow. The collapse happens around 33 seconds into the following clip,

That part of the video where it looked like someone was traveling down a large tunnel? That was the roof covering the boards and the stands in the rink. And yet no one was injured, according to several reports.
