The ice is broken in the ice hockey World Cup game between Germany and Norway. That is why the referees saw themselves forced to react.
Unusual scene in the third World Cup game of the German national ice hockey team: In Herning in Danish, the duel with Norway had to be interrupted shortly before the end of the first third-due to damage to the ice.
Three minutes and 27 seconds could still be played in the first section when a complete block on the gang suddenly broke out of the playing area. The referees did not hesitate long and decided to prefer the third break. At that time, Germany led 2-0.
Tim Stützle, who prepared the 1-0, was surprised: “I have never experienced anything like this,” said the striker at Magenta Sport Pro7 and added: “But that happens. I hope we have good ice masters.”
The ice quality in the Jyske Bank boxing was already a topic at the first tournament games. Again and again holes had formed in the ice, several players expressed criticism of the state of the playing area.
