Snow and ice collapsed the roof of the hockey rink in Slovakia right after young players skated off the ice.

According to Telesport, the children were practicing with former NHL player Richard Zednik.

A big snowstorm over last weekend likely contributed to the collapse. Katowice, 40 miles to north of Namestovo, had almost 7 times the normal amount of precipitation so far in January. Areas nearby had 2 to 4 times the normal amount. Early in the month, temperatures were mild, so some of precipitation was rain. Lately, with cold weather, precipitation has been falling as snow.

The good news for cleanup is that there should be no new storms for at least a week. Weather will be dry though much colder than normal.

Namestovo, Slovakia, is in the mountains, around 100km southwest of Krakow, Poland.
