Longest hockey game record

The game went on so long, you have to imagine that even the losing team was just happy it was over. Storhamar defeated Sparta Warriors in an eight overtime game on Sunday in Norway. Joakim Jensen finally ended the marathon with a goal with remaming in the 11th period. Storhamar outshot Sparta in the game. So, nice job by both goaltenders, in other words. How'd you like to make 94 save and lose? Daniel: We did have food and drinks during the breaks. The game went on for roughly eight and a half hours, a new record for longest hockey game ever played.

It featured minutes and 14 seconds of play. The previous record was set in , a game between the Detroit Red Wings and the Montreal Maroons minutes, 30 seconds. The game took so long, the local police had to put out two tweets that loosely translated to their department getting several calls about missing persons who were last seen at the game, only for the cops to tell the callers the game had not ended yet. Hockey players in Alberta set numerous world records during a hockey game that began on Feb.

In total, 40 people participated in the game that took place at an outdoor Edmonton rink through record cold temperatures. The two teams, Team Hope and Team Cure, directed their fundraising efforts towards research at the University of Alberta in what is apparently the seventh edition of this marathon game.

The final score itself was 2, to 2, with Team Hope winning the charity event. The originator of this game is a doctor named Brent Saik who lost both his father and wife to cancer. For straight days, 40 players - known as the "Frozen 40" - took to the ice in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest hockey game played at Buffalo RiverWorks.

In addition, the players taking part, along with other teams playing alongside the group as part of community shifts, were fundraising money for cancer research in Western New York. At around p. Congrats to the Frozen40 who all took part and the funds they raised for cancer research! It feels really great. It's not just an day hockey game.

They prepared all the way from June through, and clearly we were prepared really well. We had minor, minor issues with the players, and here we are with the world record. Both Mike and Amy Lesakowski founded the 11 Day Power Play back in after Amy was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer eight years prior.

While Amy was able to win her battle with cancer, Mike's mother was not so fortunate, as she passed away in following a three-year battle with small cell lung cancer.

From there, the first 11 Day Power Play took place in with a similar format to the event, where 40 players attempted to set the world record for the longest played hockey game. Since then, the local community has been able to take part in the 11 Day Power Play, with a number of community teams coming together and taking to the ice, while raising money toward cancer research in Western New York.

The event is the second time Mike has taken part in the grueling stretch of days playing hockey and living on site as one of the 40 players attempting to set a world record.
