Western Fair Sports Centre in London, Ont., is usually known as the home of a Jr. B teen hockey club and a minor hockey palace. But this week, it's become headquarters for the World Sledge Hockey championship.
The facility has completed a bunch of renovations that startle. In the main, Olympic-ice rink, clear plexiglass has replaced the solid boards so that sledge players can watch the game when they're in the bench area. We can't say they're on the bench as it has been removed.
Plastic ice sheets line the hallway so players can slide from the dressing rooms to the ice surface.
Great coverage of the tournament - which I expect Canada will win - is available at lfpress.com. London Free Press reporter Deborah Van Brenk (debatlfpress) is tweeting from the tournament tonight. Click here for Deb's video report.
