After more than 10 straight days of gameplay, 40 hockey players in Alberta have broken the record for the world's longest game, beating their own record.
Now, a decade after their first world record, the players have set a new record after 261 consecutive hours of gameplay that began on March 31 and ended on April 11 at the Chestermere Recreation Centre in Chestermere, Alta. The 40 players were split into two teams of 20, with each person playing four hours on the ice before taking four hours off."Your feet swell almost two to three sizes, both my knees are blown, my hips are blown, my back is blown" he said. "We have folks with staph infections now just from all the sweating and all the gear. It was daunting."
