2 teams of 20 played for 241 continuous hours, raising $300,000 for pediatric cancer research
A group of hockey players at an outdoor rink just east of Edmonton has finished the world's longest game, breaking a record they set twice before.
To blaring rock music and the cheering of several hundred Family Day spectators, the two teams of 20 broke their former record just after 1 p.m. MT Monday. They kept the game going for 241 straight hours — more than 10 days of continuous hockey.
The final score, which organizers said was far from accurate — Team Cure had 2,250, while Team Hope had 2,223
Very cool!
Or, well, very cold -- being Edmonton in the winter :)
But yes, its a great event for a worthy cause. As the score -- 2200 points against is gonna kill the goaltenders goals-per-game statistics!
