Zednik survives collapsing roof

It was a close call for Richard Zednik.

In a report Monday, the former NHLer was on the ice in Námestovo, Slovakia training with some young hockey players moments before the roof of the arena collapsed. The ice rink couldn't support the weight of snow, causing the roof to cave in.

The video shows Zednik taking shots on the goaltender and a few seconds later the roof of the building begins to collapse as the players are just getting off the ice.

Zednik played 745 games, amassing 379 points over 13 seasons with the Washington Capitals, Montreal Canadiens, New York Islanders and Florida Panthers.

He is most notable for sustaining and surviving a life-threatening injury during a February 2008 game between the Panthers and the Sabres in which Olli Jokinen's skate sliced his external carotid artery.
