The National Hockey League’s first preseason game in the Southern Hemisphere got underway after officials apparently solved some issues with the quality of the ice at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia.
It’s early spring in Australia and the game-time temperature in Melbourne on Saturday was 16 Celsius, or 61 Fahrenheit.
Many of the players on both teams attended an Australian rules football playoff game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday night with nearly 98,000 fans in attendance. Rod Laver Arena seats about 15,000 spectators and sellout crowds were expected for the two games. The venue is more well-known as the home of the Australian Open tennis tournament in January, the first Grand Slam event each year.The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
