Hockey players are on ice in Chestermere, playing a game that started Friday afternoon.
The group are attempting to break the Guiness record for the world’s longest hockey game.
Forty-four players intend to play for 262 consecutive hours, to beat their own previous record.
Chestermere set the world record three times before and raised nearly $4 million for the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation.
Some kids battling cancer presented sticks to the players Friday.
“This is a great opportunity to support the guys as they’re looking to put their bodies and minds through a tough physical test,” said Calvin Yau, who was there with his son Colton. “And I think it’s great that Colton gets to come out and number one meet everyone.”
