THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO, Jesse RodgersLUNENBURG, N.S. -- Young players of a Halifax-area hockey team faced off with an unusual opponent as they took the ice for a game over the weekend: a very steep step.
Assistant coach Jesse Rodgers captured the adorable and hilarious scene in a video that has now gone viral. Rodgers said the team played at the rink on Friday, and the coaches helped the players onto the ice. But they watched as the other team -- who were more familiar with the rink -- step onto the ice without any trouble.
Rodgers said the clip he posted to Facebook has been viewed nearly 85,000 times, while reposts of the video have garnered hundreds of thousands of views on social media. It was picked up Sportsnet and the popular hockey podcast Spittin' Chiclets, which has 542,000 followers on Instagram.
