Right. My bad

 

Zakopane also held the Nordic WCh twice but it's not going back there anytime soon. There's still only one road from the nearest airport in Krakow and well, it's notoriously jammed all year. I bet if you took a bus from Kosice you'd get to Zakopane faster than from Krakow :lol:

The oldest Ice Hockey video footage, Thomas Alva Edison himself filmed this the 24th February 1898 in New Jersey

 


Everyone wearing hats, it was the age of politeness. :old:  Goal keepers (not shown) wore top hats & white goves.
