Outdoor ice hockey threatened by climate change: study
Published: Mar. 05 2012
Source: The Canadian PressCanada's favourite pastime is on its way to being an indoor-only sport in some areas of the country, a new study warns.
The study, released Monday by United Kingdom-based IOP Publishing, says outdoor ice hockey in Canada is being threatened by climate change.
Lawrence Mysak, co-author of the report and a professor at McGill University in Montreal, Que., said warmer winter temperatures caused by climate change is restricting the operation of ice rinks.
"We were able to see that in general, the rinks were being opened later and later over the last... 50 years, and secondly that the length of the season has also shortened by... one or two, sometimes three weeks," said Mysak from his office in Montreal last week.
