Wellington ice hockey showdown between US and Canada cancelled

June 24, 2018
Former Ottawa Senators goalie Chris Driedger spoke to 1 NEWS ahead of tonight's match at Vector Arena.

The Ice Hockey Classic match between the US and Canada in Wellington today has been cancelled due to wind issues.

The latest setback comes after the match was initially postponed yesterday due to a pipe containing liquid that is used to freeze the ice bursting.

Westpac Stadium said that wind issues mean the event had to be cancelled today due to health and safety reasons.

In a Twitter post today the stadium said that "more information regarding refunds will be updated shortly. We apologise to all ticket holders."
