Instead of raising the roof, a youth ice hockey team had to run away from it.
The roof of the newly-opened rink they were training on collapsed under heavy snow on Sunday afternoon.
Young players were on the ice with Former NHL player Richard Zednik at the Altis Hotel in Namestovo when parts of the ceiling started to fall.
Everyone fled from the rink as huge cracks appeared in the roof before it crashed down.
Nobody was injured.
It was the Slovakia-born Zednik's second brush with death after his neck was slashed by another player's skate in February 2008.
