Former Premier League goalkeeper makes professional hockey debut
For the past few years, legendary former English Premier League goalkeeper Petr Cech has been playing semi-professional hockey in the United Kingdom.
Cech has been a fan of the game of hockey since he was really young and over the weekend, one of his dreams came true as he made his professional debut with Northern Irish club, the Belfast Giants, who play in the Elite Ice Hockey League.
The 41-year-old was loaned to the Giants as the team was dealing with some injury issue and with less than five minutes remaining in their game against the Glasgow Clan, Cech was put in net and made one save as Belfast won the game.
