We had our own "Miracle on ice" here yesterday.

Remarkably, no one was injured when a large part of the roof collapsed at the Rostraver Ice Garden in Westmoreland County Sunday afternoon.

It happened after one game ended and before the next youth hockey game started. No children were on the ice at the time of the collapse.

Had it happened during the game, there's no telling how many would have been injured or killed.

Me again. An employee heard the rafters (wood) cracking and they hustled everybody out of this ice rink. Not ten minutes later a 100 by 200 foot section of the roof right in the center of the ice collapsed.

Youth teams from the area, from Erie, and from Canada were here for a tournament.

Thank God no one was injured.
