Ice hockey one of the world's most
popular sports this sports is usually
played indoors so what happens when you
put ice hockey onto a football pitch
let's find out
hi guys welcome to another episode of
ultimate bucket lists and my day starts
at 6 a.m.
tried to get a ryanair flight to Cologne
Germany now getting from colognes
Airport to Cologne itself is fairly easy
I actually managed to get into town see
the Cathedral and was met with an army
of hockey fans this hockey fans that
have arrived from all over Germany and
all over Europe and they're all trying
to get to the game at the same time this
is the cue to actually try and get onto
the train and I actually had to wait for
three or four trains before I could
actually squeeze onto one of them sadly
this is what it's actually like on a
German train on match days there's
plenty of people that are arrived here
at the Rhine energy study on there's
some Romans here for some reason I'm not
entirely sure why they're here but
there's plenty of people here and
believe it or not this is actually two
and a half hours before the actual game
starts the stadium fills up and it's
pretty surreal because that's actually a
hockey rink
so yeah the dudes kind of
wolf game at the moment
which is which is going to see something
too awesome action
about a couple of hours early for the
game mainly because traffic was well you
know the trains were a little bit
painful
being outdoors watching hockey Burt
as usual I'm such slap-bang in the
middle of all the way fans I have a
tendency to buy a ticket in the wrong
area of the stadium as I support the
corner higher the colored shocks and
these are all Dusseldorf fans this is
how cologne decides to start the game I
mean look at that display on that stand
thousands of people waving those banners
that's amazing whilst Kalou starts the
game like this
the Dusseldorf fans do this which is
actually kind of cool
now whilst I'm trying to film the
düsseldorf fans this happens oh yeah
they scored within the first 45 seconds
listen to how well these fans actually
are
so what you don't see in the video is
that they're actually playing in strong
winds and rain and the conditions are
tough so chances are rare and this is
probably the best of a bad bunch and
then they go and score another one
- no - the archenemy at this point in
time cologne they definitely look dead
and buried
so they better do something quick
otherwise this is going to turn into a
bloodbath but as night fell and the
temperatures dropped the play improved
the fact that it also stopped raining
definitely helped as all the skaters
skated a lot quicker the passes became a
bit more accurate and cologne definitely
need to do something to get themselves
into the game again and then this
happens they score finally they actually
score third period they actually get a
foothold in the game and they need to
score bloody quick and not let
düsseldorf back into the game oh wait
hang on this looks like trouble
oh come on boys that was close
that was almost a goal and that pretty
much would have been dead and buried if
they left that dole in but as time
expires and there's ninety seconds left
on the clock they really really need to
do something to pull it out of the bag
and then this happens goal cologne oh my
goodness they've actually tied the game
with less than 90 seconds on the clock
listen to the crowd
yeah we definitely approve of that one
so it's over time
let's resurface the ice and let's see
what happens next
now the next goal wins and cologne
should have really won the game here
they took their chances and
unfortunately they missed Dusseldorf
took their chances and unfortunately
they score game over your shadow me as
wanted you can't win them all
unfortunately but it's been an amazing
atmosphere you have to admit this is a
pretty surreal watching an ice hockey
game outdoors you get to meet plenty of
fans all of whom are very very lovely
and overall I highly recommend that you
do this once in your life if you ever
get a chance to do so either here in
Germany or over in the US ok knit I'm
sold what do I do
well you've got to keep an eye out for
tickets they usually play this either
every year or every two years and you
can purchase the tickets from the home
team's website tickets actually not too
bad I paid about 40 euros for mine and
that was actually quite a decent seats
in the corner if you are going to be
buying stuff like food and souvenirs be
prepared to be stuck in a crowd pretty
much like this and believe not that over
there is the queue just use the toilet
is there anything else I need to know
yes wrap up warm because you're outside
and you're outside for a long periods of
time it's freezing so wear plenty of
layers and if you have enjoyed this
