This article describes health damage to ice hockey players during a match at the ice stadium in Rychnov nad Kněžnou in December 2012. A number of local investigations and air quality tests were conducted at the stadium. All match participants were interviewed and the medical records of all injured parties were examined despite the fact that according to doctors the event comprised acute inhalation trauma. Direct connection is apparently debatable because the affected hockey players failed to seek medical assistance immediately but only after some time following the event.

Keywords: indoor air - pollution, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ice stadium
