Humidity is bad news for an ice rink. It’s worse news for an ice rink that’s hosting its first NHL game in a few days. Shanghai, China, is notoriously humid in the summer, and in the middle of a stretch of rainy days, it’s having an effect on the Los Angeles Kings and the Vancouver Canucks.
The teams ventured onto the ice in Shanghai for the first time today in advance of their game on Thursday (4:30 AM Pacific), and the Canucks and Kings both got caught in quite a bit of fog as they went through their paces.
