Ex-Chelsea, Arsenal GK Petr Cech makes stellar ice hockey debut

Published on: 13 October 2019

The ESPN FC crew debate whether or not Arsenal are good enough to finish third this year.

Arsenal are up to third, and Craig Burley says Unai Emery's side can still go to another level.

Gregg Berhalter explains why he played Christian Pulisic in multiple positions in the USMNT's win vs. Cuba.

ESPN FC's Stewart Robson says there's only one way for Christian Pulisic to get extended minutes.

Fiyako Tomori says he wasn't expecting to make the England squad at the start of the season.

Former Arsenal and Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech made his competitive ice hockey debut on Sunday, helping the Guildford Phoenix win on a penalty shootout save.

The 37-year-old is a big fan of the sport and said he it was a dream to actually play in a game after his retirement from football last year. He signed last week with Guildford, who play National Ice Hockey League South 2.

"It is kind of a childhood dream to come and play one game, which has [now] happened," said Cech, whose penalty save as netminder beat Swindon Wildcats 2 and helped maintain Phoenix's perfect start. "Nobody will ever take this away from me, which is really nice."

Cech wore a custom-made goalie mask adorned with the Union Jack flag on top, along with the crests of Chelsea and Arsenal. 

"If you have a dream and you chase it and you do everything to make it happen... I have done that in football and all my dreams have come true," he added after the 3-2 win. "I said, 'this might be the last dream I was hoping to [tick off]'. But I worked hard for it."

Cech serves as a technical advisor for Chelsea, where he played 10 seasons and won four Premier League titles and the 2012-13 Champions League. After his time at Stamford Bridge, he played an additional four campaigns at London rivals Arsenal before retiring from football last year.
