 Team Canada arrived in Moscow for the final four games at the Luzhniki Ice Palace , accompanied by 3 @,@ 000 Canadian fans . Not long after starting practices in Moscow , Team Canada players Vic Hadfield , Rick Martin and Jocelyn Guevremont left the team and went home for what they felt was a lack of playing time . Team Canada used its practice @-@ time in the Dvoretz Sporta to learn the differences of the Russian rinks . While there had been concern about the wider ice surface , what was most strange to the Canadian players was the fish @-@ netting draped at the ends of the rink above the boards instead of glass . Considered " in play " , the netting was strung tight , and a slap shot to the netting could catapult the puck back as fast as the original shot .
