Royal tour: Prince William's luck runs out in street hockey

Having beaten his wife in a dragon boat race, the Duke of Cambridge clearly felt he was on a winning streak when he decided to take penalties in a game of street hockey yesterday. Children welcome the royal couple to Yellowknife.

By Gordon Rayner, Chief Reporter in Yellowknife 12:13 a.m. BST 06 Jul 2011.

But the Duke’s luck ran out when he faced 6ft 3in goal-minder Calvin Lomen, as he failed to hit the target with any of his three shots.

Prince William joined teenagers playing street hockey, or «shinny» in Yellowknife, the capital of Canada’s vast Northwest Territories. After he and his wife were presented with red Canada ice hockey tops with «Cambridge» and the numbers 1 (for the Duchess, naturally) and 2 for the Duke, he joked with 20-year-old Mr Lomen: «You realise you’ve got to let one in»! Then he tried to outfox the goalie by telling him «top left corner» before going for the right, but all three shots were either saved or went wide. The Duchess, meanwhile, said:

«I would have taken a shot if I wasn’t wearing high heels», as she restarted the game by dropping the ball for a face-off.

The Royal couple was experiencing the sights, sounds and traditions of Canada’s native peoples after arriving in Yellowknife on the sixth day of their tour of the Commonwealth realm.

Around half of the region’s population of less than 44,000 has Aboriginal heritage, and members of the Inuktitut and Chipewyan tribes were among those who welcomed the Royal couple to the regional capital. Drummers performed on caribou-skin drums, joined by dancers from the Inuvialuit tribe.

Then teenagers demonstrated Arctic sports including the «Alaskan high kick», which involves balancing on one hand and kicking a target. The Duke did not fancy his chances at the high kicking, but he did try the street hockey in a break in the game at the Somba K’e civic plaza overlooking Frame Lake. The Duchess, wearing a cream linen dress by Malene Birger, a Danish high street designer, told a player: «I’m not used to the cameras, there are so many»!

The regional government presented the Duchess with a platinum and diamond pave brooch in the shape of the region’s official polar bear logo, made from 4.5 carats of diamonds mined locally at the Diavik mine. The Duke was given a pair of cufflinks to the same design.

Later the couple was due to take a float plane to a Ranger station at Blatchford Lake Lodge, a remote outpost used for surveillance patrols. The couple will fly to Slave Lake in Alberta today to meet rescue workers who fought wildfires that devastated the area last month.
