Petr Cech is making the switch from football to ice hockey after the former Chelsea and Arsenal goalkeeper signed for British fourth-tier outfit Guildford Phoenix.
The 37-year-old former Czech international ended his playing career with Arsenal at the end of last season before rejoining Chelsea as a technical and performance advisor in June.
He said he would play for the Phoenix in his spare time.
Cech, who played the sport as a youngster before switching to football, could make his debut for the Surrey-based side Sunday when they take on Swindon Wildcats 2.
Cech spent 11 years as a player at Chelsea, winning 13 major trophies, including four Premier League titles, the Champions League and Europa League, before moving to London rival Arsenal in 2015.
