A hockey game is played over three 20 minute periods where the clock is stopped every time the referee blows his whistle - so the action lasts a full 60 minutes. There is a break between periods. What happens when there is a tie after 60 minutes has varied/still varies across leagues - some leagues leave games tied, some leagues play an overtime period of 5, 10 or 20 minutes and some leagues have penalty shoot-outs.

The familiar four sided game clock was first seen in the National Hockey League in the 1930-31 season.

A penalty that disqualifies a player for the remainder of the game. A game misconduct is usually awarded for fighting or abuse of an official.

The game record sheet contains the following information: date and venue of the match; level of competition; team lists; with starting lines indicated; times, type, scorers and assists of goals; start and end times of penalties, name and offence; period scores; netminders' shots on goal statistics; name and signatures of the referee, linesmen and other match officials (timekeeper, penalty timekeeper and goal judge). The game record sheet is often printed on several layers of carbon paper, since copies have to be lodged with the governing body, the referee and the clubs involved in the match.

See Timekeeper

We have been asked on a number of occasions - "How is a game winning goal determined?" Here is a scenario - Boston beats Florida 3-1. The scores go 1-0, 2-0, 2-1 and 3-1. Which Bruins goal is considered the game winner? The 2nd Bruins goal is the Game Winning Goal because the Panthers only scored once. The first goal is the Go Ahead Goal, the second goal won the game and the third goal was the Insurance Goal.

Designer of the first rink with an artificially frozen ice surface in 1876. It used the freezing process developed by Raul Picet and W.W.Ludlow's rotary engine and pump. His designs were also used for other rinks built at the same time, one in Northumberland Avenue, London and another was in Rusholme, Manchester, England.
