how long does a ice hockey match last?

Answer 1

The official time for a pro team is 3 - 20 minute periods or 60 minutes. However taking time between periods, penalties, overtimes in case of a tie, etc. the game will last a couple of hours or more.

Answer 2

in the nhl..there are 3 20 minute periods..so already thats one hour..then there are 2 20 minute breaks..so that adds up to 1 hour and 40 mins..plus the time used when a referee blows the whistle..when the fans are standing up cheering after a goal..and when people are looking over the tapes to see if it was a goal or not..its usually anywhere from 2 hours and 15 mins to 3 hours. Not in the nhl tho..i wouldnt know..some leagues have 12 minute periods and five minute breaks or something..but thats it for the nhl. Also in the nhl there might be a tie by the end of 3rd period..so they may have to go into overtime which is an extra five minutes..and if there is no score in overtime there could be a shoot out and nobody know when those can end..usually it does not go over three hours though.

Answer 3

There's 3-20 minute periods. There's 4 t.v. timeouts during each period for about 90 seconds each. Also 2-15 minute intermissions between the first 2 periods. An average Hockey game is about 2 and a half hours.

Answer 4

3 periods of 20 minutes clean time, which means that the clock stops every time the play is stopped. minis/welps will sometimes play 4 periods of 15 minutes. so either way, the playing time lasts 60 minutes. then there's usually a 5 minute break and a 15 minute break in between periods.

Answer 5

I'm an NHL season ticket holder and actual game time is 60 minutes (plus possible OT and shootout) but in real time. Assuming it does not go to OT or a shootout I'd say around 2 and 1/2 hours but if it goes all the way to shootout it is closer to 3 hrs.

Answer 6

if u mean a game it depends on the level

in NHL its 3 20min periods

in most hockey association migit (bantam AA as well) its 2 12min periods and 1 15 min periods

in anything lower than that its 2 10min periods and 1 12 min periods

Answer 7

60 minutes

Answer 8

3 periods, 20 minutes each. So, basically 60 minutes, 2 intermissions and possibly a 5-minute overtime.

Answer 9

3 20 minute periods then it can go into 5 minute 4-on-4 overtime then possibly a shootout which can go forever if they don't score

Answer 10

depends. there are 3 twenty minute periods, and then there could be overtime, at 20 mins per period, and there could be shootouts. but generally about 2 and a half hours or so.
