Three 20-minute periods of action with two intermissions, one after the 1st and 2nd periods. If the score is tied after this, they play 5 minute overtime period. If they're still tied, they do a best-of-3 shootout. If they are STILL tied, they go to sudden-death shootout.

Hockey is played for three 20 minute periods. In case of a draw, for the regular season, there is a 5 minute overtime period with a possible shoot-out. In the playoffs, the game continues with 20 minute overtime periods until someone scores the winning goal.
Usually, the game lasts 2 and a half hours.

Regulation time is 60 minutes - plus a 5 minute overtime where they skate over time and a shootout after that if necessary. If it is a playoff game, overtimes are 20 minutes and are sudden death.
A typical game lasts 2.5 - 3 hours.
Warning - if you are watching a New Jersey Devils game, it will appear to last much, much longer than 3 hours.

NHL games are 3-20 min. periods, with a 5 min. sudden death OT. Regular season games then go to shootouts and playoffs have continuous OTs.
The league I'm in now does 3-15 min. periods, but I've seen 22 min. halfs, 24 min. halfs, and I even used to score-keep for college roller hockey that did 4-8 min. periods!

3 periods of 20 minutes, so that's 60 minutes pure play time. then there are two brakes, one of 5 minutes between 1st and 2nd period, and one of 15 minutes between 2nd and 3rd period. and then off course the game gets stopped a lot by the referee everytime someone commits an offence, everytime an icing is shot, every time the goalie freezes the puck and every time a goal is scored. and sometimes the play will be stopped for half a minute of a team requests a time out.
so the game can last quite a long time! ;)

Three 20 minute periods, but the clock stops. Overall, a game usually takes about 2 1/2 hours.

A hockey game consists of 3 - 20 minute periods. If there is a tie at the end, a five minute overtime is played. If there is still a tie after overtime, there is a shootout.

Usually Field hockey is 35 minutes each way, with 5 minutes half time, but that depends especially if an ambulance needs to be called or the umpires forget to look at their watches!!

Game time 60 minutes (assuming no 5 minute OT plus shootout)
Real Time: Between 2hrs and 20 minutes to 2 hrs and 45 minutes.

As many others have already said, it consists of three periods of 20 minutes each, plus, in case of a tie, a 5 minutes overtime.
Please note however that the clock is stopped as soon as the play is stopped. You can thus expect 60 - 65 minutes of gameplay, but attending a game can be way more because of game stops.
