A pro hockey rink is 185 x 85 feet. Marcy All NHL rinks are 200 x 85 feet. The old Boston Garden and Chicago stadium were shorter, but that is no longer allowed. Olympic rinks are 200 x 100 feet. Jim An inline hockey rink is 185 x 85 ideally, but minimum size is 145 x 65 for most national and state championships. There is no exact size because of the many different sanctioning bodies of the sport. It lacks the leadership that the NHL, NFL, or NBA provides their respecting sports. For ice hockey rinks, Jims answer is almost perfect. North American rinks (NHL) are 200ft x 85ft.
