In a hockey game, each period typically lasts for 20 minutes.
there are 5 minutes in between periods.
In a standard basketball game, each player is typically allotted 32 minutes of play time.
In a standard chess game, each player is typically allotted around 90 minutes to make their moves.
I guess because this has been the traditional format of the game. The game is played at such speed and there is so much physical contact that players need two rest periods. I think that some years ago there was an experiment in pre-season games to see if two 30-minute halves would be practical but the idea was ruled out.

Like allotted? As in, "I allotted too much time to answer this question?"
The USA Hockey rule book does not give a specific length, it only states that periods can not be longer than 20 minutes. So it will depend on the level (whether it is rec or travel) and the location of the game. Each state/local affiliate will have their own rules. It will also depend on whether it is a running time or stop time game. From my experience, with an hour long time slot, Mites will normally play 10-12 minute stop time periods or 15 minute running time periods. Stop time games will also sometimes determine the length of the 3rd period based on how much time is left on the curfew. For example a "12/12/half" game would have 12 minutes for the 1st and 2nd period and then the 3rd period would be half of the time remaining on the ice curfew.

Hockey was an amateur game in the 1880's. No one got paid.
In an NHL game, there are three periods, each lasting 20 minutes of playtime. The intermissions between periods are typically 15 minutes long.
Anyone ever been?
