How long does an ice hockey match last?

Answer 1

The regulation playing time of a hockey game is 60 minutes divided into three 20 minute periods with ten minute intermissions. Between stoppages in play and commercial breaks, a game will usually last between 2 1/2 - 3 hours in real time.

Answer 2

A hockey game consists of traditionally three period of twenty minutes each. In the NHL if a game is tied after regualation, it goes to one five minute sudden death overtime period of four skaters each, and then goes to a shootout.

Although in NHL Playoff hockey, Overtime periods are Sudden Death full periods with 5 on 5 play.

Answer 3

Olympic Ice Hockey games run the same length as NHL games: 3 twenty minute periods with 2 ten minute intermissions.

A game can run as fast as 90 minutes, or as long as 3 hours, in some cases.

Three 20 minute periods plus two ten minute intermissions equals 80 minutes.
