An SO is a Shootout. Games go to shootouts if after three full periods and an overtime is played and the game is still a tie
Technically, there isn't one. Hockey games are played in three 20-minute periods.
Three 20-minute periods are in a regulation Hockey game, and a possible 5-minute to 20-minute overtime.
The first of 3 even amounts of time in a hockey game. Hockey has 3 periods per game. It is usually called the 1st period, not period one. Technically an overtime counts is a period, which means games can have an unlimited number of periods. I think the record for an NHL game is 6 overtimes, or 9 periods.

Hockey was first played at the 1998 Commonwealth Games.
Sixty minutes. A hockey game consists of three twenty-minute periods. If the score is tied at the end of the third period, the teams play a five-minute sudden-death overtime period. If neither teams score in the overtime, the game ends as a tie. In the playoffs, games cannot end in a tie. So instead of a five-minute overtime, a playoff game has an extra 20-minute sudden-death overtime period. If neither team scores, then there is another 20-minute overtime, and so on, until someone scores. There was a Detroit-Montreal game in 1956 that went to the sixth overtime, finally ending at 176 minutes 30 seconds--almost as long as three ordinary games! Detroit scored in the sixth overtime to win the game 1-0.
It means Games Played In.
Hockey was first played in the Olympics in 1908.
Yes, but not if the games goes into a Shoot-out. Shoot-out goals do not count towards a hattrick.
In the Olympics, there are four events: men's field hockey, women's field hockey, men's ice hockey, women's ice hockey. The first two are played during the Summer Games; the latter two are played during the Winter Games.
The Oddset Hockey Games were played in February 2012 over the course of three days. Within these three days, 6 games were played amongst various countries.
