Good Afternoon Andrew: Ice hockey is played in 3 20 minute periods for 60 minutes total in a game. In the regular season if the game is tied after 60 minutes they play a 5 minute sudden death overtime. If at the end of those 5 minutes the score is still tied they go to a shoot out based on 3 innings (they did that just to confuse people! <g>). This is when a player is one-on-one with a goaltender. I think they do this in score for a penalty shot in soccer (you say football?) and they also do this in ice hockey when a player is obstructed and is denied a reasonable scoring chance at anytime the referee deems it appropriate. Mostly it is ignored! In the playoffs they play consecutive 20 minute periods until some one scores. The record is 6 20 minute OT periods for almost almost 9 full periods of hockey. My program handles 7 OTS... So the little hash marks are minutes (count 20 between the red period lines), the red long lines are the periods and the long black lines are goals that were scored. The green rectangles are when the player is on the ice and the red x's are when the player is in the penalty box. Each one on the green rectangles is called a shift and can be approximated by its length as to how long the shift lasted. The small black vertical bars are short shifts that don't occupy enough time to be shown in green. There is a scaling issue with this graphic. The full length band is the goaltender who is on the ice all the time except when there is a delayed penalty or he is pulled to give the attacking team 6 skaters in stead of the usual 5. BTW, in the supplied example, both instances are shown. Confused? I know I am! I don't think the game is girlie as there is checking and injuries do result. Next year the NHL will have the season start in London. You may enjoy the game! Regards,
