Try a Stat Showdown from the book

Stat Showdown #1

Would you rather play on an NHL rink or a bigger Olympic-size rink?

A · NHL RINK

  • 200 feet long and 85 feet wide
  • Less room means quicker decisions and tighter puck battles

B · OLYMPIC-SIZE RINK

  • Some international rinks have been about 100 feet wide
  • More room for skating and passing
Make your pick, then reveal what the numbers say

It's a tie

For better hockey: TIE. A wider rink gives more room; a narrower one makes space tighter. Pick your style.
