Ice hockey is the U.S. fastest growing sport.
Developed in Canada, ice hockey is an old sport with modern appeal, featuring fast paced thrills, intense energy, tough competition, and strategic plays. Each hockey game consists of three 20-minute periods. A tie results in a five-minute sudden death overtime. If no team scores during overtime the game ends in a tie. If a player is penalized, he will be sent to the penalty box for a duration of time and will not be replaced by another player.
