Hockey Arena: Time, Measurement, and Geometry

⏰ Hockey Game Time Structure

The zamboni glides across the pristine ice, leaving behind a mirror-smooth surface. The Blizzard Bears hockey team is about to face their biggest challenge yet! Let's learn about hockey time.

🏒 Regular Game Structure:

Periods

Minutes Each

Total Playing Time

Game Time Formula: 3 periods \times 20 minutes = 60 minutes

🎯 Intermissions (Breaks Between Periods):

2 intermissions of 15 minutes each
Total intermission time: 2 × 15 = 30 minutes
Complete game time: 60 + 30 = 90 minutes

🐻 BLIZZARD BEARS

⏰ 15:42

🐺 ICE WOLVES

⚡ Power Play & Penalty Time

When a player gets a penalty, their team plays with fewer players:

Minor Penalty (Minutes)

Double Minor (Minutes)

Major Penalty (Minutes)

🏒 Player Shift Timing:

Hockey players take short shifts to stay fresh:

Average shift length: 1 minute
Shifts per period: 20 ÷ 1 = 20 shifts
Total shifts per game: 20 × 3 = 60 shifts

📏 Hockey Rink Dimensions & Geometry

The ice rink is a perfect rectangle with rounded corners, just like the arena above! ⬆️

200

Length (Feet)

Width (Feet)

17,000

Total Area (Sq Feet)

570

Perimeter (Feet)

🧮 Area Calculation: Length \times Width = 200 \times 85 = 17,000 square feet 📐 Perimeter Calculation: 2 \times (Length + Width) = 2 \times (200 + 85) = 2 \times 285 = 570 feet

🥅 Goals and Face-off Circles

🎯 Hockey Goal Dimensions:

Goal Width (Feet)

Goal Height (Feet)

Goal Area (Sq Feet)

⭕ Face-off Circle Geometry:

There are 9 face-off circles on the ice:

Radius of each circle: 15 feet
Diameter: 15 × 2 = 30 feet
Remember: The diameter is always twice the radius! 🔄

🔵 Circle Formula: Diameter = 2 \times Radius

📦 Rectangular Rink Properties:

The hockey rink is a rectangle, which means:

4 right angles (90-degree corners) 📐
Opposite sides are parallel and equal ↔️
Length sides: both 200 feet
Width sides: both 85 feet

🧊 Zamboni Ice Resurfacing Math

The zamboni must cover the entire rink surface to make it smooth for the players!

Zamboni Width (Feet)

Passes Needed

2,200

Total Distance (Feet)

🚜 Zamboni Calculation: Rink width \div Zamboni width = 85 \div 8 \approx 11 passes Total distance = 11 passes \times 200 feet = 2,200 feet

📊 Captain Maya "Ice Lightning" Patel's Stats

Let's analyze the scoring pattern of our star player over the last 12 games!

Goals (Games 1-4)

Goals (Games 5-8)

Goals (Games 9-12)

Total Season Goals

⚡ Goal Scoring Pattern: Games 1-4: 2 + 1 + 3 + 0 = 6 goals Games 5-8: 1 + 2 + 1 + 3 = 7 goals Games 9-12: 0 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 5 goals Season total: 6 + 7 + 5 = 18 goals

🏒 DATA ANALYSIS RESULTS 🏒

Most productive stretch: Games 5-8 (7 goals) 🔥

Difference: 7 - 5 = 2 goals between best and worst stretches

🏆 Hockey Arena Math Practice Worksheet

Time to put your hockey math skills to the test! Solve these problems from the Ice Storm Arena.

⏰ Hockey Time Problems

Problem 1: A hockey game has 3 periods of 20 minutes each. How many total minutes of playing time?

3 × 20 = minutes

Problem 2: If there are also 2 intermissions of 15 minutes each, what's the total time at the arena?

Playing time: 60 minutes + Intermissions: 2 × 15 = minutes

Total time: 60 + = minutes

Problem 3: Emma played 8 minutes 30 seconds in the 1st period and 7 minutes 15 seconds in the 2nd period. How much longer did she play in the 1st period?

8 min 30 sec - 7 min 15 sec = minute seconds longer

📏 Rink Measurements Problems

Problem 4: A hockey rink is 200 feet long and 85 feet wide. What's the area of the ice surface?

200 × 85 = square feet

Problem 5: What's the perimeter of the hockey rink? (Distance around the outside edge)

Perimeter = 2 × (length + width)

Perimeter = 2 × (200 + 85) = 2 × = feet

Problem 6: Face-off circles have a radius of 15 feet. What's the diameter of each circle?

Diameter = 2 × radius = 2 × 15 = feet

🥅 Goals and Equipment Math

Problem 7: Hockey goals are 6 feet wide and 4 feet tall. What's the area of the goal opening?

6 × 4 = square feet

Problem 8: The team has 24 players and each needs 3 total sticks (1 main + 2 backup). How many sticks total?

24 × 3 = total sticks

Problem 9: If each stick costs $50, what's the total cost for all sticks?

sticks × $50 = $

🧠 Hockey Brain Busters!

Challenge Problem: The arena has 12,000 total seats. Last night's attendance was 9,850 fans. How many empty seats were there?

Total capacity - Total attendance = 12,000 - 9,850 = empty seats

Super Challenge: The zamboni is 8 feet wide and the rink is 85 feet wide. How many passes must it make? (Round up to the nearest whole number)

85 ÷ 8 = passes needed
