'There's no hiding': Former Red Wing Larry Murphy enjoying upstart, up-tempo 3-on-3 league

Don't blink.

That's probably the best piece of advice we can offer if you're checking out the upstart 3ICE hockey league, which takes arguably the most exciting aspect of NHL games — overtime's 3-on-3 — and plays full games with that format. The league is in its third week, and on Saturday, arrives at Grand Rapids' Van Andel Arena.

The league plays a weekly tournament and features six teams, one of which is coached by Larry Murphy, a former star defenseman who won four Stanley Cups as a player in the 1990s, two with the Red Wings.
