The new 3ICE touring hockey league has launched its inaugural season and will make its first stop in Canada this Saturday, July 16, at Budweiser Gardens in London, Ontario at 3:00 p.m. ET.
3ICE has crafted its rule-set to keep the action going at all times. Each event has all six 3ICE teams playing through a mini-tournament, with each game consisting of two, eight-minute periods using a running clock on a full-sized (NHL sized) rink. The clock stops only for penalties and injuries. No one goes to a penalty box, instead, penalties all result in a penalty shot.
