Regel 77: Game and Intermission Timing

The time allowed for a game shall be three (3) twenty-minute (20) periods of actual play with a rest intermission between periods.

Refer to DEL Regulations.

For the purpose of keeping the spectators informed as to the time remaining during intermissions, the Game Timekeeper will use the electronic clock to record length of intermissions.

If any unusual delay occurs within 10 minutes of the end of the first or second periods, the Referee may order the next regular intermission to be taken immediately.
The balance of the period will be completed on the resumption of play with the Teams defending the same goals after which the Teams will change ends and resume play of the ensuing period without delay.
