A standard hockey match consists of three 20-minute periods, totaling 60 minutes of actual play. With stoppages, intermissions, and possible overtime or shootouts, the full event usually lasts around 2 to 2.5 hours. Playoff games can be longer due to sudden-death overtime. Factors like penalties, reviews, and pace of play can also influence the total game time.
