6 days. The 1980 Winter Olympics held in Moscow had 24 men's hockey games, with each team getting three matches. That's 72 total hours of hockey.
The longest game in history was played on February 21, 2000 between the New Jersey Devils and the Colorado Avalanche at the Continental Airlines Arena in Denver, Colorado. It lasted 6 hours and 52 minutes before the Devils won 4-3 in overtime. The game featured 13 goals and was not decided by a single goal. Paul Coffey of the Avalanche received attention for a fight he started in the third period that ended up being the last one of the night. There were over 100 fights during this game alone.

This game went all six periods without a stoppage due to time checks, penalties, or injuries. It ended up being 5-1 New Jersey winnini

The NHL, like other professional hockey leagues such as the European Leagues and the AHL, has 60 minutes of playing time. The game is broken into three 20-minute segments. The first and second periods are separated by a 17-minute interval. If the game is tied, there is an additional 5-minute overtime period. If the score remains tied after overtime, a shootout determines who wins.
In Europe, games usually last 35 minutes with 10-minute breaks between each period. In North America, the third period is often shortened to 3-4 minutes because fans want to see more action on the ice.
During the regular season, there are two games per day, with a few exceptions (such as Christmas Day). Most teams play at least 42 games and some go as many as 48 or 49. The longest game in history was played by the Portland Winter Hawks and Boston Bruins on March 13, 1960. It lasted 16 hours & 46 minutes - an average of about 3 hours and 50 minutes per game. The winner was determined by a shoot-out after both teams were tied 4-4.
The average salary for an AHL player is $60,000. A few players make more than this, while others make much less.
The best way to learn more about the league is to watch several games.
Each NHL game has 60 minutes of play time divided into three 20-minute segments. The league also requires a 17-minute interval between the first and second periods to flood and ice the rink and give the players a chance to recover. During this time, the benches clear but there are no coaches' challenges or stoppages for injury treatment.
The third period starts immediately after the end of the second period or at 10 minutes before game time if there is still time left on the clock. A new player can enter the game during these last 10 minutes of play.
In addition to the regular season, each team plays two games per month in the playoffs. These games are usually scheduled to start within 24 hours of each other and are played over several days. The winner of each series is determined by taking the higher-seeded team - subject to change based on performance - and playing a best-of-seven series. The team that wins four games moves on to the next round while the loser goes home.
In case of a tie game, a shootout decides the winner. This five-player match consists of one attacker and one defender from each team against each other. The objective is to score more goals than your opponent. If still tied, another shooter will be chosen until someone gets a chance to win.
