The object is for one team to get the hockey puck past the other team’s goaltender and into the net. A regular game consists of three 20-minute periods, with a 15-minute intermission after the first and second periods. If a tie occurs in a game in the medal rounds, a sudden-victory overtime period is played. During the gold medal game, a 20-minute, sudden-victory period is played. In the event of a tie after a sudden-victory period, a game-winning shoot-out determines the winner.http://www.vancouver2010.com/olympic-hockey/additional-information/about-the-sport_145940Tv.html
