What is the average length of time an ice hockey player plays during each play?

"play" in hockey is more commonly referred to as a "shift." in hockey, a good shift is between 30-45 seconds long. to those that dont play the game it seems short, but it is actaully long because it is close to a dead sprint for the majority of that time. anything oer that time is a great advantage to the other team because of fatigue.- masta v

Opposite of neath?

O'er, or oer...as in: "O'er the ramparts we marched..." a line from The Star Spangled Banner, the U.S. National Anthem. Just as "neath" is an abbreviated, antiquated--still used in poetry, songs, etc.--version of "beneath," "o'er is its opposite, to replace "over." Neath/Beneath/Under vs. O'er/Over/Above. Got it? I don't have time to do the etymology right now; but it is probably available in the Encarta World English Dictionary,--my recommendation as one of the best references available today--either online version or hardback (what I use mostly) which is found at a greatly reduced price at bookstores, probably online sellers as well due to the advent of online research. I wouldn't be without it. BTW, I'm a former teacher of English, published writer; degreed in field. My offhand choice for origins of "neath/o'er" would be the United Kingdom. ----
