How long is the ice hockey field?
A pro hockey rink is 185 x 85 feet.
Marcy
All NHL rinks are 200 x 85 feet. The old Boston Garden and Chicago stadium were shorter, but that is no longer allowed. Olympic rinks are 200 x 100 feet.
Jim
An inline hockey rink is 185 x 85 ideally, but minimum size is 145 x 65 for most national and state championships. There is no exact size because of the many different sanctioning bodies of the sport. It lacks the leadership that the NHL, NFL, or NBA provides their respecting sports. For ice hockey rinks, Jims answer is almost perfect. North American rinks (NHL) are 200ft x 85ft. However the rest of the world uses metric so a more accurate 30m x 61m is the Olympic rink size as well as the size for most leagues over seas.

In total there are about 15 African Americans who have been drafted by or played in the NHL. (Val James, Mike McHugh, Donald Brashear, Mike Grier, Gerald Coleman, Dustin Byfuglien, Francis Boullion, Kyle Okposo, Greg Mauldin, Robbie Earl, J.T.

Some historians place the roots of hockey in the chilly climes of northern Europe, specifically Great Britain and France (Canada), where field hockey was the most popular summer sport more than 500 years ago. When the ponds and lakes froze in winter, it was not unusual for the athletes who dreamed of the sport to play a version of it on ice. Origins: In 1825 Sir John Franklin wrote that "The game of hockey played on the ice was the morning sport" while on Great Bear Lake during one of his Arctic expeditions. In 1843 a British Army officer in Kingston, Ontario, wrote "Began to skate this year, improved quickly and had great fun at hockey on the ice."

Who was the first player in NHL history to score 50 goals in 1 season?
Joseph-Henri-Maurice "Rocket" Richard was a professional ice hockey player, and played for the Montreal Canadiens from 1942 to 1960. The "Rocket" was the most prolific goal-scorer of his era, achieving the fabled feat of 50 goals in 50 games.
Maurice Richard was the first to score 50 goals in one season (the 1944-45 NHL season), doing so in 50 games, and the first to score 500 goals in a career. He finished his career with 544 goals in the regular season, with 82 in the playoffs which included a record six overtime winners (only matched by Joe Sakic), and led the league in goals five times. He also amassed 421 assists for a total of 965 points in 978 games. 50 goals in 50 games continues to be a marker of scoring excellence to this day, and few players have surpassed that mark.
What do you wear when you are iceskating?
When you are ice skating you ware skates, gloves, a scarf, a jacket, sometimes snow pants not always, and warm clothes. It also depends on how cold it is you can take off layers as you go.
I have been iceskating for about 2 years now. I usually go iceskating indoors, so I just wear a sweater, but sometimes I don't even need that. If you don't want blisters or if you don't want your feet to hurt, you should wear thin tights. (If you're a girl)
I have been iceskating for almost 3 years. I go to the indoors iceskating rink every Friday. You should definitely wear gloves, because your hands get cold really fast, and if they are cold for too long, they will start to feel like they are burning. Also you can't put your hands in your pocket, because it's really hard to balance that way. You should also wear a sweater, and a jacket. If you get too warm, you can take your jacket off and tie it around your waist. Trust me you won't have to take off your sweater most of the time, because it's very cold in the indoor skating rinks. I've had experience. What i would suggest to wear on the bottom would be pants that you can move easily in. You don't want to go in jeans that you can barely even sit in. I usually go in stretchy jeans.
A lot of people say to wear scarfs, but it usually just gets in your way.
No, really. You should bring a sweater, but if you work hard, you'll take it off!
What were the origanal six hockey teams?
