I guess because this has been the traditional format of the game. The game is played at such speed and there is so much physical contact that players need two rest periods. I think that some years ago there was an experiment in pre-season games to see if two 30-minute halves would be practical but the idea was ruled out.

Guy Lafleur of the Montreal Canadiens won the Art Ross Trophy in 1978.

If its for PS2,first you push around a player and when the wistle blows whenever, keep pressing circle if the player you pushed around is in front of you. Eventually everybody will give you and the player some space to share differences.

On NHL 2k10 for wii, to get in a fight all you have to do is hit, push, or nudge a player... same if they do it to you. Then at the top of the screen it might say " START FIGHT" when it says that press the minus (-) button.

You don't get the hat back.

A broken stick is left on the ice because it's a penalty to use it, and a dropped, but still in-tact stick is sometimes left on the ice because picking it up will put its owner out of position so they wait for a good opportunity to grab it.

Sidney Crosby and Team Canada won the World Junior's Gold in 2005.

The Chicago Blackhawks play Chelsea Dagger when they score because they chose that to be the song to play when a goal is scored.

The first goalie mask worn full time was in 1959 by Jacque Plante in the NHL. It was a homemade fiberglass mask similar to the one worn by the character Jason Vorhees in the movie series Friday the 13th. Other masks had been used for a short time on and off before then but were usually masks from other sports, such as the fencing mask Elizabeth Graham used in 1927. In the 1970s the goalie mask changed into a cage/helmet combination which is still used by some lower level goalies (high school, college, recreational, etc) and has evolved into the fiberglass or Kevlar masks with a built in cage used by most goalies today in the NHL.
