How long is a standard NHL ice rink in North America?

A standard NHL ice rink in North America is 200 feet long.

NHL rinks use a playing surface that is 200 feet long and 85 feet wide. The dimensions are part of the North American rink standard and create the familiar proportions used in arenas across the United States and Canada.

The rink is divided by a center red line and two blue lines into three zones: defensive, neutral, and attacking. The goal lines are positioned near each end, and the rounded corners help the puck remain in play during board battles. The playing surface is enclosed by boards and protective glass.

NHL dimensions differ from the larger international standard used in many IIHF competitions, where the rink can be wider. The length is therefore not the only meaningful rink measurement, but 200 feet is the canonical North American figure. A standard rink is 85 feet wide, not 100 feet wide.
