Olympic Rink Rip-Off: 3 Feet Short of NHL Standard
NHL stars gear up for Milan-Cortina 2026, but organizers just dropped a bombshell with rinks measuring 196.85 feet long and 85.3 feet wide, shaving over three feet off the league's 200-foot standard. Players like Nathan MacKinnon warn that even a foot less ice changes scoring chances, while Bo Horvat predicts tighter-checking chaos, and insiders whisper about safety red flags despite IIHF's shrug-off.
