Ice Hockey Rink Dimensions

The game of ice hockey is very specific as the ice hockey players use the ice hockey rink to play their favourite game on. Ice hockey itself is a competing sport which is very popular among especially Canadian people. The ice hockey rink itself is a rectangular with rounded corners and it is usually surrounded by a wall of 1 meter high. This wall is called the “boards” and it protects the ice hockey audience from getting injured by the ice hockey puck.

There are different rules about the dimensions of the ice hockey rink. One is popular and used in North America and another in the rest of the world. The smaller version, which is now popular in North America, is called “NHL” and the one which is used for international play – the Games of the Olympiad.

The Olympics’ dimensions are 61 metres long and 30 metres in width with a corner radius of 8,5 metres and they are used for the international games. The surface of the ice hockey rink is divided by 5 lines marked as “icing line”, “blue line”, “centre red line”, “blue line” and “icing line”. The middle 3 lines mark the 3 zones of the rink and they are the “defending zone” (which is from icing line to blue line), the “neutral zone” (from blue line to blue line) and the “attacking zone” (from blue line to icing line). The 2 icing lines are 4 metres from the end boards and the blue lines are 22,86 metres from the end boards.

Most of the North American rinks follow these specifications: 61 metres by 26 metres with a corner radius of the same size as the Olympic Games – 8,5 m. The distance from the end boards to the nearest goal line is always 3,4 m and the NHL attacking zones are expanded with blue lines of 20 metres from the goal line and 15 metres apart.

The “centre line” is there to divide the ice in half and it is used to judge the team player meaning that if a team sends the puck across the centre line (which is red), blue line and then across the goal line, then it is called by the term “icing”. There are also two “blue lines” which divide the rink into 3 parts or “zones”. These 2 lines are used to judge whether a player is offside or not. In case an attacking player crosses the line into the other team's zone prior to the puck crossing, then it means he is “offside”.

Near each end of the rink there is a thin red “goal line”, which is used to judge goals as well as the icing calls. There are also nine so-called “faceoff spots” on an ice hockey rink. All of them take place at these spots and there are 2 spots in each team's defensive zone, 2 at each end of the neutral zone and only 1 in the centre of the ice hockey rink. There are “faceoff circles” around the centre of the ice hockey and there are also hash marks painted on the ice near the end zone faceoff spots. The circles and hash marks are there to show where players can position themselves during a faceoff.

Both the centre faceoff spot and centre faceoff circle are marked blue. The circle is nine metres in diameter with an outline of five centimetres thick and the faceoff spot is a solid blue circle of thirty centimetres in diameter. All of the other faceoff spots and circles are painted in red colour. Each spot consists of a circle 60 centimetres in diameter with an outline of 5 centimetres thick.

A technical drawing of a building is called an architectural drawing. According to a set of conventions, a building drawing includes a number of views, as well as unit measurements, scales, sheet sizes, cross referencing and annotation. Computer progress had a major impact of the methods of architectural drawing, making manual drawing almost obsolete. Digital drawing software, such as ConceptDraw DIAGRAM , offers a number of tools for each design element: piping plan, floor plan, etc. Any building should have its plumbing and piping plans for every room, that has a water supply. Plans are applied to indicate arrangement of piping system in the building. This diagram presents a suite of standard piping icons for making building plans that include plumbing and piping layout. This diagram was designed using ConceptDraw solution for Piping and Plumbing planning. Using symbols is valuable for making a valid piping plan.
