Rink Dimensions
The International Ice Hockey Federation has confirmed that hockey games at the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics will use rinks slightly smaller than NHL dimensions. The surfaces measure 60 meters by 26 meters, over three feet shorter but a few inches wider than the NHL's 200-by-85-foot standard. All involved parties agree the differences are insignificant and will not affect play.
