Ice Hockey Game Lasts 261 Hours, Breaks Guinness World Record, Raises Funds For Children With Cancer

Ice Hockey is a winter contact team sport played with ice skates on an ice rink. The game is divided into three periods of 20 minutes of playing time each, with a 15-minute break between periods.

Matches can end in a tie unless the rules add an overtime period to serve as a tiebreaker.
