A standard NHL hockey rink is 200 feet long by 85 feet wide, which is about 61 m by 26 m.

Quick Scoop: How Big Is a Hockey Rink?

For most pro games you see on TV (NHL, many North American leagues):

  • Length: 200 ft (about 61 m).
  • Width: 85 ft (about 26 m).
  • Total surface area: roughly 17,000 square feet (about 1,580 m²).

In many international and Olympic tournaments:

  • Length: still about 200 ft (61 m).
  • Width: about 98–100 ft (30 m).
  • That’s wider than an NHL rink, so there’s more open ice and a bit more space to skate and create plays.

So if you’re picturing it: think of a rectangle a little longer than an American football field’s playing area (not counting end zones), but much narrower, with rounded corners and high boards all around.
