Hi
 
 I've been to 6 or 7 hockey arenas and am wondering about the location of the
 players benches and penalty box.  At MTU, we have the Tech bench and the
 penalty box on one side and the opposing team on the other side.  As far as
 I remember, the other arenas have the benches next to each other and the
 penalty box across the ice.  I was wondering if there is an advantage to
 either way (dissadvantage, too).  All I thought of is Tech's players in the
 box don't have to skate across the ice at the end of the penalty.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Kris
