I recollect something about this in Division III, but I can't recall the
exact circumstances.  I do know that when the Soviet Selects played Team
USA (under Shawn Walsh, no less), the games were played in two 30-minute
halves (a TV concession).  By the end of the periods, the snow was so deep
that scoring was almost an impossibility.  It got very boring!  On the
good side (for the 25-minute halves) the ice seemed to deteriorate the
quickest after the 25-minute mark.  None the less, I would sure hate to
see Division I hockey go to this format!
