The NCAA rule book contains two suggested layouts for team benches,
penalty boxes, timekeepers stations, etc. Strangely enough, one of
them (benches on opposite side of the rinks) places the home penalty
box right next to the home bench. However, in both of them, whether
the players benches are on the same side of the rink or on opposite
sides, the benches are supposed to run from the blue line to the red
line. Neither team is supposed to have the kind of advantage that
BC enjoys.
