In fact, that is how ties are settled in Canadian amateur hockey (when a winner is needed). A 10 minute OT is played right away (without resurfacing), and then if the game is still tied they resurface and start playing 20 minute periods again. << You're absolutely right --- I've played MANY a Midget A travel games where the ice was resurfaced only at the START of the 3 hour game --- resurfacing, IMHO, is *NOT* an issue.
