Hello everybody! With next season about to start I've been getting a lot of questions about how big the ice needs to be in an arena, so here's my quick explanation I've been sending everyone.

NOTE: Your ice rink does not need to match these to a "T" but rather follow these like a guideline. Our hockey league works like baseball, where home teams can have different sized rinks. However, I would recommend making your arena slightly bigger rather than smaller, since the default size is a little small.

Basically, you have a bunch of snow under a sheet of ice, with red wool as lines and such.

Looking from above it, imagine the a goal at the top of the oval and a goal at the bottom of the oval. Basically, your first line of ice is 8 blocks wide, followed by 12 blocks wide, followed by 14 blocks wide, then 16. The first line of sixteen is where you put your first red wool line all the way across the oval.

From there, the rink stays consistently 16 blocks wide until it gets down to the other goal. After your first red line, you go down 9 blocks then put in a blue wool line, or just fill this line in with water like we did. This is the offside line.

Go down another nine blocks from there and you're at the other offside blue line. The center circle is in the middle of this zone.

Then another nine blocks after the second blue offside line and you're at the second red wool goal line for the other goal. Once you make the 16 block wide red wool line, you go down in width the opposite way you did before, so 14 blocks wide, then 12, then 8.

I hope that's not too confusing. I still plan on uploading a blueprint sometime soon.

There's also a few images of hockey rinks on the server you can see to get an idea of what it's like:
