Daily News | Flyers legend John LeClair is back in hockey as a coach with 3ICE, a new pro 3-on-3 league
The NHL debuted a revamped overtime in 2015, instituting a five-minute, 3-on-3 format in regular-season games that were tied through regulation. By giving skaters more space on the ice, the league presented teams an increased opportunity to score and end the game before reaching the shootout.
3ICE will begin its inaugural season on Saturday in Las Vegas, with LeClair trading in his familiar spot on the bench as a 16-year NHL veteran for a position behind it. Hockey Hall of Famers Guy Carbonneau, Grant Fuhr, Joe Mullen, Larry Murphy, and Bryan Trottier round out the roster of 3ICE coaches. The six-team league, which features six skaters and one goalie per squad, will make eight stops across the country through Aug. 6.
Each game is made up of two eight-minute periods with a running clock that stops only for injuries and penalties. 3ICE has rules in place to keep play moving, like restricting teams from passing the puck back to their goalie to make a line change. Once a team crosses the blue line with possession, it can’t retreat past center ice to regroup. If the puck deflects into the netting and back to the ice, play continues.
There are three rounds per site that consist of six games total — a three-game opening round, two semifinal games, and a championship game.
