    No snark zone…via ChatGPT: Hockey’s use of three periods instead of quarters or halves is largely due to historical development and the unique needs of the sport. Here are a few reasons:

    1. Historical Development: The game’s early rules evolved differently from other sports like basketball or football. Initially, hockey games were played in two halves, but as the game evolved, it shifted to three periods. This change was made to allow more rest for players and better ice maintenance.

    2. Physical Demand and Ice Maintenance: Hockey is a fast-paced, high-energy sport that is physically demanding. Having three periods allows players more rest intervals, which can be crucial for maintaining the intensity and safety of the game. Additionally, the ice surface can deteriorate quickly under constant play, so the additional break allows for better ice maintenance.

    3. Strategic Elements: The three-period format adds a unique strategic element to hockey. Coaches and players get two intermissions to adjust their strategies based on the game’s progress, which can make for more dynamic and engaging gameplay.

    4. Tradition and Uniqueness: Over time, this format has become a traditional and distinguishing feature of hockey, setting it apart from other team sports that use halves or quarters.

    Thus, the use of three periods in hockey is a combination of practical considerations, historical evolution, and the desire to maintain the unique character of the sport.
