Norwegian Hockey Teams Set Record After Playing Eight Overtimes

Norwegian teams Storhamar and Aparta set a world record yesterday after playing eight overtimes in a playoff game. The game finally ended eight hours and 35 minutes after the first puck drop.

The original record was set in 1936 by the Detroit Red Wings and Montreal Maroons. That game was the first game of the Stanley Cup semi-finals and needed six overtimes.
