I've seen in some other threads that the season is going to consist of 32 games, but what is going to be the length of each game and is it going to be a double header style like PIHA?

The games are indeed going to consist of two halves, At the major level, they will play two 15 minute stop time haves and the minors will play two 12 minute stop time halves.

Each division will have the duty of scheduling and playing 32 games , but each division could differ a little from the next. In the Northeast, for instance, we have a proposal on the table that we play 5 home events and 5 away events (each consisting of a doubleheader for both major and minor). That would leave us with 12 games remaining to be played and we are looking at scheduling a couple of super regional weekends, jamborees, or whatever you'd like to call them to finish off the schedule. The possibility exists that you could theoretically play 6 different opponents during each of those weekends. We are in hopes that if this is the chosen path that some out of division teams will be able to participate, therefore giving us a unique chance to face an opponent who you may otherwise not normally play during the regular season.

We will have a clearer picture next week as August 15th is the deadline for organizations to submit their season deposits.

I hope this answers your question HockeyFan1989.
