I often see the difference in size and the transition between the two surfaces as a defense for international players who need time to adjust to the NA game; however, while I agree that there may be some adjustment period, at times I feel like this argument is a bit exaggerated (i.e., requiring at least a season to fully adjust).
NA ice: 200x85 ft
Intl ice: 200x100 ft (7.5 ft larger on each side)
Which do you prefer to watch, and realistically how great of a transition is it for players to/from either one? How does it help or hurt certain play styles?
