How do people feel about having more than one timeout in college hockey?
How about 3? One a period our coach's choice?

Should college hockey have more than one timeout?

They often go through games without using their 1 time out - why add two? - also adding a couple more timeouts makes risking a challenge and the possibility of a 2 minute delay of game call meaningless.
I agree that adding more timeouts is unneccessary.
On the challenge bit though: maybe it'd be better if they went straight to delay of game for an unsuccessful challenge, like in the NHL.
Personally, I like that better. Losing a timeout is hardly punitive.

No thanks. Like the mostly continuous flow of the game, especially compared to college hoops with the under 16, 12, 8, and 4 TOs on top of the team's TOs. Hockey feels like it is played in periods, hoops is now a series of 10 spurts between 2:45 and 5:15 each.

Compared to most other sports, the object of hockey is to keep the game moving, as evidenced by being able to change the competitors while the game is underway. One of the pitfalls of college sports is coaches who want to make the game all about them. The less we need to stop games and watch players receive coaching the better.

People that matter have proposed this at times to be a rule.
