Tell the kids that they worked hard to put themselves in a position to win a coin flip. Life is full of times where you do everything you can to get a 50/50 shot at winning. They didn't win in the alloted time, so to me the entitlement of extra ice time is ridiculous. I understand that it is difficult to explain that to a heartbroken hormone filled teenager, but it seems to me that this is a case of parents focusing on the wrong lesson.
I will now take this opportunity to get off my high horse despite what is obviously an emotional experience.
