Larger ice will actually decrease scoring. People like Dave King that have coached in Europe would argue against larger ice. Logically, it would seem that more room might result in more scoring chances. However, simple geometry tells us that when you have further to travel, there will be less chances.

Compare the number of scoring chances in indoor soccer to outdoor soccer.
