The difference I notice most is that the points are much further out to the side on international ice.
If you carry the puck up the boards and cross the blue line, you're at a pretty bad angle to the net, and not really any closer to the net than on NHL ice (you're closer North-South because you're closer to the goal line, but you're further away East-West, because the rink is wider).
