if you are a golaie and play 3-3 on a small ice surface, you need to have a thick skin, because you get lit up.

if you are playing east-west - then you also need to think about marking the ice for face off dots and what about offsides?

Other issue becomes number of dressing rooms - most rinks have 4 to 6 at the most - if you have two half ice games goign on then you need 4 rooms for that ice time - plus rooms for the next ice time.

Seems like shirking the ice is initially a good idea - but there is more to consider than just moving the ents.
