Yes, that's correct. EIGHT overtime periods were played in Michigan's Division I high school hockey championship game between Marquette and St. Mary's. It went on forever (or so it seemed). The result of the record-setting event was a 1-1 tie and a pair of co-champions. The tie was decided and both teams celebrated, or at least those who still had the energy left to stand up did.

That makes no sense to me why didn't they just do shootouts?

Wow that is appaling I can't believe they made them play for that long. The article says they ended it at around midnight. That's just crazy. I agree with PuckBunny, it should have gone to a shootout after the 3rd or 4th OT.

Sounds like they should have replayed it another day.

Heaven forbid anyone would be declared a winner. IMO they should have kept going until all of the players on one of the teams had been carried off the ice.
From there, the outcome would be determined by a no-holds-barred goalie deathmatch.
