You think hockey headshots aren’t bad? Tell that to the family of Russian forward Dmitri Uchaykin who died after receiving a hit to the head during a KVL game. My stance is clear, stop headshots in hockey.…
A healthy heart is essential for a hockey slap shot. Hockey is mostly thought of as an anaerobic sport/exercise as players play in shifts that can range from 1-2 minutes. For that short amount of time they will exhaust a significant amount of energy that could sustain someone for a much longer duration. Performing a slap shot is an explosive movement. The slap shot can be categorized into 3 stages of movement - Preparation, Windup, and Follow Through/Impact. Consequently the intense nature of the movement causes an increase in your heart rate particularly at the follow through/ impact which is when the player actually will attempt to take the shot .…

One famous game in NHL history was the Easter Epic of 1987. That game was game 7 of a series between the Washington Capitals and the New York Islanders. It went into 4 overtimes. The game was started on April 18(that’s why it was nicknamed the Easter Epic) and ended on April 19, Easter morning. It is now the longest game 7 in NHL history. Another great game during the NHL season is the Winter Classic. It is, actually, relatively new. The very first Winter Classic was played between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Buffalo Sabres in Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, New York on January 1, 2008. The game is pretty much always played on New Year’s Day every year. The star player of the Pittsburgh Penguins at the time, and still is now, was…

The article, Ban Fighting in Hockey discusses the dangers of fighting in the game of hockey. Author Charlie Gillis is arguing the fact that the old saying says, “Hockey needs fighting” should be reconsidered. This journal coming out shortly after the death of rookie senior hockey player, Donald Sanderson, caused the uproar against violence from Gillis. His argument was up against great odds, because when Colin Campbell (who is the director of hockey operations) brought the topic of harsher punishments up, only two General Managers supported the idea.…
The Warriors Soccer Camp (WSC) is a new summer camp located in Mississauga, Ontario, more specifically St. Aloysius Gonzaga Secondary School which is also a community center. The Warriors Soccer camp is a youth camp for both genders ages 6-12.

When NSW Rugby League was first created in the 1907 there was no video referee, only one referee and two touch judge referees. These referees were responsible for fairly enforcing the Laws of the Game from a neutral point of view during a game of rugby league and give penalties for deliberate breaches of these laws. But it all changed in 1998 when the NRL was created and video referees were introduced into the sport. The video referee was created to watch replays and make a call on something in the game. The video referee may be called upon by the referee to examine the play in possible tries. In the Super League competition they can examine play from the preceding play-the-ball. A video referee may also be asked to check whether an attempted…
Chapter fourteen was mainly about sports announcing. This chapter was placed in the book to help the production crew know what the talent will be doing. The talent must know their role and know what the director and producer are expecting of them. The play-by-play can call a sporting event with the action and the color commentator made the commentating better by adding important facts. Research is something the talent is responsible for so that they are familiar with the event. Sportscaster figure out ways to compliment one another. Commentating normally is where the play-by-play person talks and determines when the color announcer will speak. Interviews are important and an essential part of a production. I know that from experience the interview…
As seconds ticked away, the celebration began in full force(Coffey, 1993).The 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team was the best hockey team of all time. They were the best hockey team because of their new coach, conditioning, winning games, and their win against the Soviet Union.…
The “Climate Change Debate Overheated after Sceptic Grasped ‘Hockey Stick’” article, written by Fred Pearce, demonstrates how the hockey stick graph constructed by Michael Mann, introduced many disagreements. Fred Pearce notes many individuals such as Steve McIntyre and Ross McKitrick (both referred to as M&M) that believed Michael Mann’s hockey stick graph was created using faulty methods, and were considered imprecise. According to Pearce, M&M publicized a paper arguing that Mann’s smoothing of the graph provided inaccurate results of the temperatures in the early centuries, and consequently, made the blade on the so called hockey stick appear larger. Furthermore, M&M identified tree rings as a bad source of temperature readings after they…

Shoulder fake left, head fake right, a sweet inside outside move, and he fires it in top shelf, beating the goalie glove side to win the game. While that may sound like a narrative of a game-winning hockey goal, in reality, it is 1:30 AM on your average Thursday night and I am struggling to find the perfect concluding sentence to finish my history term paper. Often when I am struggling to find an answer to a question or need to concentrate on any given topic, I reach for my worn-out Warrior hockey stick and my dusty orange ball and begin to stickhandle mindlessly. One might never know, that my mind is far away from hockey as I look like a complete fool deking (hockey term for getting past people) imaginary people on my way to an imaginary net.…
I have joined many extracurricular activities in school such as, Cross Country, Track, National Honor Society and UIL math competitions. From all this clubs I have been the leader for Track and Cross Country. I was the captain for track when I was in 10th grade also I have been the leader for cross country since my junior year. While leading this teams there were some obstacles we overcame as a team. We was not fast enough to win anything during my first year of leading the team, we was not as famous as we are now. We did not had many supporters in the arena we compete in also our own school kids did not knew us, all they knew were the football team, basketball and soccer team. This really upset me because I and my teammates deserved to be…
College has so far exceeded my expectations in a huge way. As a new member of the ice hockey team there were many uncertainties and worries, as well as tons of excitements and anticipations. Obviously the biggest part, school, was nerve wracking and exciting too. In college hockey its very common that players take a few years off of school prior to attending, to play hockey in junior hockey leagues. This created a bit more nerves then excitement for the classroom aspect of school since i've only taken 3 college courses since graduating high school, making it a bit harder to get back into the swing of things. Besides getting back into school routine, being a hockey player in college has made the beginning…
