Stephen McKichan, a goaltender for the Milwaukee Admirals, suffered a career-altering injury during December 15, 1990 minor-league hockey game against the Peoria Rivermen. The injury occurred during the third-period of the game when the Rivermen skater, Tony Twist, body-checked McKichan; rendering the goaltender unconscious as a result (Breitenbucher, 1990, p. 7). The body-check occurred both during a play-stoppage and after a referee had twice blown his whistle to signal a stoppage in play. Twist was ejected from the game almost immediately after the incident and would later be levied an indefinite suspension by IHL, the league in which the teams play. Body-checks are common in the game of hockey and don’t usually result in criminal or civil

What would you say if I told you that hockey was no longer Canada's national sport? Although it seems that it is on a professional level, where the game and Canada has progressed to become bigger, faster and stronger than ever, this could not be less true compared to the game we all grew up loving. Yes, the game that many grew up on, playing minor hockey and developing lifelong friendships through countless hours on the ice has become less popular in recent years due to many reasons, one major one being cost. Through the alarming costs of equipment and minor hockey that are needed to play organized hockey, it is looking like Hockey is not so much Canada's national sport, but rather one played mostly by the rich.

Hockey is a sport thats origins may be from Persia, Egypt or China, while archaeological evidence shows an early ball-and-stick game played in Greece in the 400s BCE. As civilization spread, so did the games. In 1872, a young man from Halifax, Nova Scotia named James Creighton moved to Montreal, bringing the sport of ice hockey with him bringing with him hockey sticks and skates. Which in turn a man named Lord Stanley created the first national hockey organization. In 1912 the very first professional hockey game. I’ll present my information in chronological order with also talking about how and when hockey affected the country presented.

Professional hockey players eat, sleep, and breathe the game. This passion breeds a rare type of diehard fan to follow the sport. The game of hockey is over 100 years old and fighting is one element that has kept players engaged and fans hooked throughout the years. The first indoor hockey game was played in 1875 and the NHL was formed 42 years later in 1917. In 1922, fighting was added to the rule book as a regulated aspect of the game. Looking at the history of hockey shines a light on the players and fans’ passion for the game. Hockey fights should stay in the game for the protection and safety of skilled players, rivalries between teams, and finally because it's a unique part of the sport.

There is no sporting event that brings an explosion quite like that of an ice hockey fight. Ice hockey has always been stereotyped as brutal and unnecessarily violent, a game full of players who are nothing but “goons”. Fighting in hockey is a form of sanctioned violence, as it has deemed acceptable in hockey since the introduction of the National Hockey League in 1917. The league did note even penalize it until the 1922 NHL season (Brandon 2013). A recent political uproar has taken place within the hockey world as more people are pushing to have fighting completely removed from the game. As a hockey player for over 25 years, I have

September 28, 1992, to many this was just an ordinary day. To all of Canada and hockey fanatics everywhere this was the day when one shot made within the last 34 seconds of play would go down in hockey history forever. Not only would that goal go down in history, it may arguably be the most important goal in Canadian history. “If you were around in ’72, you were watching. If you’re under 40, you learned about it in school. If you’re new to Canada, you read about the series in our Citizenship Guide” (Dawson).

To help me with a greater understanding of how to run lacrosse clinic I was doing some research and I stumbled across Marilyn Fuss who is head recruitment officer for lacrosse SA and it’s her job to recruit players. Every day she goes out to schools all around South Australia teaching children all about lacrosse but also teaches them the basic skills need if you started to play lacrosse for a club. She gave me a clear outline of what drills she runs step by step but also let me join her for a few clinics so that I could have a first-hand experience with it and also she gave me the opportunity to add my own different drills or tweak her drills a little. One drill that I was wanting to really try was a small game because I think that a small game would give the children the most amount of fun but also they would learn the most because they would have to put all the skills they learnt earlier into play. I learnt that running a lacrosse clinic was harder to run than expected because its challenging to keep all the children’s attention for the time needed and that’s when I figured that a small game would keep all the children busy

Instead of having my students warm up by jogging through the cones, I should have had them grab a paddle and a ball and bounce it in general space so that they had a feeling of the weight of the paddle. I feel that my students had ampule amount of practice time. They practiced hitting back forth, then with a bounce, then with no bounce, then in teams.

Passing sequences were an important aspect of Andover Field Hockey play on Saturday. A number of strong passes moving the ball up the field allowed Andover to sweep its opponent once again.

By the time you have reached 50 years of age, you will have walked approximately 75,000 miles, that's a lot of walking! Now think of what that number would be if you added running, swimming, skating, or any other workout. A fit lifestyle is having a balance of exercise and eating healthy. My fitness goals are to be able to be in shape for hockey season and for the summer.

The wind howled in the daylight.  Chills ran up my back.  That's how you know it is fall in New Jersey.   The leaves fell to the ground as they turned an ombre color.  “Come on!”, my mom shouted in frustration.

Throughout the first few chapters, Saul solely finished talking about the abuse that happened at the school and how he uses the game of hockey to pull himself from all of that. Soon he is offered a position to play on a town team full of white boys but Saul’s skills outshine the rest of the team and is asked to leave. Shortly after, Father Leboutilier finds a former residential school survivor, Fred Kelly, to take Saul to go play on a native tournament team in Manitouwadge where Saul, of course, starts as an outcast and then becomes the star player of the team. Word spreads fast of The Moose (Saul’s native hockey team) and soon every White team wants to play them. The Moose started traveling all around to play white teams and entered in many white
