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.
I also think this user is right but it’s a little over the top. “Now that Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel and Noah Hanifan has been drafted into the league, people will begin shifting their focus more towards them. We aren't just talking about goals we are talking about shots, +/- avg., assists etc. For instance i am a carolina fan and everybody loves Justin Faulk some think he is one of the best in the league for D. However last night against the Red Wings he had a -3 +/- ratio, that leads me to believe that Hanifan who was drafted by the Canes is leading up to be a better player than Faulk. Hanifan who was +1 +/- ratio had an assist as the game progressed. Crosby who has been playing with many very good players in the NHL is still the best, his line is almost never scored on and they get more SOG (shots on goal) than all the other lines. Shots leads to dominating the game, dominating the games leads to smarter hockey and more enthusiastic players. Yes Crosby is the best in the game.” quotes a user from
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.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders have been an organization in Regina for over 100 years. Though operating as a non-profit, the organization generates millions of dollars in revenue annually along with millions of dollars of profit. The goals of non-profit organizations do not aim to make a profit but year in and year out the Riders turn out in the positive. By applying for-profit business principles the Saskatchewan Roughriders are able to manage their expenses and turn out at the end of the year in the green. Popularity, success, and licensed goods such as hats, jerseys, or anything with an official logo on it play important roles in how well the organization does financially.
Growing up in a small farm town in Wisconsin, few people would thing that a future NCAA lacrosse player would be on the come up. This athlete would have some of the best coaches and the worst coaches in that the game had to offer and would drip all of the knowledge they had. This athlete even fewer would know that he had an idea of being a great lacrosse coach and inspire other athletes to reach for things that they never thought they could aspire to. This athlete is me and I come from Waunakee, Wisconsin which is a small football farm town that dose not have many NCAA athletes come from it and even fewer lacrosse players that play the sport in the area. Like as was stated before I have had amazing coaches who pushed me to better and other
People have always loved intense sports. Whether it's WWE, NBA, NFL, or even better, the NHL. Hockey has always been one of America’s most loved pastimes. The atmosphere created by the lights, noise, and ice enhances the spectators experience. Everyone either leaves the arena happy, mad, or upset.

Midnight hockey is a reflective journey through the hockey season of an old-timer. He journey’s through the process of finding a team and optimal ice time, the struggles associated with injury and reluctance to strap on metal blades and drag himself down the ice. Exploring negative capability and the various reasons as to why he plays or why anyone plays, deciphering certain possibilities such as enjoying a second childhood, addiction to the zone, metaphorical place found only when in the right moment, because of the reptilian brain some players tend to just have, or simply the ego gratification when you blow by a skater and tuck the puck away top shelf. Bill Gaston, hockey vet and possibly ringer in the old-timers league, reflects on all
There are many teams in the NHL, but there is only one team that is truly the best: the New York Rangers. The New York Rangers have consistently great records, very classy uniforms, a great location, and have won many championships.

The Predator’s on-ice performance was consistently among the top three teams in the league, but still faced many challenges.

I have innovated a prototype that may reduce the amount of damage in player-to-player situations. Introducing the padded soccer shorts (not just for the goalies but for the whole starting eleven). This concept decreases the amount of force taken when falling to the ground and getting taken out from the side. You may argue the point that these shorts do not help the longing amount, but lets face it, I would rather have my child, or me as a soccer player, have some protection rather than none at all. I can put confidence in these shorts by the fact that padding is beginning to be developed into a goalie’s kit. Goalies are by far one of the hardest positions on the field and for that matter, you have to keep them comfortable. Since they dive
