Personal Narrative Essay: Hall Vs. Tyler

Another one of the most influential hockey players of all time is Bobby Orr. Orr was born in 1948 in Parry Sound, Canada (Orr). Bucko McDonald, a former NHL defenseman in the 30's and 40's, coached the young Bobby. He believed he could be a great defenseman with lots of speed and high stick skills as well. This turned out to be one of the beet moves for Bobby's career, as Orr played ten seasons in the NHL. He played nine years with the Bruins, and his final year in Chicago. He wished to play longer if it wasn't for his knees giving out on him, as he injured them both early in his NHL career. Nevertheless, Orr was arguably called the greatest defenseman of all time for what he did in both sides of the ice.

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

“There’s always something in the game you wish you would have done different. That’s why players improve, because they learn from what they did before. They might have been guessing before, but now they know.” – Gordie Howe. Gordie Howe didn’t have the best child hood but hockey for sure made up for the rough times. Since Gordie Howe’s retirement kids and former NHL players want to be the best they can be even though it’s hard.

Rhian Savage is working his way up the ranks of professional hockey, with the dream of making it to the NHL getting closer every day. He’s doing it alone—no family, no friends—and that’s the way he likes it. Then he arrives in New Brunswick, and meets the Moncton Ice Cats.

Sidney Crosby is considered one of the greatest hockey players to ever live, his skill is another level from other players but he had to work his way there. Sidney was born in Nova Scotia and learned to skate when he was just three years old. When crosby was ten he had scored 158 goals in 55 games, this gave him recognition across Canada. He then moved to Minnesota to play for St. Mary’s prep school, while he was there he set many school records, and lead his team to win the national title. After his year ar St. Mary’s prep Crosby returned to Canada and was the first under-18 player to play for the Canadian Junior Hockey League.

Whereas Smith has little to no chance of joining the Leafs on the 4th line, Eric Fehr ranks slightly higher.

What is there more exciting than a close fast paced hockey game? Nothing except……. When that game is the battle of Alberta. The two teams are pacific division rivals, making the game even more exciting as they fight for a spot in the playoffs (Calgary 2016). Both of the teams have come a long way in the past couple of years. Both of them went from teams in rebuilding mode to serious contenders. But who has the edge on the other? Who is the better team going into the next season, the Calgary Flames, or the Edmonton Oilers? The Edmonton Oilers are better because of their management, goalies, forwards, and defence. Well three of these factors.

Tavares has six goals and two assists, Bailey eight assists and Lee two goals and five assists. Eberle? How about five goals and an assist which has put him close to a point-per-game pace (12 points in 15 games), something he has not sniffed since his second year in the league back in 2011-12 when he finished with 76 points in 78 games.

The second day of the draft will afford teams an opportunity to select character players who will certainly still impact their prospect pool in a positive fashion. In the latest edition of NHL Draft Primer, we highlight a few notable names that have family ties, one or two elements of their games that make them unique, and a couple players who have been overlooked for one reason or another.

When most hockey fans hear about the Vancouver Canucks, losing is one of the first things to come to mind. Even though the team hasn’t won a Stanley Cup during their existence, this thought of losing is false. By looking at the Canucks early years, their greatest players and their numerous trips to the Stanley Cup Finals, it is obvious that the Canucks were, and are, a competitive and talented

While mostly blown out of proportion, Strome does have to work on his skating and other small nuances of the game, and a long OHL season and potential spot on Canada’s World Junior team would go a long way to erasing all doubt.

Trying to decide who is the best hockey player currently playing is not easy. The measure of a star cannot be assessed only by looking at his scoring performance. Other contributions, both on and off the ice, have to be factored in. Some contributions, such as assists, are easy to measure and others, like leadership ability, are
