Do you know field hockey? It is the sport like ice hockey on the ground. It is the minor sport in Japan, and the number of high school that have field hockey club is a little. However, it is very interesting sport. I belonged to field hockey club when I was a high school student, and the greatest day in my life was when my team won the game to choose teams for the inter high school competition (the national competition). I have never heard the name of field hockey, much less played field hockey when I was in first grade at high school. However, I decided to belong to field hockey club as soon as I played it at first. It was very interesting and fascinating for me to play field hockey. Although I practiced every day, practice is not hard
High School sports are a big part in the high school experience. Many kids participate in high school sports each year. Some kids do many more sports than others and kids get injured during them. Playing a sport in high school is difficult because you have to worry about school work and family & friends. Also, many people do not make some of the sports team they will try out for and be embarrassed of themselves. Schools should not continue to fund sports because of school work, injuries, and embarrassment.
As a University of Delaware student, I will feel most comfortable with the academics and the ice hockey rink. My high school is very rigorous academically. There have been many nights where I have had a lot of homework and studying to do. Although I found it challenging, I am very organized and have become accustomed to a heavy academic workload. Therefore, I think my high school has prepared me well and I will be ready to meet the challenges at University of Delaware. When I am not hitting the books, I will be trying to hit the ice as much as I can. I have played ice hockey since I was ten years old. I love everything about the sport and have spent many hours on the ice. I had the opportunity to play in a tournament at the University of Delaware a few years ago. Although I won’t be playing Division 1 hockey, I look forward to continue skating perhaps with club or intramural level hockey.
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.
From the age of three, my life was nothing but Hockey. With a father who was a hockey player and a brother 3 years older already playing hockey, it was clear which sport I was going to get into. Once I started walking, my parents put me on the ice to learn the game of hockey. I instantly fell in love and I have continued playing to this day. Once it came time to play high school hockey, it all got serious. I was a freshman on the varsity team with my brother, who was a senior at the time. This was nothing but an emotional year for me, it was my first year in high school and my last year to play on a team with my brother. Once my brother graduated, he decided to go onto Juniors hockey, which is what I would do once I graduated. By the time I graduated high school, my brother would exceed the age limit for juniors hockey, so
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.
When I was eleven years old, I started playing field hockey for a simple reason: all of my friends were playing. Everyone else had quit playing soccer, so I decided that I wanted to play both. One season later, the soccer practices disappeared from my schedule. I started to play hockey year-round, and I fell in love with the sport by complete accident. I learned to dodge, pass, and shoot, and I got to run around and laugh at practice a few nights every week. Middle school recreational leagues turned into the high school varsity team in the fall and a club team for the rest of the year. Many of my friends stopped playing when we got to college, choosing to devote their free time to other organizations. I, on the other hand, could not let it
Zanesville would get a 19-yard catch by Andrew Everson and then a 17-yard run by Murphy to give the impression that their offense was ready to turn it on. Then with 2:49 left in the half Everson would get sacked by Marques Sherman for
Every person has a place or a person they can go to in order to experience a sense of belonging. This positive feeling gives one the opportunity to escape the stressful factors of life and the ability to not feel like an outsider while being yourself. Looking back on my life before a sport, I was lost. After picking up field hockey, my life was transformed socially, physically, and mentally. Now, four years later, I am grateful to have such an amazing school team that allows me to feel like I belong there almost every time we are together, both on the perfectly trimmed grass with straight, white lines that mimic turf field, or in the noisy hallways crammed wall to wall with kids. Because this is a school field hockey team, I can always remember that I have somebody to talk to from the beginning of the school day to the end of practice. Without this group of people, I would not be lucky enough to become familiarized
This season of softball is my second season of school softball. Last year was my very first season of softball ever in my life. Over the summer, I played summer softball in Morton,IL. There was only 2 teams total, us and one other team. That was the only team we played against over that amount of time in the summer. We ended up winning all but two games. Then there was the All-Star game were the 8 best people from both of the teams and formed one team and the people who didn't get picked, formed another team. I wasn't there for that game but my team won, and we were the ones with the better people. It was played at the Eastside Center in Peoria. It was really fun. Fun to play, fun to watch, fun to hit, fun to catch, fun to play! Unless you get hit, then you have the pain from where the ball hit. You know what they say, no pain no gain. The best part is hitting the ball, running to 1st, staying safe. When you hit the ball you get this oh-my-gosh-i-just-hit-the-ball feeling.
Since i was very little my life revolved around the sport of football. I played football for a number of years on numerous teams like the HFL Eagles and Hamilton Revolution. When i was growing up the only two sports i played were basketball and football. I had never even heard the word “lacrosse” until it was my brothers sophmore year in highschool and he started playing. At a young age & with me not being in highschool i knew little to nothing about lacrosse except that it took athleticism, it was physical, and fast paced. The the only programs for kids my age were in Robbinsville so i never really looked into it. I knew it was defenitely a sport that peaked my interest from the first time i watched it be played. My brother and i have always

All around the country and world, people are becoming more interested in the unique sport. Its popularity has only recently sky rocketed because it is easy to learn, it is safer to play than most sports, and it is a growing program.
In my research paper, I want to answer the question: “what are the characteristics that define a hockey fan?” I wanted to see what family members on my brother’s youth hockey team thought about the characteristics that define hockey fans. The National Hockey League (NHL) first started playing hockey games in 1917. Throughout the years, many teams were added to the NHL. Hockey has been a part of the NHL for almost 100 years, so the game has been around for a long time. Over this time, hockey has turned many people into hockey fans. Hockey fans feel in love with the game of hockey and developed many characteristics that define a hockey fan. There are many characteristics that define a hockey fan, which include being dedicated and passionate to the game of hockey and wearing your favorite team’s colors. Throughout my interviewing process and looking for secondary sources, I have found that there are many characteristics that define a hockey fan.
This research paper is going to discuss facts about hockey and rules of hockey and the history of hockey.
So where does all the codswallop, all the stories about hockey’s demise come from? They come from immigration patterns which have seen millions arriving in Canada from cultures where hockey is barely heard of. They come from melting ice caps, a dwindling number of backyard rinks, falling enrolments in hockey youth programs.
(Dolan page 21-26) Field hockey was played in 1870 in England, as well as Egypt and India. Although the rules for field hockey play a major role in the early evolution of ice hockey in Canada. But most students of the game doubt that field hockey was the forerunner of ice hockey, for the reason that both sports started around the same time. Despite its overwhelming popularity as primarily a woman's sport in North America, field hockey didn't arrive in America until 1901, (when Miss Constance Applebee of England arrived at Harvard summer school and organized a game with the group of students and teachers. (Dolan page 29-31) The English played a game called Bandy, which is a hockey-like game, who have been playing it as far back as the late 18th century and it is still played today in Russia, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and the United States (Minnesota). Many of the stars of the early Soviet hockey teams had been Bandy players. It is played on a large sheet of ice with short sticks, a ball and large goals. The Dutch, long known for their ice skating ability, have played the game Kolven since the 1600's. It is played with a golf-like stick, a ball, and posts stuck in the ice for goals. Evidence of this game can be seen it in 17th century Dutch paintings. Emigrants from Holland who settled in New York City played the game in their new locale. Another hockey-like game played on both sides of the Atlantic was shinny. It was played on the frozen pans of North
