For my project I chose to look at the Albany Devils first 30 games of 2016. I chose this topic because my parents have season tickets to Albany Devils games and I either go to them when I am home or watching them on my laptop when I am at school. My elements where the first 30 games of 2016 like stated before, and my variables were goals for, goals against, the result of the game and the distance traveled. The elements are listed by the day and I also listed who the opponent was so one can tell if it was an away game or a home game.

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 New York Rangers over the 90 years they have existed, have had consistently great records that will not let their fans down. This season the Rangers are 39-19-2, and third in the Metropolitan. The Rangers have kept the same basic uniform design that they started with in the 1920s, and to this day it looks almost the same. Most NHL teams have changed their uniforms many times over, while only a select few have stuck to their original uniforms. The Rangers have the best location of all the NHL teams, located at

In the words of Ralph Strangis, (Former Play-by-Play commentator for the Dallas Stars) “Every season, for every team the goal is to be better. To take what has already been laid in place and to build around that foundation and to take the next step however you define it. Longterm success never comes quickly and the road to get there is uneven and unpredictable“

Bill Peters’ first major coaching job came in Major Junior as an assistant coach for the Spokane Chiefs of the WHL.

The wild made the playoffs in 2013-2014 and won against the Colorado Avalanche in game seven to go on to lose to the Chicago Blackhawks in the second round. The next year they had another successful season and beat the St. Louis Blues in the first round of the playoffs to move on and lose to the Blackhawks again. In the 2015-2016 season, they made the playoffs by a slim amount and lost to the Dallas Stars in the first round 4-2. In the previous season, the Wild started out great and mid-season broke their franchise record for longest winning streak only to have it broken by the Columbus Blue Jackets. Ever since the loss, the wild had a lot of ups and downs for the rest of the season before clinching the second seed in the playoffs that season. When they went to the playoffs they lost to the St. Louis blues 4-1 in the first round. It was considered one of the biggest upsets in the playoffs. Aside from the seasonal progress, we have not credited who got them there. The wild have had a first round draft pick in every draft from when the team joined the league except the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. The biggest contributors to the team started with Marian Gaborik who was selected number three overall in the team's first draft. He went on to score the first franchise goal and lead the team in scoring the first two years. The other main contributors were Mikko Koivu who is currently the captain and has played the most games out of any Wild players past or present. The smaller helpers were Pierre-Marc Bouchard, Brent Burns, Nick Leddy, Mikael Granlund, Mathew Dumba, and Joel Eriksson Ek. At the end of the day, you can look at the wild and either say this team has had a great lifespan or say this team could’ve done so much better. Whichever one you think in my opinion they have made the league a better place and have truly brought joy back to the fans in the State of

When the flyers hired General Manger Ron Hextall in the summer 2014. The Flyer philosophy changed the Flyers who were always known for making big trades and free agency splashes would now be carefully with money and horde prospects. Ron Hextall has been able to add seven of the flyers top 10 prospects in this three season as general Manger. Hextall has been able to stock pile both his defensive and goalies prospects.

The Nashville Predators have been going through a seemingly endless process since entering the NHL in 1998. It did not take the Predators long to establish a successful and competitive nature among the franchise. Their first five seasons they struggled becoming a team and missed the playoffs, however, they have come together and made the playoffs every year since. The Predator’s on-ice performance was consistently among the top three teams in the league, but still faced many challenges.

May 13, 2013- A day that will go down in history as one of the most devastating days for fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs. After an 113 day lockout at the beginning of the season, the Leafs made the playoffs for the first time in 9 years. They were playing the Boston Bruins in the first round and made it all the way to game 7. Leafs fans around the world were glued to their TV 's as they watched their team build a seemingly impenetrable 4-1 lead with 15 minutes to go in the third period, all they had to do was hang on to it… The Bruins added a second goal with 9:18 remaining, and then the unthinkable happened. In the span of thirty-one seconds, Boston netted their third and fourth of the game to tie things up with only seconds remaining, sending the game to overtime. There 's nothing more exciting and nerve wracking than Game Seven overtime, but unfortunately for the Toronto Maple Leafs, their dreams of winning the cup were once again extinguished. They added another year since the last time they won the coveted Stanley Cup: 46 years and counting (now up to 48 years in 2016)-the longest drought without a Cup for any NHL team in history. Yet even with such a long drought without a cup, Maple Leaf fans remain some of the most loyal and dedicated in all of professional sports. The team also brings in some of the highest revenues in all of the NHL. How can a losing team be one of the most profitable? This paper will examine the case of the Toronto Maple Leafs from a number of

The Oxford English Dictionary defines a nation as “A large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular state or territory”. With this in mind, we can easily define Canada as not only a country, but a country with a nation, fitting all of the above criteria. While Canada can be thought of as one huge nation, we can also point out that within Canada, there are smaller nations. For the express purpose of this essay, the smaller nation to be pointed out is the one of the Hockey Nation. Fitting the criteria from the definition, the Hockey Nation was formed from a common descent (the people of Canada), has its own history (of how it came to be), it’s own culture and language (hockey terms have developed

Every member of their primary everyday lineup had an on-base percentage of at least .350.1998 was the season of home
