Goaltender

half of last year's season was the real Dubnyk. Henrik Lundqvist's mediocre .898 continues the trend he's begun over the last few years, the one that indicates his time in the sun is all but done. Even Carey Price, often considered the greatest goaltender in the world, has a disgusting 3.30 GAA in four games, as the Canadiens carry on where they left off in the

As the starting Varsity goaltender, I hold a vital leadership role within the locker room which is mentoring the sophomore backup goalie. I work with my net partner to improve his game through practices and warm up sessions. I believe it is my responsibility to pass my hockey knowledge along to him to insure he has the utmost preparation when he takes over the starting role next year. I am a two year letter winner in the sport of ice hockey. I was named a Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League

position and goaltender in hockey drew some parallels. Like most young Canadians, the thrill of hockey eventually won out and Montembeault didn’t want to play anywhere else but in net. “Everyone had to take turns, but I was always saying ‘Can I go?’ and fell in love with the position.” The Florida Panthers fell in love with him too, as the team was enamored with his athletic ability and keen understanding of the position from a technical standpoint. The QMJHL is often hard on goaltenders, but Montembeault

It’s shaping up to be a December to remember for the Niagara IceDogs. The Ontario Hockey League team so far has played five games this month and has won four of them, including the last three in a row. Their latest victory - and seventh in the last 11 games - came Saturday night in Ottawa, where the IceDogs blanked the 67’s 3-0 to wrap up a two-game road swing through eastern Ontario. Matthew Philip, Danial Singer and Elijah Roberts each scored a goal, and Stephen Dhillon stopped 29 shots for his

I was very negative as I was in a position to be the back-up goaltender that year, and to learn from an experienced veteran. Throughout our conversatiom, I was asking him very common and negative why questions. Why am I hear if I'm not going to play? Why am I the back-up? Why keep me if I can develop somewhere else? His answer to all of these questions, was why not? Why not stay here? Why not learn from a very experienced goaltender? Why not battle and try to take the number one spot? At this exact

team sport where the objective is to get said object into the opposite team’s goal. Two teams of skaters use sticks to try to shoot the puck into their opponent’s goal. The teams usually consist of six players on ice at one time. There is one goaltender and five players that either play forward, center, or defense. There are three twenty minute periods in which the teams have to score, if no one scores in regulation time, or the score is tied, the game continues in overtime. However, if the score

There are usually three forwards, two defensemen, and a goaltender on the ice. The three forwards are players that usually play right wing, left wing, and center.

Ice Hockey I. History      Around 1820 the sport started to catch on among the visitors to the frozen lakes. People had played field hockey and another game in Europe for years, but this new version of the old sport required that it’s players put on skates. Using metal blades that could be strapped to their boots, the players would cut branches from trees to use as sticks; for pucks they would use round pieces of cork or wooden balls. In the 1870s, each team was made up of nine players skating

1993...That was the last time the New York Islanders held a 3-2 game series lead in a round of the NHL playoffs (Washington). After winning a game five for the first time in eleven previous tries last night in Sunrise, outlasting the Florida Panthers 2-1 in double overtime, this rag-tag bunch of scrappers look to write their own history in Brooklyn after winning the second longest overtime game in Islanders history. The Islanders, per chief statistician Eric Hornick, have hosted a game six at home
