Hockey is an iconic sport for Canadians. It represents our heart, spirit, and dedication as a country. For years it has been what makes us who we are. But since the beginning of the sport, men’s hockey has been more popular than women’s. This sparks the idea of what gender inequality is like anywhere around the world. It is important to keep sports gender neutral and balanced. We can change hockey for women. The struggle for gender equality is prominent in hockey in Canada, and action needs to be

A hockey game can be a very exciting event, it has many elements that make it such a premium event to attend. It takes place in arguably one of the coldest venues know to the sporting world, the ice rink, you're pretty much sitting outside with walls blocking the wind and to make things better, you're also in sub-zero temperatures. In my opinion, the cold is my favorite part because it makes the game seem so much more than just another sport, It makes it feel like a reawakening every time you step

The Minnesota Wild have made a major contribution to the NHL. The Minnesota Wild franchise was founded in 1997 and took place in the 2000 NHL entry draft. The wild played their first season in the 2000-2001 season. They had a rough start, which is regular throughout teams in their first year in the league. They had a record of 25-39-13 and didn’t qualify for the playoffs. They barely made progress in their second year and didn’t have any major progress until their third year. In the 2002-2003 season

So there was a time where I played hockey competitively unlike now where I play competitive soccer. This event took place a couple years ago for the Stittsville Rams. It was a regular season game against the Nepean Raiders.It was halfway through the season and we were 3 points above them. I forget what rink we played in but it was an ordinary game, we were home and they were away. Just to let you know I had a quick temper back then but it didn’t bother me much. The game started like any other

This year, as a freshman, I decided to try out for a sport. I heard about field hockey and I was instantaneously intrigued. I asked some friends when was conditioning and went to the first one. There was only one other freshman at conditioning and so many upperclassmen. I was absolutely terrified because I didn't know anyone (except the other freshman, but I didn't even know her that well.) They were much older than me and very intimidating. I feared the upperclassmen due to thinking that I could

“NHL sees value in Las Vegas” This article, written by Ian Thomas, discusses the recent announcement of a NHL team in Las Vegas. The new team has already generated more than 15,000 seasons-ticket deposits in their new T-Mobile Arena. Thomas notes that the NHL board determined that adding a franchise for the first time in more than 15 years would bolster revenue league wide. The franchise is paying a $500 million expansion fee, which is more than six times the $80 million paid by the last expansion

It was a cold day in November as I scampered out of my Biology class, unsatisfied with the grade that I had received on my exam. I rushed to the basement of my campus’s athletic facility brimming over with frustration and quickly tossed aside my school supplies in exchange for a pair of soccer cleats and goalkeeper gloves. I threw over my grass-stained gray cotton sweatshirt, stepped outside to the bite of an approaching winter and joined my comrades in our warm-up lines. The boys were all laughing

Hockey, a somewhat violent sport where you stand on ice with knives strapped to your feet and hit at a chunk of black rubber with curved sticks. It is my life, and when I say it's my life I don't just mean that it consumes all my time or that I just like to play it. I mean it's a part of who I am as a person. It takes part in my personality and in almost all the decisions I make. For example, the reason I first looked at the academy wasn't just because of the academics, it was because academy was

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

After I finished my weekend homework, I decided to watch the NHL Network, and the NHL was doing a special on Connor McDavid, the phenomenal young captain of the Edmonton Oilers, who is only nineteen years old. During the special, the analysts of the program described Connor as the fastest skater in the NHL, and he accelerates at a rate of 3 meters per second squared, from a complete stop. Thinking of the rate of his tremendous speed, I was wondering how fast that he would get if he traveled at that
