Ice hockey statistics

Super Intro… While waiting in line at the ice rink one day, a little boy smiled at me and began making the cutest funny faces. He looked about four years old. My friend and I made funny faces back at him before going off to skate. Thirty minutes later, I noticed the boy again. His mother wanted him to skate, but only encouraged him from the sidelines since she wasn’t wearing skates. I asked my friend if we should help the little boy. She agreed. The mom smiled and nodded her head when we asked her

Former Toronto Marlies forward Tyler Wong lit up in pre-season action on Sunday against the Vancouver Canucks with 3g, 1a. Vancouver, B.C.- After a convincing 9-4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks, former Toronto Marlie and Lethbridge Hurricanes captain Tyler Wong put on a clinic against the nucks' in a 4 point effort. This isn't the first time Tyler Wong has had a multi-point game, as the diminutive forward tallied 109 points in 69 games in the WHL last season with the Hurricanes. The

Title The Arizona Coyotes prospect pool has never looked better, and the team is starting to reap the rewards from their recent draft classes. Anthony Duclair and Max Domi looked great on the same line while playing for Canada in the 2014-15 World Junior Championships, and that chemistry has already surfaced in Arizona. With the deadline trades of Zbynek Michalek, Antoine Vermette, and Keith Yandle, the prospect pool appears even deeper than where it was just one year ago. While a number of the

I always wanted my mom to be proud of me. I never wanted to let her down. She never wanted me to play hockey, she knew I would get hurt. I didn’t care. I did whatever I could to achieve my goal. As a girl, I was underestimated to play Hockey because girls can’t play Hockey. But everyday I tried harder and harder. Even though my mom didn’t approve I tried harder for her, to prove her wrong that I wouldn’t get hurt and I could achieve my goal. After school I went to the rink to practice. My game was

I Hate Buckle Fractures Freezing in the morning, the grassy fields at the Uihlein soccer complex were let off a cracking every step. The excitement of playing in my first ever varsity lacrosse game kept me hyped up on the day of its arrival. Grinning widely, wearing sapphire blue, I strutted to the bench for our team, Brookfield Lacrosse. As the tournament was preparing to start, the sound of Eminem’s music played through the speakers and parents chattered in the stands before the first game between

One time I experienced failure was when I was trying out for an indoor field hockey league. The field hockey league had three different teams, the academy (the lowest), elite (the middle team), and high-performance (the highest). I was very eager to begin the indoor field hockey season and I had high hopes that I would make the highest team. On the day of tryouts, I had a major case of butterflies in my stomach but I was still eager to start the season. However, as soon as I stepped on the field

Lacrosse Through Time Lacrosse was started by Native Americans in the seventeenth century and is still around being played today. William George Beers was the one who changed the rules from the Indian rules to the ones that today’s game is based off of. Why did he change the rules so much and did it help today’s game? Lacrosse’s origins go back to the eastern Woodlands Indians and some Plains Indians, evidence has been found in what is now Canada dating back to as early as the 17th century

Have you ever had something you were “super passionate” about be stripped away from you? Roughly one and a half years ago I started my sophomore year of lacrosse. The lineup of students on the lacrosse team this year promised us a spot in the championship. Throughout fall practices, the majority of the sophomore class played amongst the varsity team. As the season ramped up in the spring, we waited for our first game against Saint John Paul’s Christian Academy. First game of the year, we enveloped

It was my sophomore year, and the day had come to find out who made the varsity lacrosse team. We piled into the locker room to discover rows of brand new helmets. The list of the varsity players was written on the whiteboard. The team was excited, the locker room buzzing with noise. My heart dropped as I realized that my name wasn’t written there. My friends were admiring their new helmets and I had to hold back tears and disappointment. I know now that I still had to be developed at the junior

In 1990, a miracle truly happened. Kerri Strug won the olympics for America in 1996, even though she injured her ankle on her first vault. She stuck her landing on her second vault before she collapsed to the ground rolling in pain. This devastating vault has gone down in history on covers of magazines, and books inspiring young gymnasts to never give up. She even became a two-time olympic gold medalist and has one of the most memorable Olympic experiences that was ever documented on television.
