Ice hockey statistics

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

Hockey and soccer are two vastly different sports, both requiring different skillsets and being played very differently. Both games do not only vary athleticism needed to properly play them, but also in how the game is generally played, and how easy each game is to pick up and play. First of all, both soccer and hockey require very different athletic skillsets in order to be played at a professional level. To start off, hockey and soccer both have different objects they are trying to handle, hockey

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

school hockey participation, it can be seen that this sport had the least amount of participation in comparison to the other three sports examined. Most of the participation associated with boys high school hockey is located in Northeastern states aside from California and Colorado. The fact that the most participation is happening in Northeastern states is most likely due to the climate in that area; winters may be longer and colder allowing for people to utilize frozen lakes or ponds to ice skate

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

The tone of the famous song by Queen- “We are the Champions” still rings in my ears. As defending champions, the Detroit Red Wings had plenty of motivation to win a second straight title. The Washington Capitals will battle the Detroit Red Wings for the Stanley Cup. My emotions were running high back on June 16th, 1998 during game four of the Championship Finals. Watching this game with my father will easily go down as my greatest game. Just before the game started at Verizon Center in Washington

Fun Icebreakers for Trainers In this article I will be suggesting some fun games you can get your group to play as icebreakers. Having great icebreakers is a good way to get people into a relaxed mood so they can learn. Some adults initially think games like these are corny, but you’ll soon see the kid come out of all of them as the game progresses. Before you get into the first game you need a warm up exercise. So no matter which game you choose, introduce yourself and tell everyone where you
