As Curry took their home ice on Saturday night, they were greeted by a crowd full of fans looking to donate one of their teddy bears to a child in need. The Colonels immediately gave thanks to many of the children in the stands, who were excited to see the home team make a splash during the third annual Teddy Bear Toss. By the end of the night, it felt like almost every kid in attendance got the chance to take home a souvenir puck from one of the players. Once the pregame festivities came to a

Tumbling is getting more and more popular across the globe. The hype all started when Gabby Douglas won the 2012 World Olympics. One of the signature tumbling passes of gymnasts around the world is the round off back handspring back tuck. This tumbling pass is not as easy as it seems. What people don’t realize is that in order to have the perfect technique like Douglas’, you must gain momentum during the round off, maintain good body control during the back handspring, and get as much height as possible

On Saturday, September 12th, 2015 I went to a hockey arena to study how the parents there treat the game, how they interact with the game, and how they interact with on and another. I went to the hockey arena because I feel parents who are invested in their Childs extracurricular take the experience differently than an outsider would and act differently. From the data I recorded at this game it seemed as if they viewed the game completely different than me. From what I thought to what I observed

There is 1:15 left in the game and the Chicago Blackhawks are down 1-2 against the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup Final of 2013. The Blackhawks are winning the series 3-2, but it looks like Boston is about to force the series into a game 7. The puck is passed across net to Brian Bickell who releases a shot that goes right between the goalie's legs for a goal. The Blackhawks have tied the game up 2-2. Then they are off again, trying to score to escape the overtime that seems unavoidable. No less

One week during the summer, 32 kids, over 40 volunteers, an Olympic size ice rink and a community came together and worked towards making dreams into reality. Miracles on Ice (MOI) are a non-profit organization that focuses on the power of education. In its tenth year of active service, Gary and Leslie Howard have created an opportunity for 32 project area youth, to explore what they can accomplish within a week. However, the program is much more than just that. According to Peter McNab, former NHL

Skateboarding is really easy to do when you come to think about, all it really is balancing on a board with wheels and finding your dominant foot and leg to push yourself with. The first step to conquering the board is to get over come your fear of riding. This has to be one of the most important steps because if you don’t get over your fear you will most definitely fall on your butt or even worst your... face! Now do you really want to fall on your face or butt? Yea that what I thought. But the

Out-of-class Involvement Experience I attended the Homecoming Trivia Night on campus at the Pub on the 30th of March, which is hosted by The Student Activities and Transition Program. It’s a weekly event where there are a variety of groups that consist of students, faculty members, and guests competing against each other to win. There is an award for every week to the winners; every Wednesday they give away $40.00 in gift cards for local stores. The game was presented by a man called Daniel who

Brantford, Canada. Ever since Gretzky was born his father wanted him to be a hockey player but his size discouraged him. He first received his pair of skates at the age of 3. Wayne first learned to skate a river near his grandfather's farm and at public rinks on weekends. But the rink that his father built in his backyard is the place where he really learned to skate. When Gretzky turned 6 he started to play organized hockey, at this time he only scored 1 goal during the season. After that, he began

glaring at each other. There was a coach in the room that went by the name coach Buster and by the looks of it he was just as uncomfortable as all of us, sitting there and staring into the sea of players just waiting for the ice to be done resurfacing. The buzzer went off. On the ice I realized the real extent of what was going on, there was 52 kids in total, 5 coaches, and one hour to decide what the team would be this year, they need 6 defence, 9 forwards, and 2 goaltenders. Making it so only 17 out

Silence intoxicated the stadium as Patrice Bergeron glided to the face-off dot against Nazem Kadri. Tension was so thick that you could cut it with a knife. Above, the massive scoreboard read 1-1, which was way too close for comfort. The ref then took a brief glance, analyzing the positions of each player, to ensure they were in their correct positions. He blasted the whistle and the game was on. Next, the puck was dropped in a sudden motion, keeping it remaining completely horizontal the whole way
