Author’s note: Shortly after submitting this piece, it was learned that starting nose tackle Jarron Jones tore his MCL and is out for the season. Obviously, that changes what was written in describing the defense in point #4. However, Notre Dame has experience behind him and a freshman in Jerry Tillery who enrolled in the spring and participated in spring practices for Notre Dame. Coach Brian Kelly had this to say about him during those early practices. As I noted in the defensive section, because

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

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

Duck's Stadium Opened in 1993, the Honda Center, formally know as the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim, is a venue that hosts several events, such as concerts, ice shows, the circus, and various athletics. Yet it is the 2007 Stanley Cup Champions, the Anaheim Ducks, that dominate the scene. Terming the Honda Centers nickname the Pond, or simply Duck's Stadium, by the local crowd. Despite the team's vast gift shop, the Duck's memorabilia rarely decorates the amphitheater's halls, creating a versatile atmosphere

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

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

How Hockey Began Hockey began in Montreal in the 1800’s. It began with a stick a rock and a frozen pond, the game started spreading around like wildfire, things were being added and changed with every group of people trying to create there own version of hockey but in the 1850’s the first games of ice hockey were played, and in the 1870's, the first set of ice hockey rules were written by a group of students at McGill University in Montreal. These rules set up the use of a puck replacing a ball

Lebron James, Odell Beckham, Peyton Manning, & Dwayne Wade. Do those names sound familiar? Well if you watch sports 9 times out of 10 you know who those four men are. Two things they have in common is they’re professional athletes. Secondly they’re professional athletes that are overpaid like most professional athletes. Personally i believe that they are overpaid and that isn’t fair. They make $2million-$5million as an average, salary,Lebron James made $71million last year and a nurse made nothing

My eyes trying to follow the hockey puck as it slides on the ice bumping everything it comes in contact with. Moving so quickly. Hockey players skates making dents in the ice as they run to try to get the puck feeling a little bit of the breeze as they run pass you. Faces crashing into the glass by the opposing team with a big bang. It the 2nd period with 17 minutes on the clock. A hockey player from the Mavericks hits the puck from the center of the ice and it glides through the air like a bird
