Descriptive Essay About Hockey
Ever since the age of three, hockey has been a huge part of my life. Everyone in my family played hockey and to this day, it is still my favorite
sport. I have always viewed the sport of hockey as just a game; however, through the lessons learned in Anthropology 101, I thought it would be
interesting to use my new anthropological mindset and tools to view and analyze the game like I never have before. On Friday November 3rd, I
decided to go and watch my brothers adult league hockey game, not as a supporter, but as an anthropologist. The game was on a cold November night
at 10:00 pm located in Everett, Washington, at the "Xfinity Community Rink". The rink was very modern however it had little seating for the
spectators. One team was the first to come out for warmups. Each player wore a different style jersey with the dominate color being some shade of
green. The team had twenty–one players; all of which were Caucasian adult males. Using reasonable judgment, eighteen of the players were between
the ages of twenty to thirty–five years old, and the other three were much older; somewhere between the ages of fifty to seventy years old. One of the
older men in particular wore camo hockey shorts and had a prosthetic arm barely covered by his jersey and glove.
About two minutes after the first team stormed the ice, the other team, one player after the other, in random time increments, stumbled onto the ice.
This team wore bright pink jerseys and socks with a purple pony on the

Persuasive Essay On Why Hockey Is Important
I think it is important to hockey because it will keep the fans entertained and the players will have fun. It also provides a job to certain people who
are willing to get hurt for their team. We need it in the sport so it would be more entertaining for us to watch and other reasons. The whole point of
fighting in hockey is to make it more interesting then all of the other sports. It keep their players and fans on their feet when the see one happening
because it is the most exciting part about the sport. That's why teams hire people to just fight for the team and are willing to get a penalty for it as
well. Without fighting the sport would not be the same it would be a lot more entertaining for the fans to watch because there would be no more
contact. The coaches of the teams will pay the people getting in fights non stop a lot of money...show more content...
Hockey is one of the only sports that will let contact like football or any other sports like those that will have people hitting others for the protection of
others. In hockey it three periods instead of half and it has timed penalties instead of yards.
I think we should allow fighting in hockey because it will make it the most unique sport out there. The sport has ups and downs like people getting
sent to the hospital because of how bad the fights get but that is what keeps us into the sport even though someone is really hurt but he did it for his
fans and for protecting his team. The fighting is called "Fisticuffs" it is so that the refs and couched will not interfere with the fighting and so they can
just fight out their differences so that the game can go on. The two players that are fighting will get in some sort of trouble they might not be able to
play some of the next game because their couches might not let them until they think they are ready to play without getting into anymore

Why Is Hockey Important To Me Essay
Playing hockey is a huge part of what defines me as a person. If I learned anything about growing up in Philladelphia, it would definitely be that
you do not trash the hometown sports teams. In my house my dad lives and breathes Philly sports so naturally so do I. However, just watching

save my life, and I wasn't fast so track and soccer didn't go well either. I was about to give up on my athletic career when the Philladelphia Flyers

How can I focus on winning a game if I am thinking about anything other than hockey? When I get in the zone nothing else in the world exists and
it feels extremely freeing. Now it is about time to take the ice, the loud music in the looker room abrubtly stops as our coach walks into the room.

Hockey Essay
Hockey is a fast, exciting sport played by two teams on a sheet of ice called a rink. Each team has six players on the ice, one goalie, two
defensemen, two wingers, and one center man. The players skate up and down the ice shooting or passing a hard rubber disk called a puck with
sticks. They score points by hitting the puck into the net. Hockey is much faster and swifter than any other sport. As the players streak across the ice,
their powerful shots and passes can send the puck faster than 100 miles [160 kilometers] per hour. A goalkeeper on each team defends his net from the
puck going in. They must often make quick slides across the on their skates, stomachs, knees or backs to stop the puck from going into the net. A puck

Skating is the most important hockey skill. Players must be able to turn sharply, skate backwards and perform many other maneuvers while
skating at top speed. They must be able to do this with their head up and while stick handling the puck. Passing occurs when a player who has the
puck passes it to another player. In most cases the players use their sticks to propel the puck toward the receiver. These passes are either flat passes
or flip passes. To make a flat pass the player sends the puck traveling along the surface of the ice. To make a flip pass the player causes it to rise off
the ice to avoid interception by an opponent. Sometimes the passer simply leaves the puck behind, so that a teammate can get it, this is called a
drop pass. Stick handling is the use of the stick to control the puck. The player first moves the puck with one side of the blade and then with the
other side while skating. The player makes some sweeps of the stick some wide and some narrow. In this way the player keeps the opponent
guessing as to the next move and also makes it difficult to steal the puck. Shooting is the skill needed to drive the puck into the net and score goals.
Most shots are either wrist shots or slap shots. In a wrist shot the blade does not leave the ice. The player uses strong wrist action to propel the puck.
For a slap shot the player raises the stick for a back swing and

I was bouncing with excitement as the opening face off drew closer and closer. My eyes lit up in excitement as I sang The Star Spangled Banner
with my fellow brothers. I was ready to be a game changer off of the ice. I was so excited to be in a student section that would finally be doing
hockey related cheers. However, when the seniors began leading cheers, it was very evident that they did not have the same vision as myself. They
repeated the same generic cheers that we used for all sporting events. Although we cheered loudly, the cheers were dull and were not improving the
morale of the team. A few minutes into the game, the opposing team scored, and the atmosphere needed to be resurrected. I attempted to teach the
senior leaders some basic hockey cheers. Unfortunately, they were not grasping the cheers very quickly, and every time they attempted to execute one;
it failed. All of the seniors realized that there was only one way to teach the students the cheers and boost the team morale. The seniors huddled

Hockey: Hockey As A Team Game On Hockey
Introduction
Hockey is a game of stick and ball with origins going back to thousands of years. It is conventionally played on grass, but more frequently it is played
on man–made surfaces. Two teams play using hooked sticks to push, hit, pass and dribble a small, hard ball with single aim in mind i.e. to notch a
goal by receiving the ball past the goalkeeper. Hockey is a team game played on a very large surface of field or ice or may be on street. With the
Hockey stick in hand, players clash to strike the puck past the goalie into the opposite teams' goal net. Every team has somewhere from 12 to 30
plus players with at least one labeled goalie. Players are chosen as either defensive or offensive players. Every team has three forwards on the field or
ice, a center, right wing and left wing, has two defensive players and a goalie. That is without a team is shorthanded due to a penalty.

The supplementary 10 players are called field players, and are categorized into three namely attackers, midfielders and defenders.
Stick handling
Hockey players need be able to pass, push, control, stop and hit the ball with the given hockey stick. This is well–known as stick work or stick
handling. Keeping the ball below close control is termed dribbling. The head of a hockey stick has a curved side i.e. the right side and a flat side i.e.
the left side. It is one with the flat, left–hand side of the stick and the boundaries of that side which can be used to hit the ball.
No feet
Field players are not permitted to use their feet or any of the body parts to track the ball. Just the goalkeeper is permitted to make use hands, feet, etc.
to halt or push the ball away from the net when guarding in his or her own circle.

For more than a century, hockey historians have found that precisely tracing the sports origin is not only a difficult task but, a virtual impossibility.
Therefore I can only try to deduce for myself, from the records, claims, and accounts, which are available to me, when, where, and by whom the first
ice hockey was played. I'll also discuss the early problems and obstacles that the NHL encountered. Plus I will also tell a little bit about early
equipment, along with early game play and ice conditions that players encountered. Lastly, the Stanley Cup, which is the most prized and oldest sports

(Dolan page 21–26) Field hockey was played in 1870 in England, as well as Egypt and India. Although the rules for field hockey play a major role in
the early evolution of ice hockey in Canada. But most students of the game doubt that field hockey was the forerunner of ice hockey, for the reason
that both sports started around the same time. Despite its overwhelming popularity as primarily a woman's sport in North America, field hockey didn't
arrive in America until 1901, (when Miss Constance Applebee of England arrived at Harvard summer school and organized a game with the group of
students and teachers. (Dolan page 29–31) The English played a game called Bandy, which is a hockey–like game, who have been playing it as far
back as the late 18th century and it is still played today in Russia, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and the United States (Minnesota). Many of the stars
of the early Soviet hockey teams had been Bandy players. It is played on a large sheet of ice with short sticks, a ball and large goals. The Dutch, long
known for their ice skating ability, have played the game Kolven since the 1600's. It is played with a golf–like stick, a ball, and posts stuck in the ice for
goals. Evidence of this game can be seen it in 17th century Dutch paintings. Emigrants from Holland who settled in New York City played the game in
their new locale. Another hockey–like game played on both sides of the Atlantic was shinny. It was played on the frozen pans of North

This report is going to be on the game Ice hockey. A game of hockey is divided into three twenty minute time periods that are called periods. Between
each period there is a fifth teen minute intermission. In hockey there are several ways a game may end if there is a tie at the end of regulation. The
pros use one twenty sudden death period in which the first to score is the winner. In the amateurs they use a shoot out in which five players from each
team are selected and allowed to go one on one with the opposing goalie and which ever team scores the most goals after all five members for both
teams have taken their shot they are the winners. If there is a tie after this it keeps repeating until a winner is crowned....show more content...
A defensemen's shift will often be slightly longer then that of a winger or a center.
There are three different types of penalties in hockey a minor, a major, and a noncontact penalties. Non contact penalties occur when a player hit's
the puck from his zone past the red goal line in the other teams zone and a member from his team does not touch it, however the goalie for the
opposing team can wave it off and keep the puck in play, this is called icing. Another non contact penalty is when a teammate passes the puck to
another teammate and it goes over a blue and red line without being touched before crossing both lines this called a two line pass. The last of the
non contact penalties is off sides and this when an opposing team is going into their defenders zone and they pass the blue line before the puck
does (the puck has to be the first thing to pass the blue line going into the zone). A minor penalty is assessed when an excessive amount of body or
equipment is used to impede the speed or shot of an opponent. The player must then sit in the penalty box for two minutes of play and his team must
play a man down (power play). If the opposing team scores during this time the man then can leave the box. A major penalty is given when most often
for fighting or a severely violent act, and results in five minutes in the penalty box and return to play. This can also result in a game misconduct in
which the player may not return to the game, but

Reflection Paper On Hockey
It has been said that it takes a village to raise a child and I can say that my village is the ice hockey community. Hockey in the United States is
relatively small when compared to the other team sports, but it is a tight knit community. Having played hockey since I was seven years old, I
have spent more time in ice rinks, hotels, and traveling to tournaments than just about anywhere else and the lessons I have learned along the way
have shaped me into the person I am today. I learned to play hockey at a free program that was hosted by the Dallas Stars. Professional players, that
make millions of dollars a year, volunteered their spare time to share their passion for hockey and taught us kids how to skate and the
fundamentals of the game. Keeping with the spirit of the volunteerism I learned from the players that helped me, I donate as much time as I can,
helping people discover the love of hockey, from young children, individuals with disabilities and even adults. Ironically, I was selected to help
coach in this same Dallas Stars program and there is nothing more rewarding than seeing the smiles on a little kids face they lace up their skates and
hit the ice for the first time. Hockey is a grind, even for young players. It is a long season, spanning from August to March. Practices can be early in
the morning, before school or late in the evening. Tournaments were on all of the major holidays, so traveling over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New

NHL Hockey and Olympic hockey are very different due to each league having their own style of play. In Olympic hockey Fighting is frowned

All of the rosters of the twelve teams have at least one NHL player on its roster. However, the NHL is thinking about not letting its players play in the
Olympics because it cuts into the season, and there is a risk of getting there star players injured.
When Team USA beat the Soviet in 1980 it was important for the US hockey world because that team was seeded seventh entering the game
against the Soviet Union. During the 1980 Olympic run the average was 22 and all the players were that year were both amateur and college
players and the Soviet's team was mainly professional and experienced players. This win gave coach Herb Brooks a place in history because he did
something no other USA coach has done for the last twenty years and that is beat Russia, and he was named sportsman of the year in 1990.
In the Olympics for Hockey, they take the helmet and protecting the face rule very serious. During warm–ups, it has been required that all players wear
helmets. If a player is not wearing his helmet correctly during the game, the game will be stopped and the player is penalized. The NHL is a little bit
easier on players, it's not required like in the Olympics where players have to wear a helmet during pre–game and if your helmet comes off in the
during NHL play the game continues.

Why One Hockey Player Can Make A World Of Difference
By: Jami Ness As a Canadian, hockey is something very important to me and my family. Especially the Calgary Flames. When I was younger, the

By this point he was a well known centreman. He started off his first season with a bang by obtaining 6 goals in the first 9 games. He has made the
playoffs twice out of four seasons with the Flames. In his second playoff run, he got 4 goals second to Sidney Crosby's winger, Jake Guentzel. He
also got his 100th goal this year, being the youngest flame to achieve it and the 6th youngest NHLer right under very acclaimed players like Kane
and Stamkos. He was recognized as a upcoming tremendous hockey player and was invited to play in the 2011 17U hockey challenge and was a key
role in Team Toronto winning. By this point in time, Sean was well known across theNational Hockey League as a centreman who knew how to score,
set up plays, and run a great powerplay line effortlessly. Even though Monahan has been in the NHL for 4 years he continues to have the same power
and speed he originally came with. The fan–base for the Flames has grown tremendously; especially with kids since Sean was drafted. Everytime I go
to Calgary for a hockey game, I see more Monahan jerseys than anyone else because he is what every kid wants to become, a fast hockey player
who scores; lots. The game has changed since 2013, and it's all because of Sean Monahan. Although there are many players who score as often, if not
more often than Sean, what sets him apart is his drive, intelligence, speed and agility. Sean monahan has changed the game for all fans, players who

Descriptive Essay About Hockey

  • 1. Descriptive Essay About Hockey Ever since the age of three, hockey has been a huge part of my life. Everyone in my family played hockey and to this day, it is still my favorite sport. I have always viewed the sport of hockey as just a game; however, through the lessons learned in Anthropology 101, I thought it would be interesting to use my new anthropological mindset and tools to view and analyze the game like I never have before. On Friday November 3rd, I decided to go and watch my brothers adult league hockey game, not as a supporter, but as an anthropologist. The game was on a cold November night at 10:00 pm located in Everett, Washington, at the "Xfinity Community Rink". The rink was very modern however it had little seating for the spectators. One team was the first to come out for warmups. Each player wore a different style jersey with the dominate color being some shade of green. The team had twenty–one players; all of which were Caucasian adult males. Using reasonable judgment, eighteen of the players were between the ages of twenty to thirty–five years old, and the other three were much older; somewhere between the ages of fifty to seventy years old. One of the older men in particular wore camo hockey shorts and had a prosthetic arm barely covered by his jersey and glove. About two minutes after the first team stormed the ice, the other team, one player after the other, in random time increments, stumbled onto the ice. This team wore bright pink jerseys and socks with a purple pony on the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Persuasive Essay On Why Hockey Is Important I think it is important to hockey because it will keep the fans entertained and the players will have fun. It also provides a job to certain people who are willing to get hurt for their team. We need it in the sport so it would be more entertaining for us to watch and other reasons. The whole point of fighting in hockey is to make it more interesting then all of the other sports. It keep their players and fans on their feet when the see one happening because it is the most exciting part about the sport. That's why teams hire people to just fight for the team and are willing to get a penalty for it as well. Without fighting the sport would not be the same it would be a lot more entertaining for the fans to watch because there would be no more contact. The coaches of the teams will pay the people getting in fights non stop a lot of money...show more content... Hockey is one of the only sports that will let contact like football or any other sports like those that will have people hitting others for the protection of others. In hockey it three periods instead of half and it has timed penalties instead of yards. I think we should allow fighting in hockey because it will make it the most unique sport out there. The sport has ups and downs like people getting sent to the hospital because of how bad the fights get but that is what keeps us into the sport even though someone is really hurt but he did it for his fans and for protecting his team. The fighting is called "Fisticuffs" it is so that the refs and couched will not interfere with the fighting and so they can just fight out their differences so that the game can go on. The two players that are fighting will get in some sort of trouble they might not be able to play some of the next game because their couches might not let them until they think they are ready to play without getting into anymore Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Why Is Hockey Important To Me Essay Playing hockey is a huge part of what defines me as a person. If I learned anything about growing up in Philladelphia, it would definitely be that you do not trash the hometown sports teams. In my house my dad lives and breathes Philly sports so naturally so do I. However, just watching sports was not enough for me, I had to play them too. So I tried to play soccer, baseball and run track. It was atrocious. I couldn't hit a baseball to save my life, and I wasn't fast so track and soccer didn't go well either. I was about to give up on my athletic career when the Philladelphia Flyers made the playoffs in 2010. I had never really followed hockey before, but the Flyers kept winning so I kept watching. I knew that I had to start playing this...show more content... Its how I go about preparing for a game. If I have a game after school I will bring a water bottle to school, if my game is on a weekend than I make sure that I am hydrating throughout the day at home. I always arrive at the rink an hour and a half early to allow time for stretching and meditation. How can I focus on winning a game if I am thinking about anything other than hockey? When I get in the zone nothing else in the world exists and it feels extremely freeing. Now it is about time to take the ice, the loud music in the looker room abrubtly stops as our coach walks into the room. He delivers the game plan and gestures to the door, implying to head on the ice. Time slows down as I wait to jump on the smooth surface. Adrenaline is building like a crescendo inside me. I can hear our student section stomping their feet on the stands creating a booming thunderous rythm. As my skate blade makes contact with the ice surface my adrenaline peaks and I am ready for battle! My transformation is complete and my alter–ego has been released. The most incredible thing that I experience is a feeling that I can't explain. How does time manage to fly yet stop, simultaneously? It's a phenomenon that I don't understand, but I don't need to because it feels Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Hockey Essay Hockey is a fast, exciting sport played by two teams on a sheet of ice called a rink. Each team has six players on the ice, one goalie, two defensemen, two wingers, and one center man. The players skate up and down the ice shooting or passing a hard rubber disk called a puck with sticks. They score points by hitting the puck into the net. Hockey is much faster and swifter than any other sport. As the players streak across the ice, their powerful shots and passes can send the puck faster than 100 miles [160 kilometers] per hour. A goalkeeper on each team defends his net from the puck going in. They must often make quick slides across the on their skates, stomachs, knees or backs to stop the puck from going into the net. A puck that...show more content... Skating is the most important hockey skill. Players must be able to turn sharply, skate backwards and perform many other maneuvers while skating at top speed. They must be able to do this with their head up and while stick handling the puck. Passing occurs when a player who has the puck passes it to another player. In most cases the players use their sticks to propel the puck toward the receiver. These passes are either flat passes or flip passes. To make a flat pass the player sends the puck traveling along the surface of the ice. To make a flip pass the player causes it to rise off the ice to avoid interception by an opponent. Sometimes the passer simply leaves the puck behind, so that a teammate can get it, this is called a drop pass. Stick handling is the use of the stick to control the puck. The player first moves the puck with one side of the blade and then with the other side while skating. The player makes some sweeps of the stick some wide and some narrow. In this way the player keeps the opponent guessing as to the next move and also makes it difficult to steal the puck. Shooting is the skill needed to drive the puck into the net and score goals. Most shots are either wrist shots or slap shots. In a wrist shot the blade does not leave the ice. The player uses strong wrist action to propel the puck. For a slap shot the player raises the stick for a back swing and Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Descriptive Essay On Hockey My hand grasped the cold metal handle and swung open the big wooden door. A gust of warm air immediately coaxed my face as I took a step into the building. I walked down a narrow hallway, passing the concessions and the locker rooms, and made my way toward the arena. I walked through a final set of doors and just like that, I was there. I heard the players blades carving up the ice, the coaches preparing for battle, and the glorious sound of our student section. As I walked towards my screaming classmates, I felt disappointed that I wasn't playing in the game that night. I had played hockey all my life and always dreamt of playing in the state playoffs. Unfortunately, I got cut from the team my junior year, so I was watching the game from...show more content... I was bouncing with excitement as the opening face off drew closer and closer. My eyes lit up in excitement as I sang The Star Spangled Banner with my fellow brothers. I was ready to be a game changer off of the ice. I was so excited to be in a student section that would finally be doing hockey related cheers. However, when the seniors began leading cheers, it was very evident that they did not have the same vision as myself. They repeated the same generic cheers that we used for all sporting events. Although we cheered loudly, the cheers were dull and were not improving the morale of the team. A few minutes into the game, the opposing team scored, and the atmosphere needed to be resurrected. I attempted to teach the senior leaders some basic hockey cheers. Unfortunately, they were not grasping the cheers very quickly, and every time they attempted to execute one; it failed. All of the seniors realized that there was only one way to teach the students the cheers and boost the team morale. The seniors huddled together, and when they broke, they invited me down to the front Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Hockey: Hockey As A Team Game On Hockey Introduction Hockey is a game of stick and ball with origins going back to thousands of years. It is conventionally played on grass, but more frequently it is played on man–made surfaces. Two teams play using hooked sticks to push, hit, pass and dribble a small, hard ball with single aim in mind i.e. to notch a goal by receiving the ball past the goalkeeper. Hockey is a team game played on a very large surface of field or ice or may be on street. With the Hockey stick in hand, players clash to strike the puck past the goalie into the opposite teams' goal net. Every team has somewhere from 12 to 30 plus players with at least one labeled goalie. Players are chosen as either defensive or offensive players. Every team has three forwards on the field or ice, a center, right wing and left wing, has two defensive players and a goalie. That is without a team is shorthanded due to a penalty. Structure of the Game Normally there are three, 20 minute periods in a normal hockey game. If the score...show more content... The supplementary 10 players are called field players, and are categorized into three namely attackers, midfielders and defenders. Stick handling Hockey players need be able to pass, push, control, stop and hit the ball with the given hockey stick. This is well–known as stick work or stick handling. Keeping the ball below close control is termed dribbling. The head of a hockey stick has a curved side i.e. the right side and a flat side i.e. the left side. It is one with the flat, left–hand side of the stick and the boundaries of that side which can be used to hit the ball. No feet Field players are not permitted to use their feet or any of the body parts to track the ball. Just the goalkeeper is permitted to make use hands, feet, etc. to halt or push the ball away from the net when guarding in his or her own circle. Ball in the Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Ten seconds left we need to score, I see my teammate breaking for the net, I throw the puck to him and he scores!!. Our bench clears everyone is yelling. All of a sudden I look at the referee and he's blowing his whistle as if he has spotted a fire. He is waving his hands back and forth across his body and that is never good when it comes to hockey. The ref claims the puck didn't cross the line. Everyone starts yelling at the ref instead of yelling for joy. Everyone knows there's nothing you can do to change the refs mind.

  • 8. Essay History Of Hockey For more than a century, hockey historians have found that precisely tracing the sports origin is not only a difficult task but, a virtual impossibility. Therefore I can only try to deduce for myself, from the records, claims, and accounts, which are available to me, when, where, and by whom the first ice hockey was played. I'll also discuss the early problems and obstacles that the NHL encountered. Plus I will also tell a little bit about early equipment, along with early game play and ice conditions that players encountered. Lastly, the Stanley Cup, which is the most prized and oldest sports award of the NHL. It has been won many times, by many different teams. Ice hockey is traceable to games played on fields as far back as nearly 2500 ...show more content... (Dolan page 21–26) Field hockey was played in 1870 in England, as well as Egypt and India. Although the rules for field hockey play a major role in the early evolution of ice hockey in Canada. But most students of the game doubt that field hockey was the forerunner of ice hockey, for the reason that both sports started around the same time. Despite its overwhelming popularity as primarily a woman's sport in North America, field hockey didn't arrive in America until 1901, (when Miss Constance Applebee of England arrived at Harvard summer school and organized a game with the group of students and teachers. (Dolan page 29–31) The English played a game called Bandy, which is a hockey–like game, who have been playing it as far back as the late 18th century and it is still played today in Russia, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and the United States (Minnesota). Many of the stars of the early Soviet hockey teams had been Bandy players. It is played on a large sheet of ice with short sticks, a ball and large goals. The Dutch, long known for their ice skating ability, have played the game Kolven since the 1600's. It is played with a golf–like stick, a ball, and posts stuck in the ice for goals. Evidence of this game can be seen it in 17th century Dutch paintings. Emigrants from Holland who settled in New York City played the game in their new locale.

  • 9. Ice Hockey Essay Ice Hockey This report is going to be on the game Ice hockey. A game of hockey is divided into three twenty minute time periods that are called periods. Between each period there is a fifth teen minute intermission. In hockey there are several ways a game may end if there is a tie at the end of regulation. The pros use one twenty sudden death period in which the first to score is the winner. In the amateurs they use a shoot out in which five players from each team are selected and allowed to go one on one with the opposing goalie and which ever team scores the most goals after all five members for both teams have taken their shot they are the winners. If there is a tie after this it keeps repeating until a winner is crowned....show more content... A defensemen's shift will often be slightly longer then that of a winger or a center. There are three different types of penalties in hockey a minor, a major, and a noncontact penalties. Non contact penalties occur when a player hit's the puck from his zone past the red goal line in the other teams zone and a member from his team does not touch it, however the goalie for the opposing team can wave it off and keep the puck in play, this is called icing. Another non contact penalty is when a teammate passes the puck to another teammate and it goes over a blue and red line without being touched before crossing both lines this called a two line pass. The last of the non contact penalties is off sides and this when an opposing team is going into their defenders zone and they pass the blue line before the puck does (the puck has to be the first thing to pass the blue line going into the zone). A minor penalty is assessed when an excessive amount of body or equipment is used to impede the speed or shot of an opponent. The player must then sit in the penalty box for two minutes of play and his team must play a man down (power play). If the opposing team scores during this time the man then can leave the box. A major penalty is given when most often for fighting or a severely violent act, and results in five minutes in the penalty box and return to play. This can also result in a game misconduct in which the player may not return to the game, but Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. Reflection Paper On Hockey It has been said that it takes a village to raise a child and I can say that my village is the ice hockey community. Hockey in the United States is relatively small when compared to the other team sports, but it is a tight knit community. Having played hockey since I was seven years old, I have spent more time in ice rinks, hotels, and traveling to tournaments than just about anywhere else and the lessons I have learned along the way have shaped me into the person I am today. I learned to play hockey at a free program that was hosted by the Dallas Stars. Professional players, that make millions of dollars a year, volunteered their spare time to share their passion for hockey and taught us kids how to skate and the fundamentals of the game. Keeping with the spirit of the volunteerism I learned from the players that helped me, I donate as much time as I can, helping people discover the love of hockey, from young children, individuals with disabilities and even adults. Ironically, I was selected to help coach in this same Dallas Stars program and there is nothing more rewarding than seeing the smiles on a little kids face they lace up their skates and hit the ice for the first time. Hockey is a grind, even for young players. It is a long season, spanning from August to March. Practices can be early in the morning, before school or late in the evening. Tournaments were on all of the major holidays, so traveling over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year was the norm. This is Get more content on HelpWriting.net

NHL Hockey and Olympic hockey are very different due to each league having their own style of play. In Olympic hockey Fighting is frowned upon, those who fight receive a penalty match, and will be ejected from the game. In the NHL fighting, is what most fans come to watch fighting allowed and after the fight is over all players involved in the scuffle will be penalized and put into the penalty box? The penalty box is where players have to sit after a fight and other behavior infractions for a certain amount of time. Tied games in the Olympics is followed by ten minutes of sudden death, in the NHL, the game stays in the extra period...show more content... All of the rosters of the twelve teams have at least one NHL player on its roster. However, the NHL is thinking about not letting its players play in the Olympics because it cuts into the season, and there is a risk of getting there star players injured. When Team USA beat the Soviet in 1980 it was important for the US hockey world because that team was seeded seventh entering the game against the Soviet Union. During the 1980 Olympic run the average was 22 and all the players were that year were both amateur and college players and the Soviet's team was mainly professional and experienced players. This win gave coach Herb Brooks a place in history because he did something no other USA coach has done for the last twenty years and that is beat Russia, and he was named sportsman of the year in 1990. In the Olympics for Hockey, they take the helmet and protecting the face rule very serious. During warm–ups, it has been required that all players wear helmets. If a player is not wearing his helmet correctly during the game, the game will be stopped and the player is penalized. The NHL is a little bit easier on players, it's not required like in the Olympics where players have to wear a helmet during pre–game and if your helmet comes off in the during NHL play the game continues.

I go to an all–boys high school that has a reputation both for its academics and athletics; therefore, it attracts many strong athletes. The first day of tryouts I couldn't believe how many people were there. Although I thought I had some talent, there were a lot of talented players and I did not make the team. I was very disappointed. One of the reasons I chose my high school was because I hoped to play on their hockey team. Because I did not make my schools team, I could enter the player pool of the High School Hockey League of Nassau County. I was very fortunate to be picked up by a new team. I didn't know anyone on the team, but I decided to make the best of it. I have had four great years of high school and travel hockey, and have made many great and lasting friendships.

  • 13. Narrative Essay On Hockey The summers of my adulthood were short, very short. I lived in 2 places in the time I got off from ice hockey from living with my mom and dad and with my cousin Vicky, practicing for hockey. We visited mostly everybody we knew who lived near us, from Calgary all the way to Vancouver. As days got bigger and bigger, mine got shorter and shorter by time. The real battle for me was on the ice hockey rink from scoring goals to winning face offs, everything was important. School for me was like saying guilty in the court for doing some sort of crime without even knowing it.

Mistakes, Mistakes, Mistakes is all I thought about that day as my hockey team was getting examined by aliens one by one. I thought this was a dream so I rubbed my eyes and the outcome was the same. The aliens were really scary, they looked like mental clowns who were drunk and worse, etc. The aliens asked us many questions like why are you playing hockey and what team you guys play for, etc. As the aliens got tired of asking us questions, we got tired from sitting in this unknown paradise in the middle of nowhere. When the aliens told us why they kidnapped us, it kind of made sense after all. They said that they needed respected people like us to join Isis and to bomb all the hockey teams and their hockey teams. The aliens said that they were the dead people from the 911 incident and now want revenge for the people who did it. They said that we would have to do 9/11 again in the same style and the same date this year.

  • 14. My Experience At The Hockey Team Essay Ever sense I was a young girl I've been really into physical activities. At the age of five I started skating and instantly fell in–love. At the age of six my dad enrolled me into hockey, and from that point on my life has never been the same. I've had numerous opportunities in sports such as: winning gold and silver for U18 Team Canada hockey, and getting a scholarship to Wisconsin University to play on the women's hockey team. Although these moments are surreal, it is not only the moments that I remember but the mentors and teachers that I have been fortunate to meet along the way. These coaches have not only taught me the game but have also taught me life values such as: teamwork, leadership, discipline, time management and much more. Without hockey, and sports in general I don't know where I would be today, but I do know one thing and that is without sports I wouldn't have met all the amazing people that helped guided me towards wanting to become a physical education teacher. Sports have always been a huge part of my life, and I am blessed to have sports guide me through life. Thus, I want to become a teacher to help kids have the same opportunities that I had growing up. In grade eleven I signed up for a cooperative education experience at my high school school, Glebe Collegiate Institute.

For my cooperative education experience I decided to work at the fitness facility in the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 15. Write An Essay On Hockey Case A judge must decide whether an accused is guilty or innocent based solely on the evidence presented to them in trial. They can not implement judicial notice based on personal experiences, or understanding of facts in which they are not experts in.

Hockey strategy is a very disputable, and controversial topic, this false reasoning led to the trial judge engaging in speculative reasoning. Which in result, hindered the fairness of the accused's trial. Furthermore, there were several issues in this trial, however, once it is concluded that there is one issue, there is no need to examine the others. Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 16. Narrative Essay On Hockey 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 the home of the only high school girls hockey team in the area.

  • 17. Essay About Hockey Why One Hockey Player Can Make A World Of Difference By: Jami Ness As a Canadian, hockey is something very important to me and my family. Especially the Calgary Flames. When I was younger, the Calgary Flames never made the Stanley Cup Playoffs, that was something very frustrating for all Flames fans. This all changed when Sean Monahan was drafted in 2013 and turned the franchise around. Sean was a resilient child that showed throughout his hockey career. Sean made the Calgary Flames a true playoff contender by bringing more offensive power to them than they've ever seen. This truly changed the Calgary Flames and how the city of Calgary and fans from all around view hockey and many kids are inspired to be as good as Sean. Sean...show more content... By this point he was a well known centreman. He started off his first season with a bang by obtaining 6 goals in the first 9 games. He has made the playoffs twice out of four seasons with the Flames. In his second playoff run, he got 4 goals second to Sidney Crosby's winger, Jake Guentzel. He also got his 100th goal this year, being the youngest flame to achieve it and the 6th youngest NHLer right under very acclaimed players like Kane and Stamkos. He was recognized as a upcoming tremendous hockey player and was invited to play in the 2011 17U hockey challenge and was a key role in Team Toronto winning. By this point in time, Sean was well known across theNational Hockey League as a centreman who knew how to score, set up plays, and run a great powerplay line effortlessly. Even though Monahan has been in the NHL for 4 years he continues to have the same power and speed he originally came with. The fan–base for the Flames has grown tremendously; especially with kids since Sean was drafted. Everytime I go to Calgary for a hockey game, I see more Monahan jerseys than anyone else because he is what every kid wants to become, a fast hockey player who scores; lots. The game has changed since 2013, and it's all because of Sean Monahan. Although there are many players who score as often, if not more often than Sean, what sets him apart is his drive, intelligence, speed and agility. Sean monahan has changed the game for all fans, players who play with and players Get more content on HelpWriting.net
