time in NHL history, a live play by play was announced, using an upright telephone, from the rafters of the Mutual Street Arena here in Toronto. Foster Hewitt, the son of respected journalist William Hewitt, was born in Toronto. He is a passionate hockey fan. “I never actually expected to become a sports broadcaster. I always just expected to write the articles about the game afterwards.” Foster said in an interview with the press. The game was between the Toronto St. Pats and the Montreal…

Like ping pong and pool, air hockey is a fun, table-based game that incorporates hand-eye coordination with strategy to win. A typical air hockey table is about 4'x6' in size. The game surface of the table is perforated with hundreds of tiny holes. These holes allow air to flow through them and puck to glide smoothly. The playing field can be covered with blue and red lines similar to those seen in ice hockey. When you begin playing, you pick one player as the server. The player serves the…

something at which they are good. Whether it be playing cards, writing books, or maybe surfing or painting, everyone has at least one thing at which they are good, or at least something in which they are confident. Hockey is that thing for me. “I enjoy playing hockey, in fact I am great at hockey,” as Donald Trump would say, although I am not great. I am good, but have many things to learn; last year I shot pucks every day in my garage because I could barely shoot and pass, not to mention…

It is hard to say that a game in the NHL has no effect on you in the playoffs. However, if there was it would have to be game one of the regular season. The game was the New York Rangers vs the Chicago Blackhawks, the pregame would be the banner raising ceremony for the 2015 Stanley Cup Champions. Then, after what seemed like a ceremony that took 2 hours long it was game time. The puck dropped and the season started, and it would be the Rangers on the board first with and goal by Oscar Lindberg,…

As I read the article, “A Gay Referee Tries to Find His Place in Hockey” by Jason Buckland, it became obvious that the sport that I love so much needs to change. I had no idea that there wasn’t a single gay person in or even associated with the NHL. The NBA and the NFL have already welcomed their first gay players so why can’t the NHL? I’ve been playing hockey for the past 12 years and have often ignored the homophobic language because trash talk is so ingrained in hockey’s culture. Go on…

Once there was a lonely racetrack, and no one had raced on it for twenty five years. The track was very curvy with a lot of loops. It had jumps over lakes, and it was the hardest training facility in the world. This was why it had to close down. The track was in a city in Québec. There were tons of people getting ready for this race for a long time. Callum, the mayor, called for this race because he wanted to see who was the best driver in Québec. The three main drivers were Ollie, Jack, and…

The team has a long-standing history of success, but recently the team has remained one of the most dominant groups in sports. The club has won three of the last six Stanley Cup Championships; the most recent being the 2015 championship. Unfortunately for the team, leadership and the fans that follow, the Blackhawks were unable to make it to the Stanley Cup…
