Hockey helmet

the ice for extra practice. I would always watch ice hockey on TV and I would go to the Los Angeles Kings games sometimes. I would look up at them and wish to be just like them one day! I grew up in Glendora, which was not much of a hockey city, but that didn't mean anything to me! It is a bit of a rough drive for my parents to drive out to Ontario every Tuesday nights so a special thanks to them for supporting me with hockey. Hockey runs throughout my family and they have…

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be an Olympic hockey player. Hockey is an event in the winter Olympics which is held in South Korea. Competition is one of the key things you need to know about hockey. The main goal of the event is to get the hockey puck in the goal. The dimensions of the hockey rink are 200 feet long and 100 feet wide that's 15 feet wider than an NHL hockey rink. Every goal in hockey is one point to the team that scored. A athlete gets ranked on how he or she…

Hockey sticks aren’t like they are now, made of fiberglass with a small curve and a slight bend. They have evolved from bamboo then to willow tree branches in the mid-1800s which was produced in India. After they found that this was a hard way to play the game they invested in actually carving hockey sticks out of wood with straight blades. These wood hockey sticks use to have a long bend in the end which was impossible to hit on the reverse side the hook was 124mm across. By 1850 and 1860…

written to be accepted into Pre-IB in 9th grade, and start IB in 11th grade. I also spend a lot of my free time on either the soccer, and field hockey field. A goal I would like to accomplish in high school is to make either JV, or Varsity in my freshman year for field hockey. An action that I can take to make this possible is to take part in field hockey clinics, and camps during the summer to increase my chances of fulfilling my goals. If I take into consideration all of the time and effort I…

came of the ice. They had just scored another goal in the game against Wisconsin and the score was now 2:1 with them winning. Yet he wasn’t in goal for this game either. Derek is one of the two goalies on the Lincoln Stars Hockey team and is going to Harvard next year to play hockey, and for school. The past summer he has been working really hard and studying as well as he possibly can so he does good next year at Harvard, which is going to be a tough school that will expect a lot from him. He…

takes Pauline’s hockey table and puts it on top of the book shelf so Pauline could not reach it (84). Pauline’s game being moved in location where she cannot reach it represents how initially she feels like she is unable to achieve her dream of playing hockey. The author uses Pauline’s situation to teach the reader that sometimes our goals seem out of reach at first. Second, the triggering event that changes Pauline when Marie gives her a hockey stick (86). By giving Pauline a hockey stick she…

Hockey I love hockey and I also love playing it. Before I came to Canada, I didn’t know hockey existed in Canada. When I started school in Canada, I was in grade four (4), I played hockey for the first time and I loved it right away. Did I forget to mention, I was good at it too even though I never played it before that. I learned about hockey in school and every times I had gym class, I couldn’t wait to go and play. In grade five (5), I was in a floor hockey team. I do not play ice hockey due…

WHOOSH! That’s the sound of the opposing team scoring one of many excruciatingly painful goals. Last year my lacrosse team entered an All Star tournament in Wilmington, North Carolina unknowing the fatal consequences. Don’t get me wrong, our team was good but nowhere near All Star status and our record shows crystal clear that we were not ready for the ocean of skill but rather showed we should stick in our quiet, desolate puddle. My theory on why my team’s numb skulled coaches entered us is…

My participation in competitive hockey began ten years ago through the North Bay Girls Minor Hockey Association in North Bay, Ontario. Since then, hockey has become a lifestyle and a major part of my own identity. The first nine years of my hockey career were spent in North Bay as a part of the Ice Boltz team. My obligation to the team and desire to be successful required me to make sacrifices in my personal life. Travelling to games and practices, working out during the summer, and…

Fighting in Hockey Ice Hockey is a combination of speed, precision and skill like no other sport, where players are put onto ice with an inch of a steel blade strapped to their feet. One aspect that has been criticized with the game of hockey is its violence in the form of fighting, as it is the only national league sport where it is encouraged. Fighting and hockey has been forever linked together since the sport was established, from scrapping with friends on the frozen pond for fun to…
