Ice rink

I dashed to the front of the net, expecting Jacob to take it around and pass. I was right, or so I thought. He took the puck around, intentionally drawing some defense, then fired it through the crease, in front of which I stood. I fired it over the pads, and it hit the net, rolling around for a few seconds before the goalie swept it out for the ref to take. GOAL! *********************************************** I think everyone has at least something at which they are good. Whether it be playing…

The best day that happened in school was when the whole 8th grade went ice skating. This was the first trip that we were going to have for the 8th grade year. On this day, I was really excited to go ice skating but i was worried at the same time. We were waiting for the bus to come and then when it did come my friends and I sat in the back and we told jokes, some of us were on social media and the rest of us listened to music. When we arrived to the place, they took us upstairs so we…

We stumbled one by one onto the ice. the cold air immediately stung my cheeks and numbed my toes. The other players were warming up; effortlessly weaving through cones and performing crossovers with such ease that it looked as if they were dancing the waltz in a ballroom, swiftly gliding back and forth, making sharp and precise turns, before lining up to practice shooting. A wrist shot, a snapshot, a slapshot a -the nets not over there -shot. In the locker room, everyone boasted to each other;…

Origins can sometimes be a difficult thing to trace and understand. That includes the sport hockey. Hockey is a fast paced game played on ice that is very complex and simple at the same time, but the roots of the game are not as precise as other sports' roots. The exact start of hockey is hard to tell because it was not recorded since the beginning and making of the game, but there are also beginnings in hockey that are set in stone such as the first organized hockey game, the first hockey…

Geometry of Ice Hockey Geometry is involved in our everyday lives, whether we realize it or not. Many sports involve geometry, especially shapes and angles. In particular, the game of NHL Ice Hockey is greatly influenced by geometry. For example, it is used in passing, face-offs, division of zones, and goalkeeping. Players on the ice manipulate the rules of geometry to strategically place the puck in different areas on the rink. Geometry plays a major role in sports, especially ice hockey, as…

I started hockey when I was in first grade, or seven years old. I wasn’t the greatest when I first started, but I always practiced the hardest I possibly could . The thing I remember the most about hockey was when I was little was going to the ice rink every Sunday morning with my dad, which was the part of hockey that I loved the most. At those practices we always worked on the basic fundamentals such as skating and stopping. Now that seems easy, but it once was very difficult for me. After I…

On the last day of school before the Christmas holidays, Percival was taking his class down to the local outdoor rink for an afternoon of ice skating. A gang of fifteen eight-year-olds was a little much for Percival to handle on his own but fortunately Gwaine wasn't scheduled for a shift at the fire station that day, so he'd volunteered to help…

as he did for my older brother Andrew as well. Growing up, my father would dedicate many winter days and nights building and maintaining an outdoor rink in our backyard. The three of us would spend countless hours back there after school and on weekends throughout the winter. Our backyard rink allowed me to foster the skills I needed to excel in ice hockey as a child and I was eager and determined…

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 scores, although they may also get ranked on how many assist he or she gets, and a player may also be…
