DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire men’s hockey team has hired Hockey Hall of famer and former Boston Bruins’ president, Cam Neely, to take over the head coaching duties for the 2017 season.

With current head coach Dick Umile retiring at the end of the upcoming season, the Wildcats needed to lock up a new…

People say there is always someone from a movie, or show we can relate to. Mine is SpongeBob from the television show SpongeBob SquarePants. I relate to SpongeBob because, SpongeBob and me, despite how we get, we will always feel like a child on the inside. Also, we both like to make the most fun out of everything. Finally, SpongeBob and I try to come off friendly to everybody when we can. First, I need to talk about how childish SpongeBob and me are. I still to this day act childish even…

Wayne Gretzky was born in Brantford, Ontario, Canada on January 26, 1961. He began skating at a very early age. According to “Wayne Gretzky Biography,” “he learned to skate on the Ninth River near his grandfather's farm in Canning, Ontario, and at public rinks on weekends. But it was the rink his father built for him behind the little house on Varadi Avenue in Brantford that became known as the birthplace of his skating skills.” Gretzky was only six years old when he began his first year in…

My Thanksgiving vacation could have been more enjoyable. I did very much working over break. Starting from the beginning, on Tuesday after they released us from school, I drove all the way down to Des Moines because I had to work. I am employed at the Des Moines Buccaneers Hockey Arena. My sister Kaylee and I work in the Pirates cove. Buccaneer clothing can be purchased in the cove. It’s a USHL hockey league that boys from ages 16 to 19 play in for scholarships to colleges they have signed to.…

rules that players are required to follow. Some rules of the game are that the player must hit the puck with the stick to score, the puck can be kicked, but not into the net to score. On the ice there are three forwards, one goalie, and two defensemen. The only time a team has less than six people on the ice is during a penalty, at that time a player is deferred to the penalty box leaving only five players for a period of time. When one team is playing with only five players the other team has…

Should Canada Export Its Water to the United States? Whether or not Canada should export water to the United States has been an ongoing dispute over the past few decades. The U.S. has been through a number of terrible droughts but it seems as though they are reaching the point where some drastic changes will need to be made. Three of the endless amount of reasons why Canada should not export water to the U.S. is because of the cost, no benefits, and damaged ecosystems. One of the foremost…

are relatively hard to imitate and they appeal to a large array of customers. Nevertheless, ice cream is not the only product Ben & Jerry’s offer, an additional part of their product portfolio consists of sorbet, frozen yoghurt, ice cream bars, milkshakes, smoothies and sundaes. Therefore, Ben & Jerry’s products fall under the category of related diversification since as previously mentioned regarding ice cream and sorbet, “the joint production of two goods is less costly than the cost of…

“Ouch!” I remember saying, the first time I fell down onto the ice. That had been my first time skating and It was not a pretty experience. Every time I would attempt to take a shot, I would fall and get very frustrated. Thank Goodness my Dad helped me up and never gave up on training and teaching me to play at my highest expectations. Every once in awhile, my dad and I would skate on the ice for extra practice. I would always watch ice hockey on TV and I would go to the Los Angeles Kings games…

Imagine a rocket, specifically molded, perfectly symmetrical, prepared to do it’s job exactly how it needs to with no room for error. Seems almost perfect, on the other hand we have the Rockets, my AAA hockey team the summer before sixth grade. It was made up of players from the La Crosse area who played and practiced together every summer for the last few years. We weren’t exactly the most organized team in the sense of having professional attitudes. The ceiling at our practice arena had leaks…

I had a lot to prove, to show that I was good enough to make the team that had been the nearly the same for the last 2 years. I poured my soul on to the ice that week in an all out effort to earn a roster spot on the Milton WinterHawks peewee AA team. I skated with efficiency, and purpose, with every stride I felt closer to my goal. As the first couple of rounds of cuts happened it seemed that I was getting…
