1900’s. I will focus on the hockey articles in this first paragraph and argue how hockey as a sport has shaped society to be a hegemonic one. To begin, I will summarize the hockey articles discussed in the newspaper and bring up what I thought is important not only to how sports was reported and looked at but as well how sports shapes society and as well sets gender norms.

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.

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,…
