United States Hockey League

The feeling of landing the perfect triple axel, the feeling of falling on a horrid triple loop, the feeling of the ghost cold air pushing against my face as I soar across the ice. The best of all though is the feeling of being on the open ice with no one else on it but you and the judges staring at you and an arena full of people chanting your name and screaming. That is what I thought my life was going to be like, but boy was I wrong, although that is exactly my life on the ice. My life on the…

In literature and in life, halcyon moments are integral to our development as individuals. In the story “Lifeguard” Chris’ halcyon moment is when he is, “high diving, [Chris] like[s] everything about it, the swing of [his] back [when] [Chris] climb[s] the ladder, the metal steps and rungs cold under [his] feet and hands. [Chris] even like[s] the way [his] stomach falls away when [he] get[s] to the top and [can] feel the pebbly grain of the platform under [his] feet” (Scott p.22 line 20-23). The…

everybody knew about Glenn Hall, Stan Mikita, Pierri Pilote, and Bobby Hull. Mikita was awarded his first Art Ross Trophy in 1964 and Hull scored 50 goals in one regular season, which was considered a lot back in that time because of how little the league was. Fewer teams, fewer games to be played. Mikita also had real temper that made their games more interesting to watch. He managed to rack up 149 penalty minutes in the 1964 regular season due to a lot of fighting on the ice. "I realized most…

Ice hockey culture, which has changed throughout time in order to adjust to society, revolves around simplistic ideas rooted deep within the origins and the minuscule changes that are necessary to the game. Certain ideas remain prominent, where players of a team look for solitary expression, the footwear has added a metal blade in the transition from field hockey to ice hockey, and the puck has revolutionized the game with improvements in speed. Ice hockey provides all the aspects of a…

They come equipped with memes comparing their hardy hockey heroes to those pansies on the soccer or basketball benches. Search the #PleaseLikeMySport hashtag on Twitter and you will find plenty of these fans, blissfully unaware that they are the butt of the joke. I get it, hockey players are tough. You cannot make it to the NHL…

understand the rules of hockey, and all they know is that it is played by Canadians. Most don’t understand the appeal of being in a freezing cold room, chasing a small rubber puck on blades as sharp as knives, trying to prevent five behemoths from destroying you. Most would choose to not play hockey, but I am not like most. The crashing of the boards. The sound of skates on ice. The ringing of posts. The sound of goal horns and high fives. This is what I live for. This is hockey. Hockey has…
