INTRODUCTION

ce hockey is a sport played on an ice rink with ice skates. Players use hockey

sticks to propel a flat hockey puck on the ice and into a goal. At the end of the

allotted time, the team with the most goals wins the game.

Ice hockey is a very popular sport world wide. In the United States and Canada

hockey is popular at both the college and professional level. Hockey is a very fast

and exciting sport. Hockey players skate at very high speeds, running into each

other with great force, but skating and controlling the puck with great dexterity. The

combination of skill, speed, toughness, and action has made hockey a popular

sport to watch as well as play

GAMEPLAY

The Hockey Rink

The hockey rink is 200 feet long and 85 feet wide. It has rounded corners to allow

the puck to keep moving even through the corners. There is a goal at each end of

the rink with room (13 feet) behind the goal for hockey players to skate around it.

There is a red line dividing the center of the hockey rink. There are two blue lines

on each side of the red lines that divide the rink into three zones:

1) The Defending Zone - the area behind the blue line

2) The Attack Zone -the area behind the other teams blue line

3) The Neutral Zone - the area between the blue lines

There are also five face-off areas. There is one face-off circle at the center of the

hockey rink and two at each end.

Ice Hockey Players

Each hockey team has 6 players on the rink at a time: the goaltender, two

defensemen, and three forwards (left, right, and center). Although the defensemen

are primarily defenders and the forwards are primarily goal scorers, all the hockey

players are responsible for whatever action is happening on the rink. The hockey

puck moves fast and so do the players. Defensemen will often be involved in the

offense and forwards are responsible for defending their area of the hockey rink.

The forwards and defensemen often play as units called lines. The forward lines

change often to give these hockey players rest during the game. Defense lines

change as well, but not as often. The goalie usually plays the whole game unlesshe begins to struggle. Then the goalie may be replaced for another goalie.

Ice Hockey Equipment

Each hockey player wears skates, pads, and a helmet at all times. They each have

a hockey stick as well which is how they hit and guide the puck. The puck is a flat

smooth hard rubber disk. Hard slap shots can cause the puck to travel at speeds of

90 miles per hour or more.

HISTORY

There are many examples of games throughout history incorporating hitting a ballon an ice-covered surface which predate hockey. IJscolf, a gameresembling colfon an ice-covered surface, was popular in the LowCountries between the Middle Ages and the Dutch Golden Age. It was played with

a wooden curved bat (called a colforkolf), a wooden or leather ball and two poles(or nearby landmarks), with the objective to hit the chosen point using the leastnumber of strokes. A similar game (knattleikr) had been played for a thousandyears or more by the Vikings, as documented in the Icelandic sagas.

However, modern hockey is believed to have evolved from outdoor stick-and-ballgames adapted to the icy conditions of Canada during the 19th century The gamesofBritish soldiers and immigrants to Canada (influenced by First Nations stick-and-ball games) may have influenced the game played on ice skates (often with a

puck) with sticks made by the Mi'kmaq people ofNova Scotia. Another theory isthat the game was introduced by Icelandic immigrants adapting the gameofknattleikr. These immigrants moved to Canada and the U.S. after the eruption ofa volcano in Iceland in 1875. Immigrants from Iceland played forCanada, winning the first Olympic medal in hockey.[6]

These games provided recreation for British soldiers. Canadian oralhistories describe a traditional stick-and-ball game played by the Mi'kmaq ineastern Canada, and Silas Tertius Rand (in his 1894 Legends of the Micmacs)describes a Mi'kmaq ball game known as tooadijik. Rand also describes a gameplayed (probably after European contact) with hurleys, known as wolchamaadijik.[7]

Stick-and-ball games date back to pre-Christian times. In Europe, these gamesincluded Irish sport hurling, the closely related Scottish sport shinty and versionsoffield hockey (including "bandie ball," played in England). European immigrants toCanada brought their games, adapting them to the icy conditions. The name"hockey" has no clear origin, although its first known mention in English dates to1363.[8][9]

"Ye Gude Olde Days" fromHockey: Canada's Royal Winter Game, 1899

Early 19th-century paintings depict shinney (or "shinny"), an early form of hockeywith no standard rules which was played in Nova Scotia.[citation needed] Many of theseearly games absorbed the physical aggression of what the Mi'kmaq in Nova Scotiacalled dehuntshigwa'es(lacrosse). Shinney was played on the St. LawrenceRiverat Montreal and Quebec City, and in Kingston

[10]and Ottawa, Ontario. The

number of players was often large. To this day, shinney (derived from "shinty") is apopular Canadian[11]term for an informal type of hockey, either ice orstreethockey.

In 1825, John Franklin wrote "The game of hockey played on the ice was themorning sport" on Great Bear Lake during one of his Arctic expeditions. A mid-1830s watercolor portrays New Brunswick lieutenant governor Archibald Campbell

and his family with British soldiers on skates playing a stick-on-ice sport. CaptainR.G.A. Levinge, a British Army officer in New Brunswick during Campbells time,wrote about "hockey on ice" on Chippewa Creek (a tributary of the Niagara River)in 1839. In 1843 another British Army officer in Kingston, Ontario wrote, "Began toskate this year, improved quickly and had great fun at hockey on the ice."

[10]An

1859 Boston Evening Gazettearticle referred to an early game of hockey on ice inHalifax that year.[12]

Thomas Chandler Haliburton, in The Attache: Second Series(published in 1844),reminisced about boys from King's College School in Windsor, Nova Scotia playing"hurly on the long pond on the ice" when he was a student there in 1810 andearlier.[7][12]Based on Haliburton's account, there have been claims that modernhockey was invented in Windsor, Nova Scotia, by King's College students and

named after an individual (Colonel Hockey's game).

[13]

Others claim that theorigins of hockey come from games played in the area of Dartmouth and Halifax inNova Scotia.

RULES

1) Icing in Hockey

The rule of icing is key to hockey play. The rule is intended to keep defendingteams from just smacking the puck to the other end of the rink every time they

were pressured by the offense. This would make it even more difficult to score andwould also make the game a bit boring.

Icing is called when a player his the puck across the red line towards the attackzone and:

The puck is not aimed at the net. The puck must get all the way to the other end of the rink without a defender

being able to touching it. This is up to the linesmen to determine. If an offensive player touches the puck before or just after it hits the other

end of the rink, there is no icing. Icing is not called on the short handed team during a power play.

If icing is called then the puck comes all the way back to the defensive zone for a

face-off.

2) Offside in Hockey

8/12

When moving the puck into the attack zone, the puck must enter the zone before

any offensive player or offside is called. This means that any time the puck leaves

the offensive zone all the offensive players have to come back over the blue line

and then get the puck back into the offensive zone before they enter it. If you are

ever watching a hockey game and wondering "why are those guys are skating

back and why is that guy skating parallel to the blue line instead of attacking?".

Well, now you know.

There is also offside for a two-line pass. This is where a pass is made from the

defensive zone over the blue line and the red line before it's touched by another

offensive player.

3) Hockey Penalties

As in many sports, there are many possible penalties in ice hockey. Unlike manyothers sports, the hockey player committing the penalty may have to go to the

penalty box for a length of time and his team will have to play short-handed. This is

called a power play for the other team and is a great scoring opportunity.

Some hockey penalties include:

Boarding - A violent check of a hockey player when they are facing the boards.

They get smashed up against the boards and can get injured.

Cross-checking - checking another player with your hockey stick held in front ofyour body in both hands.

Elbowing - That's right no elbows. Use your shoulders!

High Sticking - hitting another hockey player above the shoulder with the stick.

Holding - grabbing another player or another player's hockey stick.

Hooking - using the hockey stick or blade to hold up another players progress.

Tripping - That's right you can't trip or you go to the penalty box.

Other hockey rules surround the crease or area around the goal. Players must not

interfere with the goaltender inside the crease.

CHARACTERISTICS

Ice hockey is a team sport played on ice, in whichskatersuse woodenorcompositesticks toshoota hard rubberhockey puck(hockey puck is composedof vulcanized hard rubber) into their opponent's net to score points. In theUnitedStatesandCanada, where the sport is very popular, it is known simply as"hockey"; however, the name ice hockey is used by their own governing body(IIHF) and in most other countries. There the word hockey is generally reserved foranother form of the sport, such asfield hockeyorroller hockey. The game isplayed between two teams with six players (five skaters and a goalie) on the ice. Ateam usually consists of four lines of three forwards, three pairs of defensemen,and two goalies. Five members of each team skate up and down the ice trying totake the puck and score agoalagainst the opposing team. Each team hasagoaltenderwho tries to stop the puck from going into the goal or "net."

A fast-paced physical sport, hockey is most popular in areas ofNorthAmerica(particularly inCanadaand northern parts of theUnited States)andEuropethat are sufficiently cold for natural reliable seasonal ice cover. Withthe advent ofindoorartificialice rinkshockey has become a year-round pastime insome areas. In North America, theNational Hockey League(NHL) is the highestlevel for men, and the most popular. It is the officialnational winter sportofCanada,[1]where the game enjoys immense popularity. The first organized gamewas played on March 3, 1875, in Montreal, Canada.

Field hockey, commonly known as hockey, is ateam sportwhich is playedbetween two teams of eleven players withhockey sticksand a ball, it is known asone of the easiest sports there is. At the turn of the 21st century, the game is

played under Gretzky's shadow in Edmonton where he won five Stanley

Cups and then went to the New York Rangers where he won their firstStanley Cup in 50 years after he personally guaranteed the Rangers

would a game over the New Jersey Devils. What makes Messier truly

great is not his toughness or point scoring but his leadership which is

recognized as the greatest leader of all-time.9. Scott Stevens

Scott Stevens was a big part of the trap defense of the 1990's. His

toughness and solid defensive play won the devils three cups in a 30team NHL is less than 10 years. Stevens is the league's greatest body

checker of all-time who like Richard scared opponents with his eyesalone. He finally won his award in 2003 when he won the Conn Smythe

for winning his third Stanley Cup for the devils.

8. Guy Lafleur

Guy Lafleur was part of the 1970's Canadiens

which is considered one of the most dominant

dynasties of all-time. In 1976-77 they lost only8 out of 80 games. Lafleur is the first player toscore 50 goals and 100 points in six straight

seasons.7. Doug Harvey

The most consistent defenseman in the NHL ever.Bobby Orr broke most of his records but Harvey played

18 seasons and was an instrumental part of the

Canadiens 1950's Stanley Cup wins.

6. Dominik Hasek

No goalie intimidated NHL goal scorers than


11/12

11

Hasek. He brought his GAA to under 2 a game, and his unorthodox style

changed goaltending in the NHL. Stand-up goalies soon becameobsolete as Hasek's butterfly style made it near impossible for teams to

score on him. His greatest moment was the 1998 Olympics where he

stopped all five Canadian shooters in the shootout.

5. Gordie Howe

No player has played in more games. Gordie

Howe played till he was 52 with skill,toughness, and surpassed endurance. Mr.

Hockey is third in the league for points andthe term the "Gordie Howe" Hat Trick for a

goal, an assist, and a fight is still used to

recognize the impact he made on thegame.

4. Maurice "The Rocket" Richard

The first player to score 50 goals in 50 games is considered the

greatest goal scorer in NHL history. Richard will always beknown as the greatest Canadiens player of all-time for his 544

goals and Five Stanley Cup rings.

3. Bobby Orr

The league's first offensive defenseman. Orr brought

a new offensive element to the game when as adefenseman he won the Art Ross trophy and made

the offensive defenseman a vital part of the game.

His career with cut short by a knee injury but in his

short career no other defenseman was as dominant.

2. Mario Lemieux

The NHL's most lethal goal and point scorer on a

per game basis. He has been called the greatest

player of all-time by Scotty Bowman, the NHL

coach with the most wins, and has one twoStanley Cups and was the MVP of both wins. Hearrived as a superstar play at 1987 Canada Cup

where he scored the game winner. UnlikeGretzky he didn't play for a dominant team and

most of his career he's been plagued by a badback and cancer. But kept coming back and he is still playing in the NHL

at 39.

1. Wayne Gretzky

Over 61 NHL records, 4 Stanley Cups, and two time Canada Cup MVP.Wayne Gretzky shattered most of the league's offensive records and

was part of two of the greatest NHL teams ever assembled. TheEdmonton Oilers of the 1980's and the 1987 Team Canada team. The

holder of the records most goals, assists, and points for both the regularseason and the playoffs made the pass an essential part of the game.

There will never be a greater stickhandler and in his prime Gretzky goalmake any linemate a consistent goal scorer.
