    Herb Brooks, in my opinion, was one of the greatest coaches and leaders in the history of sports. Herb Brooks was an inspirational leader. Brooks was also an innovator in American hockey. He created the "hybrid" style of hockey, which mixed a European puck possession style of play with the North American dump-and-chase style of play. Part of what made Brooks so successful was his way of motivating players and getting the most out of them.…

    One famous game in NHL history was the Easter Epic of 1987. That game was game 7 of a series between the Washington Capitals and the New York Islanders. It went into 4 overtimes. The game was started on April 18(that’s why it was nicknamed the Easter Epic) and ended on April 19, Easter morning. It is now the longest game 7 in NHL history. Another great game during the NHL season is the Winter Classic. It is, actually, relatively new. The very first Winter Classic was played between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Buffalo Sabres in Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, New York on January 1, 2008. The game is pretty much always played on New Year’s Day every year. The star player of the Pittsburgh Penguins at the time, and still is now, was…

    In 1980, The United States ice hockey team had a dream. A dream to finally do the unthinkable at the Olympic Winter Games. To accomplish this, the United States had to come together as one unit and flee to victory.

The movie is called “Miracle.” One person that was mentioned quite a bit in the movie is head coach Herb Brooks. In the movie, there are many famous things that the United States had accomplished, but one of the most famous standings from that movie is the inspirational speech coach Herb Brooks gave to his fellow hockey players. “Great moments are born from great opportunity.

    "’Do you believe in miracles? YES!’ said AABC broadcaster Al Michaels’”, (Painter). Al michaels said this line as the 1980 United States Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Team upset the Soviet Union in the semi-final game. The United States team was composed of a highly skilled coach, Herb Brooks, as he had just won a national championship for college hockey with the University of Minnesota's Golden Gophers in 1979 (Barnes). Herb Brooks was not new to the program as he was the last player cut from gold medal winning team in 1960 (“The 1980 U.S. Olympic Team”). Coach Brooks had to choose a twenty man roster and he did not take any chances as he went with who he knew, the local boys (“The 1980 U.S. Olympic Team”). So, while…

    Rule Changes In Hockey

    I also believe things can always be changed if the need is there. As of now, the research does show that sports like football and hockey do need a change. This is undeniable. One of the main and easiest ways to change this is by making rule adaptations at younger levels. There is a lot of evidence that shows how this makes a difference and that these sports can exist with different rules. One example that shows what rule changes can achieve comes from a study done on whether rule changes reduces injuries in martial arts. In this study by Rebecca Domorest that looked injury risk in martial arts, she found that banning moves like certain throws along with hits to certain areas had a significant effect on the reduction of head injuries along with injuries to other parts of the body (Domorest). In this study, she also found that there was a reduction in injuries when sparring was limited (Domorest). This is providing more evidence of sports in which there is a lot of contact, of how the rule changes make a big impact on taking away the potential risks.…

Baseball, Cycling and athletics in Canada are generally being influenced by the states popularity and partially by Great Britain being early ancestors of these sports.…

    Both Lacrosse and Ice hockey are two sports that share similar aspects. One example would be that they both require plenty of athletic prowess, as well as countless hours of training and practice to master. The high amount of contact in both sports enables a player to become both physically and mentally "tough". Lacrosse has grown to its highest level of popularity it has ever reached over the last ten years. Ice hockey has seen a steady climb in its popularity over the past 25 years making it one of the most popular sports in not only Long Island, but all across the U.S. However, there are many differences as well, and we should not overlook the fact that there are plenty of distinctions between the two great sports. Many of which are the main reasons that these are obviously two separate sports.…

    Field Hockey Narrative

    Field hockey wasn’t my first true love. My first love was softball. I believed that I had found the sport that I loved and wanted to play as long as I could. My mind was set for the long term, and I believed that this was the sport for me. This all changed when I was introduced to field hockey. On the last day of middle school, I was approached by the middle school coach and she asked me if I wanted to come out and play that summer. I was hesitant to agree, since I planned on playing summer softball and I didn’t want to have multiple practices a day. In the end, my friend Naomi convinced me to sign up. Weeks started to pass without a word from the coach, and I forgot all about signing up for hockey, until one day she called my mother’s phone…
