Ice Hockey – A Simple Pleasing Game

People often underestimate the popularity of ice hockey simply because they do not see or hear anything beyond ice. The moment they hear about a sport that is played on ice, they automatically presume that it is going to be a very expensive affair. The primary reason why football and hockey are so popular is because it does not cost a lot to play this game.

If you want to play football, you just need a ball that can be More

No Visa – China Vs NZ Is A Dud

The biggest disappointment for any sporting enthusiast is to find bureaucracy affecting the game. The New Zealand Winter Games has just begun and the home team was pitted against China for its first match. Now, China is not a really strong team in the world of ice hockey but one can expect a decent performance considering the fact that they work so hard.

However, my expectations of a good competitive match were rendered useless when I discovered that half the More

Evolution Of Ice Hockey

I often wonder how ice hockey came into being. Did it come around after a few persons who loved hockey landed up in a very cold place where they could not play on grass? Did they then come up with the idea of playing on ice? Did they discover that a flat shaped puck would serve them better than the standard ball? Come to think of it, the ball would move smoothly over an icy surface as well. There was More

Fit for the Rink

Put your nike running shoes on. It is time to get fit for the rink.

Anyone who has ever played ice hockey knows how physically demanding the sport is. We race around the rink at top speed, twist and turn, stop suddenly and head off in a new direction, and swing, swing, swing.

Hockey players use just about every muscle in their bodies (okay, I’ll accept that some of them don’t really use More

Violence In Ice Hockey – What’s The Logic?

I often wonder about the history of fighting in ice hockey. There are aggressive moves in field hockey but there is, at no point of time, any tolerance towards violent action. On the other hand, it is perfectly natural for the goon of the ice hockey team to slam into a player who is playing very well. As natural as an employee of Rowan Dartington to have a calculator in the pocket at all times.

Well, the violence and physical More

This list of items that is needed to play ice hockey is quite large and varied in nature. More

Platina Chisinau

This team has had no domestic league, for their place of origin has not even a rink to talk about. Moldova has also had very little history to talk about when it comes to sports. Yet, this under 18 team from the capital of Moldova has been creating waves in the European junior ice hockey championship this season by defeating many a well standing opponents. The team is none other than that named Platina Chisinau.

Top Names in Women’s Hockey

Hockey is a popular game with huge global presence and with stars that are known all over the world as well. There are many names of hockey greats but most of the known ones are probably men. However there have been many exceptional players who have graced the female part of the game. I would like to mention a few. These names are not necessarily in the order of the superiority of their game. The first to be mentioned is More

Ranking In Attendance – Ice Hockey Matches

Switzerland this season has been the leaders as far as attendance at the league matches go in ice hockey. SC Bern in particular has been the topper in ranking as far as attendance goes and that too for the tenth season in a row. They have overtaken Swedish Elitserien in this regards. The average attendance of the season for the Swiss national champions SC who are also the defending champions went up by 147 and stands at 15,856. This attendance number is by the far the highest that has occurred in Europe. At this rate, the players would need wealth managers like Rowan Dartington - good for them! More

Women’s ice hockey

Ice hockey is an interesting sport which is gaining momentum in this century. It is proudly said to be the game of the English. The history of the ice hockey goes beyond the pucks that we are familiar with. Earlier the Canadian soldiers used the term “to hit” and “to strike” in the game of ice hockey. The main objective of this game is to hit the puck in the opponent’s net so as to score the maximum points. Gone are those days were women’s ice hockey toiled and played only indoors. More
