  • Ice Hockey Packet # 23
    ICE HOCKEY PACKET # 23 INSTRUCTIONS This Learning Packet has two parts: (1) text to read and (2) questions to answer. The text describes a particular sport or physical activity, and relates its history, rules, playing techniques, scoring, notes and news. The Response Forms (questions and puzzles) check your understanding and apprecia- tion of the sport or physical activity. INTRODUCTION Ice hockey is a physically demanding sport that often seems brutal and violent from the spectator’s point of view. In fact, ice hockey is often referred to as a combination of blood, sweat and beauty. The game demands athletes who are in top physical condition and can maintain nonstop motion at high speed. HISTORY OF THE GAME Ice hockey originated in Canada in the 19th cen- tury. The first formal game was played in Kingston, Ontario in 1855. McGill University started playing ice hockey in the 1870s. W. L. Robertson, a student at McGill, wrote the first set of rules for ice hockey. Canada’s Governor General, Lord Stanley of Preston, offered a tro- phy to the winner of the 1893 ice hockey games. This was the origin of the now-famed Stanley Cup. Ice hockey was first played in the U. S. in 1893 at Johns Hopkins and Yale universities, respec- tively. The Boston Bruins was America’s first NHL hockey team. Ice hockey achieved Olym- pic Games status in 1922. Physical Education Learning Packets #23 Ice Hockey Text © 2006 The Advantage Press, Inc. Through the years, ice hockey has spawned numerous trophies, including the following: NHL TROPHIES AND AWARDS Art Ross Trophy: First awarded in 1947, this award goes to the National Hockey League player who leads the league in scoring points at the end of the regular hockey season.

  • “The Last Game” to Bring Awareness to Climate Change
    ISLANDERS TO HOST CHARITY, “THE LAST GAME” TO BRING AWARENESS TO CLIMATE CHANGE EAST MEADOW, NY (DATE, 2019) – The New York Islanders are partnering with United Nations Environmental Department to host a segment of The Last Game, a series of hockey games designed to raise awareness to the impact of climate change. The game will take place at 3 p.m., prior to the Islanders preseason game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday, Sept. 17. Originally scheduled to take place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, this game will now be at NYCB Live, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Legendary Russian ice hockey player and member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, Viacheslav Fetisov, spearheads the event and is a UN Environment Patron of the Polar Regions. Along with Fetisov, other Hockey Hall of Fame legends, United Nations and National Geographic Society top officials, NYC First Responders, the Manhattan Borough President and hundreds of youth hockey players will be in attendance at Nassau Coliseum. “We are excited to work with the New York Islanders in raising awareness for Climate Change,” Fetisov said. “It is extremely important that we take care of our planet, the most important resource in all our lives. Playing this game with such a tremendous group of distinguished guests in New York will make this our biggest event we’ve hosted in an effort to save the world we love.” “Our environment and the importance of Climate Change are important topics that we cannot ignore,” Islanders President/General Manager Lou Lamoriello said. “To have the chance to support and help raise awareness for these efforts, while also working with Slava, makes this a fantastic event.

    Generations and the Transformation of Social Movements in Postwar Canada DOMINIQUE CLE´ MENT* Historians, particularly in Canada, have yet to make a significant contribution to the study of contemporary social movements. State funding, ideological conflict, and demographic change had a critical impact on social movements in Canada in the 1960s and 1970s, as this case study of the Ligue des droits de l’homme (Montreal) shows. These developments distinguished the first (1930s–1950s) from the second (1960s–1980s) generation of rights associations in Canada. Generational change was especially pronounced within the Ligue. The demographic wave led by the baby boomers and the social, economic, and political contexts of the period had a profound impact on social movements, extending from the first- and second-generation rights associations to the larger context including movements led by women, Aboriginals, gays and lesbians, African Canadians, the New Left, and others. Les historiens, en particulier au Canada, ont peu contribue´ a` ce jour a` l’e´tude des mouvements sociaux contemporains. Le financement par l’E´ tat, les conflits ide´olo- giques et les changements de´mographiques ont eu un impact de´cisif sur les mouve- ments sociaux au Canada lors des anne´es 1960 et 1970, comme le montre la pre´sente e´tude de cas sur la Ligue des droits de l’homme (Montre´al). Ces de´veloppements ont distingue´ les associations de de´fense des droits de la premie`re ge´ne´ration (anne´es 1930 aux anne´es 1950) de ceux de la deuxie`me ge´ne´ration (anne´es 1960 aux anne´es 1980) au Canada.
