LONDON LIFE AND HOCKEY HALL OF FAME EDUCATION PROGRAM Introduction 6 PRE-VISIT ACTIVITY A hockey institution

You are about to embark upon a very unique field trip in Toronto — the Hockey Hall of Fame. This state-of-the-art facility helps to bring to life the wonderful game of hockey from its initial beginnings to the present. The Hockey Hall of Fame honours the great players and their achievements in the game. The Honoured Member is chosen by a selection committee and then formally inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. The Hockey Hall of Fame is a museum. One can see many displays and exhibits of authentic artifacts that help describe the history of the different eras of the game. The curator carefully researches the games, players and founders through archive and library resources. The information is gathered from documents, photographs and other catalogued items and memorabilia from the collection. Artifacts such as scrapbooks, jerseys and equipment all tell a story of how the game was played in the past. The curator can draw upon these valuable pieces of history from the kind generosity of devoted fans who keep the game of hockey alive through remembrances and souvenirs. Fans of the game of hockey donate their prized possessions to the museum for safekeeping, where they are quickly documented and the conservation process started. The curator and archivist then design displays for viewing and interactive exhibits with stories and artifacts from the past. These showcases educate the public on the significance of the game. This is the role of a modern museum today.

The following is a true story of hockey and the tragedy of victory. This particular account was written by James Duplacey for a hockey card and became the inspiration for a song by the musical group, “The Tragically Hip.”

Although he was not noted for his offensive skills, Bill Barilko scored one of the most celebrated goals in NHL history during the 1951 Stanley Cup finals between Toronto and Montreal. This series was the only championship final that required overtime in every contest. In game five, the extra session was nearly three minutes old when Barilko spotted a loose puck near the Montreal crease. He dove in from the blue line and fired a shot over Montreal goaltender Gerry McNeil’s outstretched arm to give the Leafs the Cup. Unfortunately, it was the last goal of Barilko’s career. He disappeared that summer on a fishing trip, and the Leafs didn’t win another Cup until 1962, the year his body was found.

There are many stories of Hockey Hall of Fame members who inspired the game by their play but experienced tragedy in their playing career. Look up one of the following players and find the information that is inspirational or tragic: Howie Morenz, Bobby Orr and Gordon “Mr. Hockey” Howe (Impact Zone displays).

LONDON LIFE AND HOCKEY HALL OF FAME EDUCATION PROGRAM Language 1 Parts of speech

Noun: a word used as the name of a person, place, thing or event.

Verb: a word that expresses action or a state of being.

Adjective: a word that describes a noun.

Adverb: a word used to describe action.

Words on ice Hockey is a rather unique sport. It combines the fast-paced action of basketball with the calculated strategy of baseball and the grace of figure skating. As a profession, it also has a distinct vocabulary, one which has been described as “.... a kind of working poetry of the rink.” Words such as ‘grinder’ or ‘checker’ describe a player’s role while a ‘wrap-a-round’ or ‘spin-a-rama’ refer to a play on the ice. The game has also used adjectives and nouns to characterize its most colourful athletes. The Big Train and Boom Boom are just a sample of many nicknames used to describe players. Some players are better known for their nickname than their real one: Red Kelly, Gump Worsley and Moose Vasko. Forward line combinations have also received such colourful acclaim as The Bread Line and The Triple Crown Line. Even the style of hockey is not excluded from the literary pen. ‘Firewagon’ hockey and a team being described as the Big Bad Bruins are just two examples.

While you are walking about, look for and write down examples of these colourful descriptions of action, players, lines and teams. Beside each expression try explaining the possible reasons for the word. Be prepared to share your findings with the class. ______

Sizing up the Wall of Fame

1. 1600 cm2 (40 x 40)

2. 8 inductees (1600 x 8) = 12,800 cm2 for 1992 Inductees

Perimeter: distance around an object

1. Length = # of glass plates x size (6 plates x 40cm = 240cm) Width = # of glass plates x size (3 plates x 40cm = 120cm) Each glass panel is 240cm in length and 120cm in width.

2. Perimeter of bar = length + width + length + width 240 + 120 + 240 + 120 = 720cm 28 glass panels x 720cm = 20,160cm Total amount of bar required: 20,160cm

3. Cost of bar = amount of bar required x cost of bar (per metre) 201.6m x $15.00 = $3,024.00

4a. Area of glass panel (length x width) 2.4m x 1.2m = 2.88m2

Note: Total area (area of glass panel x # of glass panels) for questions 2.88 x 28 =80.64m2 (4) b, c, d, e these calculations are based on the 4b.

4c. Unoccupied area = total area – occupied area 80.64 - 55.20 = 25.44m2

4d. Area of five glass plates = area of one plate x 5 .16 x 5 = .8m2

Years = unoccupied area ÷ area of five glass plates 25.44 ÷ .8 = 31.8

LONDON LIFE AND HOCKEY HALL OF FAME EDUCATION PROGRAM Answers 11 4e. Total # of glass plates = # of all glass plates on a glass panel x # of glass panels 18 x 28 = 504
