Stiffness variation in hockey sticks and the impact on stick performance Graeme Nigel Carlisle Submitted with corrections for the degree of Masters of Research – Science and Engineering of Materials August 2011 Multiple sectioned shafts of carbon fibre composite were modelled using Composite Design Analysis software in order to replicate the range of flexural rigidities shown across the current field hockey stick market. The shafts were then manufactured using hand lay-up and hot-pressing techniques, tested under static and dynamic conditions and the goodness of their relationship with the modelled behaviour was assessed. The shafts were also analysed microscopically for volume fraction, ply-orientation and the interaction between the varied lay-up sections. The modelling gave a good understanding of the trend of behaviour that was to be expected, but was not accurate enough to predict experimental values.

Fac. Fish., Kagoshima Univ. Vol.29 pp. 81-121 (1980) Fishing Methods and Gears in Panay Island, Philippines*1 Gunzo Kawamura*2 and Teodora Bagarinao*3 Abstract The authors surveyed the fishing methods and gears in Panay and smaller neighboring islands in the Philippines in September-December 1979 and in March-May 1980. This paper is a report on the fishing methods and gears used in these islands, with special focus on the traditional and primitive ones. The term "fishing" is commonly used to mean the capture of many aquatic animals — fishes, crustaceans, mollusks, coelenterates, echinoderms, sponges, and even birds and mammals. Moreover, the harvesting of algae underwater or from the intertidal zone is often an important job for the fishermen. Fishing method is the manner by which the aquatic organisms are captured or collected; fishing gear is the implement developed for the purpose. Oftentimes, the gear alone is not sufficient and auxiliary instruments have to be used to realize a method. A fishing method can be applied by means of various gears, just as a fishing gear can sometimes be used in the appli cation of several methods. Commonly, only commercial fishing is covered in fisheries reports. Although traditional and primitive fishing is done on a small scale, it is still very important from the viewpoint of supply of animal protein.

  • Influence of Physical Properties of Hockey Stick Blade on Shots
    Influence of Physical Properties of Hockey Stick Blade on Shots Martin Plesch1, 2, Samuel Jan´ Plesn´ık3, and Natalia´ Ruˇzickovˇ a´ 4, * 1Institute of Physics, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Slovak Republic 2Institute of Computer Science, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic 3Prve´ Sukromn´ e´ Gymnazium,´ Bratislava, Slovak Republic 4Institute of Science and Technology, Klosterneuburg, Austria *[email protected] ABSTRACT Parameters of a shot of an ice hockey player are mostly determined by the capabilities of the player and the physical properties of the stick used. To reach better performance, every hockey player uses also a hockey tape for an adjustment of the stick blade, that changes both the damping properties as well as the friction coefficient of the blade surface. To show the unexpected extent to which these physical properties of the blade affect the shot, we compared two types of blade cover: traditional tape (rolled onto the blade) and a blade sticker that adheres to both sides of the hockey stick blade. We analysed high-speed recordings of two types of shots by 13 players, ranging from amateurs and junior players to NHL superstars. The two covers differ greatly in friction coefficient and stiffness, which results in significantly (more than 99% confidence) greater speed, rotation and energy when using the stiffer and rougher sticker. 1 Introduction Ice hockey sticks have experienced a gradual development in recent decades. Progress in material science allowed the replacement of widely used wood by composite materials that nowadays represent the standard for hockey players worldwide. Broad usage of new materials like aluminium and composites has become an interesting topic for research as well.

  • Inline Hockey New Zealand – Branding
    Inline Hockey New Zealand – Branding Inline Hockey New Zealand © Working-concepts are copyright Cluster Creative Ltd Inline Hockey New Zealand – Branding Brand Perception Current logo Inline Hockey is like ice hockey but is played on roller blades. Inline Hockey is seen as an alternative sport. It has small numbers in NZ. This should not be seen as negative, but as a unique positioning because this could make it desirable to individuals who would like to express themselves in a creative way. It is a fringe sport which is edgy. The edge comes from the use of roller blades which give it a hint of ‘skate culture’ and provides a rush of adrenalin. It also needs to be seen as a ‘real’ sport. The brand needs to be regarded as official and as having a NZ team. However, the curent branding gives the opposite impression. This needs to be changed. Audience The sport needs to grow. Work-on-the-ground has been done to address this but the brand is lacking. The primary audience must be the kids, yet also tick the boxes for parents. The target audience is: Kids who: - have tried roller blading (or who may be attracted to it) - have not ‘connected’ with mainstream sport - see the sport is cool - see that the sport has heroes (market the star players?) - see it has future for them. Parents who: - are open to alternatives - want their child to fair go (smaller sport means more inclusive feel?) - want a supportive community Inline Hockey New Zealand © Working-concepts are copyright Cluster Creative Ltd Demographics Cities - have good facilities but market reach is hard due to competition Rural - easier to market to by word of mouth Schools - a captive audience, but must be introduced in a cool way not a school way Media - some inline hockey mention in print and radio, ice hockey (parent-sport) gets some mainstream coverage Web - has a website, FB page, but no active campaigning using Google Analytics or tracking.

  • Sports History in the British Library: Selected Titles
    SPORT & SOCIETY The Summer Olympics and Paralympics through the lens of social science www.bl.uk/sportandsociety Sports history in the British Library: selected titles Any analysis of sport, sporting events and sports governance must inevitably take into account the historical events which underpin them. For sports researchers, the British Library has an unrivalled collection of resources covering all aspects of the subject and in many different media, from books describing sporting events, to biographies and autobiographies of grass roots and elite athletes; coaching manuals; sport yearbooks and annual reports; directories of athletics clubs; sports periodicals; newspaper reports; and oral history interviews with sports people, including Olympians and Paralympians. These materials cover a long period of sporting activity both in Great Britain and elsewhere in the world. Some early materials As a glance at the earliest editions of the British Museum Library subject index show, the term ‘sport’ in the 18th century (and for much of the nineteenth) usually referred to blood sports. Nevertheless the existence of such headings as Rowing, Bowls, Cricket, Football, and Gymnastics in these early indexes point to a longstanding role for sport -as currently understood - in British social life. As was the case in ancient times, sports might originate as forms of preparation for war (from 1338, when the Hundred year’s war with France began, a series of English kings passed laws to make football illegal for fear that it would consume too much of the time set aside for archery practice); but they could also represent the natural human desire for friendly competition, so that alongside the jousting of the elite, games like bowling, stool ball and football could hold important places in the lives of ordinary people.
