DESCRIPTORS Athletes; *Athletics; Citizenship Education; Elementary Secondary Education; *Law Related Education; Self Control; Social Studies; Sport Psychology; *Sportsmanship; *Values IDENTIFIERS Ashe (Arthur); McSorley (Marty) ABSTRACT This publication is part of the Sports and the Law program sponsored by the Constitutional Rights Foundation. The program draws on young people's natural interest in sports to stimulate their involvement in education, and provides teacher training, lesson plans, a textbook and accompanying videotape, an annual conference, and classroom visits by sports and legal professionals. This issue contains four articles examining problems that athletes and others involved in sports are having fcllowing the laws and rules governing sports. The first article, "A Dangerous Game," discusses the positive and negative aspects of sports. The article suggests that it is difficult to identify at what point sports norms like "a quest for excellence" and "go for it" stop encouraging individual achievement and self esteem, and begin motivating athletes to act selfishly and take whatever measuresare necessary to excel, regardless of the costs. The second article is an interview with Los Angeles Kings hockey player Marty McSorley. In the interview, teamwork, sportsmanship, and the spirit of competitionare discussed. The third section is a collection of five photographs taken at the 1993 Sports and the Law Conference. The fourth article, "Coach's Column" (Andy Schwich), discusses Arthur Ashe and his contributions to sports oriented civic participation, the basis of sports and the law. Ashe represented equal opportunity for participation and fair competition, following the rules of thegame, and dignity. He exemplified what the positive aspects of sports in life should be. The issue also contains questions for discussion and announcements of a series of lesson plans and an essay contest devoted to sports and the law. aw *********************************************************************** Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document. *********************************************************************** [Sportsmanship] U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Office ol Educatc,,a1 Researchand Improvement EDUCATIONAL RESOURCESINFORMATION CENTER (ERIC) This document has been reproducedas received from the Person or organization originating it 0 {Amor changes have been madeto Improve reproducl ion qualotY Points ol view or opinions statedin this doctr ment do not necessarily represent official OERI position or policy "PERMISSION TO REPRODUCE THIS MATERIAL H BEEN GRANTED BY 'T_Ooo)' buo TO THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER (ERIC)." r() BEST COPYAWL' 2 '1- "1 THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS FOUNDATION Spring 1993 volume I number 2 'Aro 111111111__ *If id Cosponsoced br =FL INS 3 _17ST COPY 0 A Dangerous GameWhat Do You Think?

Law School Student Scholarship. 925. https://scholarship.shu.edu/student_scholarship/925 Introduction This article analyzes the viability of the National Hockey League Players Association’s recklessness and negligence claims against the National Hockey League for its liability relating to traumatic brain injuries.1 In doing so, Part I of this article explores the overtly physical and violent- laden culture that is deeply-rooted within the sport of professional ice hockey. Additionally, Part I will examine the general nature of the allegations contained within the National Hockey League Concussion Litigation. Following this brief overview, Part II of this article outlines the American legal perspectives relating to tortious liability for injuries sustained as a result of player to player conduct. To illustrate the potential application of such tort law principles with regards to professional ice hockey-related claims, this section will analyze various case law, as well as the events that occurred on January 27, 2016, in which NHL Linesman, Don Henderson, was forcefully struck in his neck/head by Calgary Flames defenseman, Dennis Wideman.2 Thereafter, Part III discusses the implications of the legal standards depicted in Part II in an attempt to determine the general viability of the Players claims against the League.3 Additionally, this section 1 See Complaint for Damages and Demand for Jury Trial, Leeman, v.

  • What Do Hockey Fans Want to See?
    Robert Poss Professor Samanta ECO 495 Spring 2012 Goals Galore vs. Bounteous Blood: What Do Hockey Fans Want to See? Abstract – NHL attendance has been growing throughout the past decade. In this note we attempt to disentangle the rationale behind this phenomenon. We examine the rule changes that have increased scoring while also testing for the effect of violence on attendance. We hypothesize that fans enjoy both the goal scoring nature of the game as well as the brutish, violent facets of it. However, it seems that a team’s success measured by their points and goals scored have a significant effect on attendance whereas violence does not. Interestingly enough, the sign for violence is negative, giving evidence to the refutation of previous studies’ claims. Introduction “I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out.” -Rodney Dangerfield "High sticking, tripping, slashing, spearing, charging, hooking, fighting, unsportsmanlike conduct, interference, roughing...everything else is just figure skating." -Author Unknown The National Hockey League comprises one of the four major sports in the United States along with the National Football League, Major League Baseball, and the National Basketball Association. Of these four sports, the NHL possesses perhaps the most unique mix between violence and finesse, where padded gladiators exchange haymakers one moment and only seconds later involve themselves in a beautiful display of skating prowess and hand-eye coordination. Many studies cite hockey as the only sport which tolerates fighting as "part of the game". It is conceivably for this reason that fans of the NHL tend to be some of the most crazed and passionate fans in America.

  • Wayne Gretzky
    SPORTING LEGENDS: WAYNE GRETZKY SPORT: ICE HOCKEY COMPETITIVE ERA: 1978 - 1999 Wayne Douglas Gretzky, OC (born January 26, 1961) is a former professional ice hockey player and current head coach and part owner of the Phoenix Coyotes. Born in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, he is known as The Great One, and considered by many to be the greatest player of all time. Taught by his father Walter, Gretzky was seen as a classic prodigy. At age 6 he was skating with 10-year-olds. At 10 he scored 378 goals and 120 assists in 85 games, and the first story on him was published in the Toronto Telegram. At 14, playing against 20- year-olds, he left Brantford to further his career. He also signed with his first agent. He played one year in the Ontario Hockey League, at the age of 16, with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. There he began wearing the number 99 on his jersey. He had wanted 9 - for his hero Gordie Howe - but it was already being worn by another teammate. At Coach Muzz MacPherson's suggestion Gretzky settled on 99. The next year (1978-79) he signed with the Indianapolis Racers of the World Hockey Association (WHA) as an underaged player. The NHL did not allow the signing of players under the age of 18 (nor does now), but the WHA had no rules regarding such signings. Nelson Skalbania, the owner of Indianapolis Racers, signed the 17 year old future superstar, Wayne Gretzky to, at that time, a whopping personal contract worth between $1.125 and 1.75 million US over 4 to 7 years.
