The scope of this thesaurus is to cover the subject of ice hockey as it is currently played in the National Hockey League and, with that in mind, the terms that make up its vocabulary were chosen in the compiler’s attempt to assemble the most commonly encountered rules, regulations, plays, and other terms that may occur during an NHL regulated game and as they are defined in associated rulebooks. User’s Guide This ice hockey vocabulary used in this thesaurus has been divided into a hierarchy consisting of seven principal categories: Equipment, Officials, Play, Players, Penalties, Regulation, and Rink. A term’s position relative to those around it in the hierarchical structure is denoted by the number of hyphens that precede and indent it (e.g., the term “Goalie Mask” is preceded by three hyphens, which makes it a third level term falling under the second level term “Goaltender Equipment”) and by the Broader Terms (BT) and Narrower Terms (NT) listed under a term’s entry in the alphabetical list. The headings of non-preferred terms are displayed in italics and list their respective preferred terms, which have boldfaced headings and should be used instead. Some terms are accompanied by illustrations that appear directly above their headings and can assist the user’s understanding of particular concepts by providing visual representations. To further aid in the comprehension of the concepts described, the user should refer to the Related Terms (RT) that are listed for an entry, as they can elaborate on how individual aspects Champion 3 of ice hockey may interact. Champion 4 Terminology SN (Scope Note): Provides a definition for the entry term or specifies a restriction for the term’s use in the hierarchy. UF (Used For): Designates non-preferred terms that an entry term is used to represent. USE: Designates the preferred term that should be used for a non-preferred term entry. BT (Broader Term): Designates terms that have a more general meaning than the entry term and that are placed above that term in the hierarchy. NT (Narrower Term): Designates terms that a more specific meaning relative to the entry term and that are placed below that term in the hierarchy. RT (Related Term): Designates terms that are associated with the entry term, but may not be directly linked to that term in the hierarchy.

  • Comprehension Builders Research Reveals That the Single Most Valuable Activity for Developing Students’ Com- Prehension Is Reading Itself
    Daily Comprehension Builders Research reveals that the single most valuable activity for developing students’ com- prehension is reading itself. At its core, comprehension is an active process in which students think about text and gain meaning from it. In order for them to build compe- tence in comprehension, their reading should be purposeful and reflective. It should foster the exploration of genre, language, and information. Daily Comprehension Build- ers is a resource that provides the instructional framework to help your students build strength in comprehension and achieve success in reading! Comprehension Basics Comprehension begins with what a student knows about a topic. It builds as a child reads and actively makes connections between new information and prior knowledge. Understanding is increased as the student organizes what he has read in relationship to what he already knows. To successfully comprehend, students need to master a variety of critical skills, such as constructing word meanings from context, determin- ing main ideas and locating details to support them, sequencing, inferring and drawing conclusions, making generalizations, predicting, summarizing, and sensing an author’s purpose. Daily Comprehension Builders provides multiple opportunities for reinforcing these essential skills, resulting in increased learning and competence in reading. About This Book Thirty-six high-interest reading selections, each accompanied by five activities and two to three reproducible skill sheets, are featured in this book. (See the unit features detailed below.) Each unit is clearly organized and highlights one of the following topics or genres: sports, famous people, animals, oddities, real-life mysteries, and adventure. Use each unit in its entirety, or pick and choose activities to build specific skills.

  • Does Relative Age Affect Career Length in North American Professional Sports? C
    Steingröver et al. Sports Medicine - Open (2016) 2:18 DOI 10.1186/s40798-016-0042-3 ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Does Relative Age Affect Career Length in North American Professional Sports? C. Steingröver1*, N. Wattie2, J. Baker3 and J. Schorer1 Abstract Background: Relative age effects (RAEs) typically favour older members within a cohort; however, research suggests that younger players may experience some long-term advantages, such as longer career length. The purposes of this study were to replicate previous findings on RAEs among National Hockey League (NHL) ice hockey players, National Basketball Association (NBA) basketball players and National Football League (NFL) football players and to investigate the influence of relative age on career length in all three sports. Methods: Using official archives, birthdates and number of games played were collected for players drafted into the NBA (N =407),NFL(N = 2380) and NHL (N = 1028) from 1980 to 1989. We investigated the possibility that younger players might be able to maximize their career length by operationalizing career length as players’ number of games played throughout their careers. Results: There was a clear RAE for the NHL, but effects were not significant for the NBA or NFL. Moreover, there was a significant difference in matches played between birth quartiles in the NHL favouring relatively younger players. There were no significant quartiles by career length effects in the NBA or NFL. Conclusions: The significant relationship between relative age and career length provides further support for relative age as an important constraint on expertise development in ice hockey but not basketball or football.

  • A Matter of Inches My Last Fight
    INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS GROUP A Matter of Inches How I Survived in the Crease and Beyond Clint Malarchuk, Dan Robson Summary No job in the world of sports is as intimidating, exhilarating, and stress­ridden as that of a hockey goaltender. Clint Malarchuk did that job while suffering high anxiety, depression, and obsessive compulsive disorder and had his career nearly literally cut short by a skate across his neck, to date the most gruesome injury hockey has ever seen. This autobiography takes readers deep into the troubled mind of Clint Malarchuk, the former NHL goaltender for the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres. When his carotid artery was slashed during a collision in the crease, Malarchuk nearly died on the ice. Forever changed, he struggled deeply with depression and a dependence on alcohol, which nearly cost him his life and left a bullet in his head. Now working as the goaltender coach for the Calgary Flames, Malarchuk reflects on his past as he looks forward to the future, every day grateful to have cheated death­twice. 9781629370491 Pub Date: 11/1/14 Author Bio Ship Date: 11/1/14 Clint Malarchuk was a goaltender with the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres. $25.95 Hardcover Originally from Grande Prairie, Alberta, he now divides his time between Calgary, where he is the goaltender coach for the Calgary Flames, and his ranch in Nevada.

This is an open access article licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). Background: Physical parameters represent an important part of the structure of sports performance and significantly contribute to the overall performance of an ice hockey player. Basic physical parameters are also an essential part of a comprehensive player assessment both during the initial NHL draft and further stages of a professional career. For an objective assessment it is desirable to know the current condition of development of monitored somatic parameters with regard to the sports discipline, performance level and gaming position. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze and present the level of development of basic physical characteristics [Body Height (BH) and Body Weight (BW)] in current ice hockey players in the Canadian-American NHL, also with respect to various gaming positions. Another aim is to compare the results with relevant data of elite ice hockey players around the world. Methods: The data of 751 ice hockey players (age range: 18–43 years; 100% male) from NHL (2014/2015 season) are analyzed (goalkeepers, n = 67; defenders, n = 237; forwards, n = 447).
