  • Jaromir Jagr, the Skater
    Jaromir Jagr, the Skater by Ross Bonander January 2014 As a member of The Hockey Writers draft team, I often hear about skating ability from scouts. It tends to be the first thing they look at, although, as Shane Malloy writes in The Art of Scouting, that doesn't mean they all agree on its importance from the scouting perspective. This is in part because, unlike something like size, skating is a skill which players can improve. The 2013-14 season marks Jaromir Jagr’s 25th year of professional hockey, and he is methodically working his way up the all-time scoring lists, all while leading his latest team, the New Jersey Devils, in points. This got me wondering: Perhaps throughout the 1700+ NHL points he’s accumulated, the take-you-out-of-your- seat stickhandling, the jaw-dropping dekes and sensational goals, maybe one aspect of Jagr's game deserved a closer look. Jaromir Jagr, the Skater. The great Eddie Johnston once echoed a sentiment expressed by everyone from Mario Lemieux to Scotty Bowman when he said: “I don’t know any player who is stronger on his skates than Jaromir Jagr. One on one, there has never been a player so dangerous.” For instance, in collecting his 1,723rd career point, an assist on an Adam Henrique goal, Jaromir Jagr victimized defenseman Nick Grossman in classic Jagr fashion: With fast hands, long reach, impeccable hockey sense … and all of it powered from, made possible by, his skates. After watching video both new and old, I concluded that for all the spectacular goals Jagr has scored, almost none of them would be possible were he anything short of one of the very best skaters in the game.

    8D The Denver Post g Friday, May 5, 2006 AVALANCHE COLORADO AVALANCHE VS. MIGHTY DUCKS OF ANAHEIM Special teams Avs’ best bet BY ADRIAN DATER | THE DENVER POST The Avalanche gets the edge in almost every category here, so it’ll be a blowout, right? Wrong. The Ducks showed they are a formidable team in knocking off Northwest Division champion Calgary in the first round. They also have the home-ice advantage in the series. But we saw how much home ice was worth to Western teams in the first round — zip. The Avs look a little deeper and a little more talented overall than the Mighty Ducks. It’ll be a close series, but the bet here is the Avs will find a way to win again.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications HOW CAN WII LEARN FROM VIDEO GAMES? EXAMINING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN TECHNOLOGICAL AFFORDANCES AND SOCIO-COGNITIVE DETERMINATES ON AFFECTIVE AND BEHAVIORAL OUTCOMES A Dissertation in Mass Communications by Edward Paul Downs © 2008 Edward Paul Downs Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2008 ii The dissertation of Edward Paul Downs was reviewed and approved* by the following: Mary Beth Oliver Professor of Communications Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee S. Shyam Sundar Professor of Communications Fuyuan Shen Associate Professor of Communications John Christman Associate Professor of Philosophy John S. Nichols Professor of Communications Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii Abstract When the Nintendo Wii was released to the public in November 2006, video game play was changed. The unique motion sensing technology allowed game players to interact with the game environment using kinesthetic body motions that replicated real- world activities. In essence, the Wii acts as a virtual simulator for many types of games and activities including bowling, tennis and golf. When combined with the ability to customize game avatars, the Nintendo Wii has the potential to be a powerful learning tool. Social Cognitive Theory provides a theoretical model for how these technological affordances may contribute to learning through modeled behavior. A 2x2 fully crossed, between-subjects experiment plus control group was designed to empirically test how the type of controller (motion controller vs. symbolic controller) and avatar customization (customized vs. uncustomized) contribute to cognitive, affective, and behavioral responses when playing the Tiger Woods PGA Tour ’08 video game.
