Media Literacy --- Communication
Get with the Program
Preamble: The evolution of the ‘‘souvenir’’ program has coincided with the growth of hockey. As hockey has become more progressive as a business/entertainment vehicle, so to has the program and its content. It is much more elaborate and informative today than ninety years ago. A hockey program from a 1917-18 game between the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Arenas differs greatly from the various programs displayed throughout the Hockey Hall of Fame (including those on display on the Detroit Olympia ‘‘ticket
wicket’’ in the Grand Old Houses of Hockey Zone).
Hall Visit Activity: When you visit the Hockey Hall of Fame, in a group of 2-3 people, you will create a program for an ideal Hockey Hall of Fame game from two different eras. Select the starting line-ups from the two eras. (You will need to research some of the players on your rosters to create small biographies). What arena have you selected for the game? Why? Is there any specific player(s) you wish to feature in the program? Your program should have some advertising. Using the Hockey Hall of Fame Founding Sponsors, create some advertising.
Post-Hall Visit Activity: In order to create a program, many different people with various skills will be required to make a good production team. Many different career job types are required to team-up in a cumulative effort to produce a hockey program ------journalism, photography, graphic design, sales/advertising, business management, language translator, etc. Though you are limited with hockey photos, try animation or sketch drawings (a familiar tactic in the 1920’s & 30’s). With your production team, piece together all aspects of the program and in your advertising, try to relate the sponsors of the program to your legendary game.

Post-Hall Extension Activity:
Produce an eight to twelve-page program for your high school
team(s) or local amateur team. Take into consideration all of

Post-Hall Visit Activities: Sport specific training:
Sport specific training allows a hockey player to take the components of aerobic, anaerobic, flexibility, strength and agility
training and create drills which are directly related to the sport
of hockey. When properly formulated, this dry land training
should be able to simulate actions found in hockey without the
necessity of having an ice surface. In a complete activity such as
skating, the legs, arms, trunk and head all contribute to the efficiency of the motion. This efficiency can be improved with a hockey-specific exercise that helps the athlete practice the natural movements within the activity.
Create and develop five dry land exercises where the athlete can
simulate actions found in hockey. What tips would you give to
the athlete regarding this type of training?
______
Hockey is a sport where anaerobic training is of great benefit.
Hockey players can extend the length of time in which they can
perform at such levels while playing close to their maximum
heart rate. For example, players can condition themselves to keep on skating hard even through their legs are burning.

The Real Stats on Mr. Hockey Depending on what sampling section of a decade is used - 1950-51 to 59-60 or 1949-50 to 1958-59 - the statistical values will vary. However, basing the argument solely on statistics solely, the data would favour the fifties. By having the students look at other forms of data such as personal and team accomplishments and more so the age factor; Gordie Howe was 52 years old while playing 80 games in the NHL, the answers will change. The assignment can serve two purposes: one --- examine the students’ use of statistical methods; and two --- utilizing statistical data to form arguments and questioning their validity with other forms of information --- non- empirical.
With the other activities, this notion will be further developed and reinforced.

Answers to Phys Ed Questions
Anaerobic Training: 1. This type of training involves short bursts of high-intensity exercise with a short rest and recovery period between bouts. It allows the body to perform at a higher level of intensity for longer periods of time than usual. 2. The example given in the video is a stationary bike interval program featuring 30-second bursts followed by 90 seconds of active recovery. 3. This type of training is very strenuous, thus it should be used only after the aerobic base training program has progressed to the point where a good recovery between the short bursts can be attained.
Aerobic Training:
1. Aerobic training helps the heart muscle grow stronger, increases lung capacity, and controls body weight. Results show improved performance due to increased ability to a quicker recovery. 2. The example given in the video is riding a stationary bike for 30 minutes at no greater than 60% to 80% of the Maximum Heart Rate. (220-Age) 3. Tips given are; don’t exceed the ‘target rate zone’ and sustain the activity at a consistent level for 15 - 20 minutes at first.
Flexibility Training: 1. Improving flexibility allows a hockey player to increase mobility and helps prevent muscular injuries. When properly performed,
flexibility training can remove stress on the joints and increase
the range of motion.
2. The example given in the video is performing a front thigh
stretch held for 20 seconds in a position of comfortable muscular pulling. 3. Stretching exercises should only be performed after a proper circulatory warm-up. Each stretch should be held for 20 seconds with no bouncing motion.
HOCKEY HALL OF FAME EDUCATION PROGRAM Answers 8
Strength Training: 1. This type of training allows hockey players to increase their capability to sustain high workloads upon the major muscle groups of the body. The three areas in which the muscular performance of the body can be improved are: overall strength, power, and endurance. Muscle strength is the maximum amount of force that can be exerted by a muscle in a single effort, such as shooting a puck or pinning a player to the boards. Muscle power is the ability to use the strength of the whole muscular system explosively, through an entire movement such as during a bodycheck or slapshot. Muscular endurance is the ability to exert sub-maximum force for a prolonged period of time. This can help a hockey player skate hard every shift over the length of an entire game or wrestle for the puck in the corner during a long shift. 2. An example of strength training is leg extension curls, isolating on one leg at a time. The weight is set at a level in which the load can be lifted through the full range of motion. 3. Three tips given are:
a) Muscle Strength --- In doing weight training to attain general
strength, it is best to use a weight which allows you to perform
between 6 and 12 repetitions over two to six sets for each exercise,
with two to three minutes rest between sets. b) Muscle Power --- Can be improved through a weight training program in which a limited number of repetitions are performed at an explosive speed, with long periods of rest between sets. c) Muscle Endurance --- Interval training, combining long work sessions with short rest periods, is an effective way to improve muscle endurance. These can be done on- or off-ice, or using weights with high repetitions, at least twenty over three or more sets with short rests between sets.
Speed and Agility Training 1. This type of training is also known as plyometrics. 2. This type of training is useful as it contributes to muscle development, but it is related to the speed at which certain activities are performed. Based on the ability of the muscles to
respond to rapid stretching with forceful contractions, it is a reflex
action that is commonly used in the send up phase of shooting a
puck, for example. It is also an effective way to improve a player’s
reaction time for such activities as taking face-offs, poke-checking and goaltending. 3. Two examples of this type of training are: 1) clap push ups for the chest and shoulders and 2) box jumps for the legs.
