Given its (Continued on page 5) Treasurer Paul J. Gacek pedigree and the fact it rests tantalizingly close to shore, one might think technical divers visit the site regularly. But there are even greater hurdles to explor- ing the wreck than its depth. One must first acquire permis- sion from the British owner of the wreck site as well as permits from the Greek government be- fore even considering the sourc- ing of tanks, breathing gas and additional gear needed for div- ing operations. Planning usually takes several months or even a year. And all this is easier said than done. Having participated in a previous expedition to Bri- tannic in 2006, I was well aware of all the bureaucratic and logis- tical issues that generally wreak havoc on planned diving objec- Diver Edoardo Pavia illuminates tives.

With the apparent support of U -Group and excitement about again visiting the wreck of Britan- nic, we found ourselves headed back to Kea in late June 2015. Accomplished Italian diver Edo- ardo Pavia — driving a van full of tanks, breathing gas, rebreather consumables and other necessary gear across Greece — rounded out our small team. But because of a general lack of interaction and communication between Western divers and our Russian counterparts, we were not exactly sure what to expect upon our ar- rival. Fortunately, our initial meeting any uncertainty we may have stunned by all the tools on board aboard U-Boat Navigator allayed had about the crew or their ca- the research vessel.

The diving bell would allow up to two divers at a time to stand up in an air-filled chamber, remove their gear and have a chat or get a drink of wa- ter, all while being monitored by a hyperbaric physician topside. With planned dive times ap- (Continued on page 6) U-Boat Navigator in Kea, Greece Page 6 Back to Britannic by Michael C.

The enhanced safety provided by the in-water monitoring and the diving bell had special signifi- cance in light of Carl Spencer's fatal dive on May 24, 2009, while leading a National Geographic expedition to Britannic. Spencer was an extremely competent technical diver and was very fa- miliar with Britannic; the 2009 project was his third expedition to The well-appointed clinic aboard U-Boat Navigator Kea.

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.

Uniforms must have large, identifiable numbers on the front and back or on the back and sleeves. 3. Hockey helmets and protective shin guards or shin socks must be worn by all players. Shin guards must be worn under socks (soccer style) and cannot exceed 12 inches. 4. Any youth players (under 18 years old) must wear a HECC approved helmet (including ear protection) with chin strap properly fastened. HECC certification includes an expiration date on the sticker on the helmet. It is encouraged to obtain new helmets at expiration date, but a properly fitting helmet is mandatory. Players 18 years or older can have any type of helmet but must have a facemask affixed to the helmet. Skills athletes do need a helmet, however they do not need facemasks or HECC certification 5. All players on the players’ bench and the penalty bench must wear the protective helmet/facemask while in the bench area. For a violation of this rule, after a warning by the Referee, a misconduct penalty for an equipment violation shall be assessed to the offending player. 6.

  • Experimental Characterization of Ice Hockey Sticks and Pucks
    Experimental Characterization of Ice Hockey Sticks and Pucks Rosanna L. Anderson, Lloyd V. Smith School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Washington State University P.O. Box 642920 Pullman, WA 99164 Nomenclature ea Collision efficiency Fi Peak impact force I Mass moment of inertia mp Puck mass Q Stick impact location vp Puck velocity before impact vp’ Puck velocity after impact vs Stick velocity Abstract The following describes experimental methods for characterizing ice hockey pucks and sticks at game-like speeds. Pucks were characterized according to their coefficient of restitution (COR) and dynamic stiffness (DS) for different brands, speeds, and temperatures. The COR provided a measure of the puck’s elasticity, while the DS provided a measure of puck hardness. At room temperature, puck COR and stiffness differed by 10% and 33%, respectively between two brands. Puck response was highly dependent on temperature, where COR decreased by 32% and stiffness increased over 600% when frozen. Sticks were characterized in terms of their natural vibrational frequencies, mode shapes, and performance. A performance measure of puck speed (PS) was derived from the collision efficiency between a stick and puck found from experimental high speed impact testing. Modal analysis revealed little difference in the first two bending modes for composite or wood sticks, while high speed cannon testing showed a performance difference of 21% for different types of sticks. The results suggest that modern materials used in stick design have a significant effect on the game that may not be apparent using indirect performance measures. 1.0 Introduction The ice hockey stick is a fundamental piece of equipment in terms of player performance.

Many of the USARS inline hockey competitions at the grass-roots level are organized and conducted under auspices of USARS’ association with the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). These competitions are made up of three national-level divisions, which use standard ice hockey-style equipment: Elite Puck, Club Puck and Ball Hockey, and Junior Olympic Puck and Ball Hockey. This publication contains the rules and guideline for Elite Puck Hockey, Club Hockey and Junior Olympic Hockey, both puck and ball, allowing some flexibility for management of smaller club events. Beyond the United States, USARS Elite Inline Hockey program is designated for international and world competitions conducted under the direction of the International Federation of Roller Sports (FIRS) and the Committee International de Roller In-Line Hockey (CIRILH). USARS Inline Hockey is designated as a participant sport in the Pan American Games and IWGA World Games, which are conducted supervised and sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee. USA Roller Sports has through its By-laws and General Rules conformed with the requirements of a NGB under the National Sports Act of the United States Congress which mandate the rules and policies for governance of roller inline hockey programs.
