    Portail de l'éducation de Historica Canada Canada's Game - The Modern Era Overview This lesson plan is based on viewing the Footprints videos for Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr, Father David Bauer, Bobby Hull,Wayne Gretzky, and The Forum. Throughout hockey's history, though they are not presented in the Footprints, francophone players like Guy Lafleur, Mario Lemieux, Raymond Bourque, Jacques Lemaire, and Patrick Roy also made a significant contribution to the sport. Parents still watch their children skate around cold arenas before the sun is up and backyard rinks remain national landmarks. But hockey is no longer just Canada's game. Now played in cities better known for their golf courses than their ice rinks, hockey is an international game. Hockey superstars and hallowed ice rinks became national icons as the game matured and Canadians negotiated their role in the modern era. Aims To increase student awareness of the development of the game of hockey in Canada; to increase student recognition of the contributions made by hockey players as innovators and their contributions to the game; to examine their accomplishments in their historical context; to explore how hockey has evolved into the modern game; to understand the role of memory and commemoration in our understanding of the past and present; and to critically investigate myth-making as a way of understanding the game’s relationship to national identity. Background Frozen fans huddled in the open air and helmet-less players battled for the puck in a -28 degree Celsius wind chill. The festive celebration was the second-ever outdoor National Hockey League game, held on 22 November 2003.

  • Breaking in New Futbol Boots
    Breaking in New Football Boots By Damien Cronley New football boots can be particularly unforgiving when they are used for the first few weeks. Breaking in your new footwear is very important for all football players. It is not really a good idea to wear brand new football boots in any sort of competitive game. This is because the shoes will be very tough on your feet and could give you some painful blisters. There are plenty of steps you can take to speed up the process of breaking in new football boots. A very popular method with many players is to soak the boots in warm water. The water only needs to be warm to the touch. If the water is very hot, it can melt the adhesives and other materials used on the football boot. A simple way to achieve this is to put on some football socks and your new boots with the laces tied up. Then sit in the bath for 15-20 minutes and this will help the boots to mould to your unique foot shape. You can introduce your new boots gradually over a period of time. This reduces the risk of soreness and blisters on your feet. At the same time this approach ensures the footwear is being used to some extent. Next time you are going to football practice or training take your new football boots along with an older pair. You can wear your new boots for the first twenty minutes then change into the older ones. You can increase the period you wear the new pair for longer spells over a period of time.

Strategic Audit of Adidas An Undergraduate Honors Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of University Honors Program Requirements University of Nebraska-Lincoln by Mason Wright, BS Computer Science College of Arts and Sciences April 11, 2019 Faculty Mentor: Sam Nelson, Ph.D., Management Abstract Adidas is a well-established brand in the world of sportswear and lifestyle clothing. In recent years, the company has been regaining success after a period of stagnation. Spurring this success is the renewed popularity of old classic shoe models and a surge in the lifestyle clothing trend. While adidas is doing well, it is not the top sportswear company in the world and is far behind in North America. In an attempt to boost the recent success even further, this thesis analyzes the current situation that adidas faces including its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. With this information as a background, this paper then discusses potential new strategies for adidas, ultimately deciding that obtaining a larger number of star athlete endorsements is a strategy that could quickly make a large impact for the company.
