  • Michael Boyle Aerobic Versus Anaerobic Training the Following Is
    Michael Boyle Aerobic versus Anaerobic Training The following is an excerpt from a book on training for ice hockey that I probably will never finish. I posted this in response to a beginner forum question on aerobic versus anaerobic training. I believe that you could substitute the name of any field or court sport for hockey and my opinion on training would not be greatly altered. Please feel free to read and post comments. Any chapter on the concept of training for ice hockey must begin with the concept of conditioning. Why? Because there seems to be a level of controversy relative to conditioning theory that is not present in many of the other training methods. Most experts in the area of conditioning for ice hockey are in some level of agreement as to how to improve strength, speed or power. The area of disagreement is in the area of conditioning or more specifically in the evaluation of conditioning. As a result, the early ortions of the chapter will focus on conditioning while the later parts will focus on strength, speed and power. The Physiology Behind Ice Hockey- The NHL Theory In some circles of the hockey world, particularly in upper management levels of the National Hockey League, there exists a flawed assumption that the overall fitness of a hockey player is based on his or her maximum oxygen consumption (Max. V02.) MVO2, or maximum oxygen consumption, is a standard measure of aerobic capacity frequently utilized to evaluate the condition of athletes involved in endurance sports like distance running, cycling and rowing.

  • Thank You & Campaign Results
    THANK YOU & CAMPAIGN RESULTS HHTH.COM | #STAYTHEPUCKHOME ABOUT THE STAY THE PUCK HOME CAMPAIGN FROM HOCKEY HELPS THE HOMELESS & BARDOWN HOCKEY Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hockey Helps the Homeless (HHTH) was forced to put their pro- am tournament season on hold, which bring in much-needed dollars to homeless support agencies and shelters across Canada. However, just because the pandemic put the rest of the world on pause, the need for support and funding for homeless and at-risk Canadians did not stop. In fact, it is only growing. For homeless and at-risk Canadians, the realities of the novel coronavirus are much different. They are at a much higher risk of contracting infections, chronic illnesses or compromised immune systems, making them extremely vulnerable to the virus and many lack the access to the supplies and infrastructure needed to maintain their health. Shelters and front-line workers working through the pandemic are in desperate need of funds since COVID-19 has put a tight strain on their budget and resources. They face an increase in demand from their clients, and a decrease in charitable giving from sponsors and their donors. Even though we are currently unable to host tournaments, everyone at HHTH still wanted to find a way to help. In order to do so, we teamed up with Bardown Hockey to create an exclusive, limited edition clothing line called “Stay The Puck Home” to support Canada’s homeless. 100% of net proceeds from the sale of the $25 t-shirts and $50 hoodies went to our charity partners from coast-to-coast.

    From: Rol Fieldwalker [<email address removed>] Sent: March 9, 2016 8:27 PM To: Pacific Northwest LNG / GNL Pacific Northwest (CEAA/ACEE) Subject: *****SPAM***** Re: Pacific Northwest LNG on Lelu Island As any grade 3 student will tell you, by now we all know all the reasons we have to stop using fossil fuel. Communities that are facing the possibility of the end of their way of life are not looking to negotiate a better deal~ whether in the form of local jobs,higher royalties, or better safety standards. More and more communities are simply saying"NO". no to the pipeline, no to fracking, no to the export terminal,no to Arctic drilling, no to the coal trains, no to the oil trains.... neither here nor anywhere else. In other words... no new carbon frontiers. The Lax Kw'alaams First Nation already voted 100% against this project in May, despite an offer of $1.4 billion from Petronas. The Lelu Island Declaration was signed by First Nations leaders from across the Skeena watershed, as well as Grand Chief Stewart Philip of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, MLAs Jennifer Rice, Doug Donaldson, and Robin Austin, and MP Nathan Cullen, to protect the proposed site – and its salmon – from LNG development. Lelu Island has been occupied by Lax Kw'alaams members since August 2015, who have been working to prevent further work on the rejected project. Madii Lii territory, which the fracked gas pipeline would pass through on the way to Lelu, has been closed to pipeline development by Luutkudziiwus people since Aug.

  • News Release
    June 29, 2016 Standing Committee on International Trade 6th Floor 131 Queen Street House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6 via email: [email protected] Dear Committee Members: In recent months, there has been a great deal of debate about the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) and what it means for Canada. The federal government has committed to a study of the agreement’s potential impacts on the Canadian economy; however, to date nothing has been made public, and we have been told no such study yet exists. How can the government possibly sign onto a massive international trade agreement without knowing the impacts it will have, or the potential consequences for the Canadian economy, the public and the environment? In fact, it would be irresponsible to proceed in this way. A genuine and independent economic impact analysis that considers all the implications of this agreement should be mandatory. Possibly one of the reasons for this failure to do an impact study is that the government knows full well that any benefits from the TPP will be marginal at best, while the damage done will be serious. A 2016 study from the C.D. Howe Institute predicts that the macroeconomic impact of the TPP on the Canadian economy would be a mere 0.068% growth in GDP by 2035. Perhaps even more interesting is that the study predicts only a 0.026% drop in GDP by 2035 if Canada does not ratify the TPP. This mirrors the recent US International Trade Commission’s study that showed that the TPP will increase the US trade deficit and will have almost no positive impact on the US economy.

We deeply regret to hear of the deaths of two workers from the mill. Our thoughts are with the entire community, particularly with the families of those who perished and the twenty two who were injured. At times filled with grief such as these, it is when we most rely on the strength and love of our community. As part of the greater British Columbian community we would like to offer our support. We are glad to hear that WorkSafeBC will be looking into this and will continue the call for action to prevent tragedies like this in the future. Bums Lake suffered a similar tragedy at Babine Forest Products early this year. The courage and commitment of that community to support the families most impacted is truly inspiring. We offered support in that tragedy and will continue to work with the mayor, the union and the company. Once again, we offer our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and co-workers at Lakeland Mills and to the entire community of Prince George. Sincerely, /~~ ~~ Jean Crowder, MP Alex Atamanenko, MP Don Davies, MP Nanaimo-Cowichan BC Southern Interior Vancouver-Kingsway ~\: (~\,~ }.;, hbv;i):w ;q Nathan Cullen, MP Libby Davies, MP Fin Donnelly, MP Skeena-Bulkley Valley Vancouver East New Westminster-Coquitlam and Port Moody I,_,{---: )-~- ~ v--­ lf,,.j~Q.~01'\ ll r~\L- ' Randall Garrison, MP Peter Julian, MP Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca Jasbir Sandhu, MP Burnaby-New Westminster Surrey North - ~ :J)n ~Ssi.
