Franziska Prockl Paderborn University, Management Department, Chair of Organizational, Media and Sports Economics, Warburger Str. 100, D-33098 Paderborn. May 2018 Working Paper ABSTRACT The purpose of the presented research is to advance the superstar literature on the aspect of superstar’s characteristics and value. Typically, superstar research is faced with one problem: They apply the same criteria to determine who their superstars are as to describe them later because they lack “an objective measure of star quality” (Krueger, 2005, p.18). To avoid this complication, the author chose to study Major League Soccer’s (MLS) designated players as this setting present a unique, as discrete, assignment of star status. MLS has formally introduced stars in 2007 under the designated player (DP) rule which delivers over 100 star-observations in the last ten years to investigate MLS strategy of star employment. The insights from this data set demonstrate which characteristics are relevant, whether MLS stars can be categorized as Rosen or Adler stars, and what the MLS pays for and in this sense values most. A cluster analysis discovers a sub group of ten stars that stand out from the others, in this sense superstars. A two-stage regression model confirms the value stemming from popularity, leadership qualities, previous playing level, age and national team experience but refutes other typical performance indicators like games played and goals scored or position.

    The Origin of Canada's Official National Winter Sport from Hurley on Ice to Ice Hockey

    The Origin of Canada’s Official National Winter Sport from Hurley on Ice to Ice Hockey By Dr. Garth Vaughan (Reproduced with the kind permission of Irish Connections Canada) Nova Scotia was still a British Colony at the time that the Irish game of Hurling was introduced to boys at Canada’s first college, King’s College School in Windsor, N.S. back around 1800, the school having been established by United Empire Loyalists in 1788. The first Principal of King’s College School was an Irishman named William Cochran, who had been educated in Ireland and left to come to America for the express purpose of teaching youth. He began at King’s College, New York, but, following the American Revolution, left for Nova Scotia. The Rev. William Cochran D.D. was born in Omagh in County Tyrone and was educated at Trinity College Dublin. For more than 40 years he was a Missionary of the Church of England and a Professor in King's College, Windsor. According to his great granddaughter, Mary Cochrane in 1916, William was a fiery graduate of Trinity College Dublin and was full of Irish Nationalism. His political opinions and cantankerous temper took him to New York and as a mark of his displeasure with the Government and his family he shed the last letter of his name on the voyage in 1784, so you will find William Cochran, without the “e”. The name of King’s College, New York was changed to Columbia College and then to Columbia University, thus freeing up the name of King’s College.
