Ice Hockey in Nova Scotia Ice Hockey in Nova Scotia The Early Years The Windsor Avonians – 1900 by Dr. Garth Vaughan The Avonians named after the Avon River at Windsor, were champions of the town in 1900. They won the Citizens Trophy, donated by Windsor hockey fans for competition of four senior teams in the Town League, the Avonians, Elgraves, Kings College and Resolutes. The population of Windsor then was a mere 2,000, but then again, that was the same population of Windsor Juniors - 1889 Edmonton at the time! This is one of the oldest hockey team photos in Canada.

    ICE HOCKEY PACKET # 23 INSTRUCTIONS This Learning Packet has two parts: (1) text to read and (2) questions to answer. The text describes a particular sport or physical activity, and relates its history, rules, playing techniques, scoring, notes and news. The Response Forms (questions and puzzles) check your understanding and apprecia- tion of the sport or physical activity. INTRODUCTION Ice hockey is a physically demanding sport that often seems brutal and violent from the spectator’s point of view. In fact, ice hockey is often referred to as a combination of blood, sweat and beauty. The game demands athletes who are in top physical condition and can maintain nonstop motion at high speed. HISTORY OF THE GAME Ice hockey originated in Canada in the 19th cen- tury. The first formal game was played in Kingston, Ontario in 1855. McGill University started playing ice hockey in the 1870s. W. L. Robertson, a student at McGill, wrote the first set of rules for ice hockey. Canada’s Governor General, Lord Stanley of Preston, offered a tro- phy to the winner of the 1893 ice hockey games. This was the origin of the now-famed Stanley Cup. Ice hockey was first played in the U. S. in 1893 at Johns Hopkins and Yale universities, respec- tively. The Boston Bruins was America’s first NHL hockey team. Ice hockey achieved Olym- pic Games status in 1922. Physical Education Learning Packets #23 Ice Hockey Text © 2006 The Advantage Press, Inc. Through the years, ice hockey has spawned numerous trophies, including the following: NHL TROPHIES AND AWARDS Art Ross Trophy: First awarded in 1947, this award goes to the National Hockey League player who leads the league in scoring points at the end of the regular hockey season.

But most training camps are held in September, before an NHL season, and last nearly a month. They also include five or six preseason games, and after that goalies might still need a couple of more weeks of playing regularly to hone their timing and puck-tracking skills.

  • International Hockey Festival the Plains of Abraham: When History Catches up with the Present
    PRESS RELEASE For immediate release International Hockey Festival The Plains of Abraham: when history catches up with the present Québec, January 18, 2011 – Nearly 100 years after the Stanley Cup was first seen on the Plains of Abraham, the National Battlefields Commission is proud to welcome on these grounds the 3rd International Hockey Festival, to be held next February 4 to 6 during the Québec Winter Carnival. We would like to remind you that it was at the Quebec Skating Rink (Pavillon des patineurs), located on the Plains of Abraham, that the Quebec Bulldogs played in the Amateur Hockey Association of Canada. Led by their star player Joe Malone, the Québec City team won the prestigious Stanley Cup twice, during the 1911-12 and 1912-13 seasons. Malone, a Québec City native, quickly earned the respect of supporters and other league players for his scoring talent, as well as for his impressive game style. In 1918, the building, which could accommodate nearly 2,000 spectators, was destroyed by fire. A stone’s throw from this historical Mecca, amateur hockey players will confront each other for three consecutive days during the greatest festive hockey event in the world. Sports fans are invited to enjoy the enchanting site of the Plains of Abraham when they come to visit. All kinds of entertainment are offered, including cross-country skiing and snowshoeing (if weather permits), the Odyssey multimedia exhibition, as well as a guided snowshoe tour of the park exploring the history of the sport on the Plains of Abraham.

  • The 2020-21 NHL Regular Season Concluded
    The 2020-21 NHL regular season concluded Wednesday, May 19 after the Canucks and Flames played the last of the League’s 868 games in a campaign condensed by the COVID-19 pandemic 105 – Points accumulated by Art Ross Trophy winner Connor McDavid in only 56 games (33-72—105), the highest point total ever by a player during a campaign in which clubs contested a schedule of 56 games or fewer. He became the seventh different player in NHL history to score at least 1.88 points-per-game in a single season (min. 50 GP), a rate that would have had him on pace for 154 points in a typical 82-game season (a scoring mark reached by only Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Steve Yzerman). 71 – Percentage of games in 2020-21 decided by a one-goal margin or multiple goals following an empty-net tally (614 of 868 GP), tied for the third-highest percentage in NHL history through 868 games (2015-16: 74%, 644 games; 2018-19: 72%, 622 games; 2019-20: 71%, 613 games). 59 – Years that Gordie Howe had held the title of the League’s all-time games played leader before Sharks forward Patrick Marleau claimed the distinction by skating in his 1,768th regular-season game on April 19. 53 – Games required by Connor McDavid to hit the 100-point mark. He became the ninth different player in NHL history to reach 100 points in 53 games or fewer and first since 1995-96. 49 – Games required by Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews to reach the 40-goal mark.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 19, 2020 Mcdavid, MATTHEWS WIN
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 19, 2020 McDAVID, MATTHEWS WIN ART ROSS, MAURICE “ROCKET” RICHARD TROPHIES NEW YORK (May 19, 2021) – The 2020-21 National Hockey League regular season concluded today with Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid capturing his third Art Ross Trophy as the League’s scoring champion and Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews claiming his first Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy as the NHL’s goal-scoring leader. McDavid registered a League-best 105 points (33-72—105 in 56 GP) – 21 more than the next-closest player (teammate Leon Draisaitl: 31-53—84 in 56 GP) – to earn his third career Art Ross Trophy, adding to back-to-back wins 2016-17 and 2017-18. He became the ninth player in NHL history to claim the award at least three times as well as the third to achieve the feat prior to his 25th birthday, following Wayne Gretzky (5x) and Gordie Howe (3x). McDavid’s 21-point gap over the runner-up was the largest by an NHL scoring champion since 1990-91, when Gretzky (41-122—163 in 78 GP w/ LAK) finished 32 points ahead of Brett Hull (86-45—131 in 78 GP w/ STL). McDavid, who also topped the League in assists (72), power-play assists (28) and power-play points (37), factored on 57.38 percent of Edmonton’s 183 total goals (excluding the shootout) – the highest single-season percentage in NHL history, ahead of Mario Lemieux in 1988-89 (57.35% w/ PIT). He also posted a League- leading 1.88 points per game – the most by any player since 1995-96, when Lemieux averaged 2.30 (69-92—161 in 70 GP w/ PIT).
