Hockey Panorama

Normal panorama of the parking lot which has long been the location of hockey every year for I don’t know how long.

If you’re a hockey player, then generic workouts won’t benefit you as much as specific hockey workouts. Any working out, if done safely and with proper form, will benefit you, but focusing on exercises that will help your on-ice game is the way to go. Here are three great exercises you should be doing to help make sure your on-ice performance is maximized.

1) Wood-chopper.

The wood-chopper is an exercise where you take a weight and hold it on both hands with a neutral grip, raise your arms up over one shoulder, and then chop them down and across your body, almost as if you were swinging an axe (hence the name). The gains from this will translate directly into your shot power.

2) Squats and split-squats.

When you skate, proper form says that your knees are bent, as if almost in a sitting position. A squat also puts you in that same position, and the explosive push up is much like the push through your stride. Squats will work all the major muscle groups you use in your skating stride.

3) Wrist rolls.

Wrist rolls are done by holding a stick at both ends with a rope in the middle and a weight suspended. You roll the stick in your hands (like you were rolling a newspaper), wrapping the rope around and bringing the weight up. The wrist strength gained will have a huge impact on your shooting and passing.

Doing these exercises will go a long way to improve your fitness both off the ice and particularly on the ice. However, these are only three exercises out of many that can be directly translated into specific aspects of your on-ice game.

March 1 Hockey Stuff


Image by NedraI
Daily Shoot: During the Olympics, we saw many images of sports. Make your own photo of a sports activity, gear, or spirit today.

This is what part of our basement looks like during the winter. My daughter brings her hockey bag to the basement and lays everything out to air dry. Drying equipment is something we’ve insisted on since she first started playing. At one time she had lots of hooks in her room to hang everything but at one point she decided that wasn’t the decor she was looking for and moved it all to the basement. Yes, the 17 year old does have a Labatt’s Blue hockey bag, thanks to her dad. On the days I get motivated to ride my bike I have to step around all this stuff! Luckily since she keeps it aired out it doesn’t smell too bad.

Hockey is far more than a sport to most Canadians, it’s a catalyst for memories of youth. Whether it’s playing hockey on a frozen pond after the snow has been shoveled to the edges, or playing on the street in between cars and until the street lights come on.

Investing time and effort on interactive programs that take hockey players step by step through the entire process of learning all of the techniques involved to play well enough.

Hockey brings back crystal clear memories for most Canadians. That’s why hockey means so much more than just a sport it’s a nostalgic reminder of a less troubled past, and a reminder of a happy youth.

Usually it resembles some kind of train wreck in front of the goalie, with shot after shot, as the goalie goes down and up time and time again. Defensemen sliding desperately, risking injury to stop the puck, in the hopes, that the final seconds will elapse and the hockey game will be theirs.

Your necessary equipment for hockey guide is complete when you have gloves, shin pads, pants, stockings, elbow pads, athletic support, shoulder pads, and a helmet. You are very wise to wear a helmet, whether required or not. Not only will it protect you, but it also will give you confidence in your early years of developing skating skills. Now you should be able to score goals, pleasing yourself and your team!

Let us take a look first at the various ways of shooting and of beating the goalkeeper there is an underlying factor behind these teaching incentives and one of this is to give all the opportunity to see how enjoyable a career with the right training and a certain degree of talent.

Anything that is technologically advanced is certain to catch the eye or the attention of any young person already expressed interest in learning how to play hockey.

Thus, before do this, you should know a very important fact about shooting. Your team will do well to average 30 to 40 shots on goal per game. If you are a forward, you may have only six to eight shots in a game. In an hour of scrimmage practice, this average may be only slightly higher.

You can hope to win only if you have a thorough knowledge, guide and information of the target areas, which means you will have to put in long, hard practice sessions in the net.

Hockey Day In Canada


Image by kk+
On the one year anniversary of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games, the city of Vancouver had Hockey Day in Canada celebration. This included series of pick-up hockey games on the streets of downtown Vancouver with local players, city officials and media.

The game of ice hockey can get fierce and dangerous because you can get checked across the ice and even get into a fight and the refs allow it. Ice hockey is unlike any other winter sport. You glide across the ice on a pair of ice skates and try to hit a black puck that is heavy into a net.

Men and women play ice hockey along with teens and kids. Even though it is a hard and tough sport you can still play it without getting hurt all the time even though you are bound to get into a fight or get hurt. They have pro ice hockey for both men and women and it gets competitive especially if you are good and you get checked then the whole team might come out on the ice and fight.

Professional ice hockey is basically the most violent sport on the face of the earth. If you get into a fight in hockey they let you keep going until the fight goes to the ground. They even let you take off your gloves and helmets and actually duke it out even though you are on a pair of ice skates you can still take a beating and give a good beating as well.

For each penalty the get placed in the penalty box or something like that. I am not familiar with hockey but my cousin played hockey for about half of his life since he was about 5 till he was about 16. He was on all the travel teams and almost went pro but instead wanting to become a doctor.

So with these penalties and your best teammate in the box the team will have time to do a power play and score and remember that in ice hockey the score doesn’t really reach over 5 points in a game much so if the teams get tied it can end up to be a brawl not a good ending. Especially if the teams are tied then someone checks another player for no reason and that causes them to lose the game. There will always be fights in hockey and there always have been fights in hockey.

The game is usually played in 3 periods each lasting 20 minutes long. If the teams are tied they do go into overtime just like any other game but first one to score wins. There are 2 goalies and they protect the nets in which both teams are trying to score in. the goalies are the most depended on as they protect the goal so if they get disrespected and checked by a forward there is going to be a fight no doubt about it. All you do is sit and wait for the fight to break out then you just watch in aw as it goes on without a ref stepping in and calling the game unless the whole teams get on the ice then it’s a team fight and they will both get fines and stuff for their actions.
