Malaysia has set a goal of striving for the remaining half of preparation for the Asian Games held in Doha after a sprint with good results in the hockey qualifying round (women) at Kuala Lumpur Stadium.

Hockey is a type of sport in which two teams compete against each other by trying to control a ball or a hard and round disc, called a hockey ball, into the net or goal of the other team with a hockey stick. Malaysia has set a goal of striving for this sport at Asian Games.

Head of the women’s hockey team, Norfaraha Hashim, said: “I think the team has learned a lot of lessons, as well as techniques, strategies to compete after attending the Commonwealth Games. Here, our girls have shown stable performance, become excellent players and the evidence is the result that we have won in the qualifying round with 3 consecutive victories. We have always been a solid formation despite the pressure of the medal and even the underground attack. The results in the qualifying round will be a great motivation for us to perform better at the 15th Asian Games”.

Hashim said that Malaysia last attended the Games in 1986 in South Korea. There the Malaysian women’s hockey team lost in the semi-finals and ASIAD 15 will have a good chance for Malaysia to find what was lost.

According to the hockey coach, Mr. CRKumar had a good match and was an opportunity for him and his students to check the level and arrange the positions on the new strategy to compete with high results.

He also added that the team is currently struggling and worried in the free-kick position by Nurul Nadia Mokhatar – the person who holds this position cannot continue playing due to a knee injury was a major loss for Malaysia’s Hockey team before the Asian Games.

However, Mr. C.R.Kumar also added: “The team is well prepared and the Norfaraha players are showing very good performance in this position. So now we are focusing on training this athlete. With the current performance of Norfaraha we will have more choices for the upcoming Asian Games”.

Rules of play and how to play field hockey

December 4, 2019 by editor13 Posted in About Hockeys Tagged ball situation, Field hockey, Sticks for lefties

Field hockey is a sport that takes place between two teams of up to eleven people on the field.

Teams can change people with as many people and times as they want, at any time during the match, except when the corner kick is in progress. There are two exceptions to this rule: when the defensive goalkeeper is injured or disqualified, or the player may leave the court, but must wait until the player has made a touch of the ball for another person to enter.

Players are allowed to control the ball with the side of the front and with the edges of the head and stick, with the exception of safety reasons that players should not hit hard on the ball with a horizontal stroke forehand due to the difficulty of controlling the height and direction of the ball from such a shot.

The surface of the staff should always be on the right side for the right-handed when swinging the club from right to left. Sticks for lefties have produced but are extremely rare. However, the rule does not allow people to use this type of cane. To play from left to right the player must make the surface of the clubface contact with the ball by turning the clubhead, possibly by rotating the handle about 180 degrees.

Other rules can include: do not touch the ball with your feet and with your hands, do not obstruct the opponent’s movement, do not swing the club too high, and there is no third party. If the player is dribbling at the same time losing control and kicking the ball or another player intervenes, that player is not allowed to control the ball or continue to dribble. Rules do not allow players to kick the ball to gain control of the ball, so the ball will belong to the other team.

Conversely, if kicking does not provide the team with any control over the ball, the game will continue. Players must not prevent others from having a chance to make a shot of any kind. Do not push/use your body or stick to hinder your team’s progress. The penalty for this error is to give the ball to the opponent and if it recurs this action may be booked. When an athlete performs a free kick or a corner kick, the shot may not pass high as this is considered dangerous.

In the end, there cannot be three players touching the ball at the same time. Two players on two opposing teams can compete with the ball, however, if one player interferes with the dispute it will be considered a third party and the ball will belong to the team with less participants in the ball situation.

Hockey – The art of fighting sport

November 6, 2019 by editor13 Posted in About Hockeys Tagged fighting sport., full-body movement, hockey, technical elements

Hiding behind thick clothes, using sturdy long sticks and having to stand on a wide contact surface of less than 1cm, hockey is really a dangerous fighting sport.

A few years ago, most people had absolutely no idea of this sport and did not even know the name Hockey. The reason why hockey is not so popular in some countries is probably due to its complexity.

The first is the technical element. Unlike other competitive sports, hockey requires players to master at least one important skill, which is skating. Moving on a synthetic plastic floor with a special type of shoe similar to roller skates (without a wheel on the sole of the shoe but instead with a metal slice), skating requires the player to be able to hold the balance by special. According to the majority of young people who have learned to play ice skating, to be able to learn how to stand firm, it takes at least 2-3 training sessions. And to move really as you like, it takes a lot more time and it depends on the ability of each person.

As a fighting sport, hockey involves factors such as collision, rotation and anyone who has ever played football, basketball knows, even when moving on the feet, these factors also cause a lot of difficulty for standing, let alone moving by skates.

Besides technical issues, Hockey is also complex in both equipment and competition equipment. Other equipments such as hats, protective clothing, gloves, and sticks are also very expensive. This makes it difficult for those who want to own a real kit in this game. Even in the event of a sufficient purchase, being able to wear a thick outfit, wear a bulky hat that limits visibility, and then practice playing is another matter.

From the outside, hockey is not really “eye-catching.” In the audience, only one large group of bulky players is gathered around a small disk that is difficult to see. The competing scenes didn’t have any special beauty, all showed that this is a boring sport for the viewers, but in the posture, the player is completely different.

Every sport needs full-body movement, but most of them focus on technical elements in only one part (feet with football, hands with basketball, table tennis…), Hockey, in contrast, requires dexterity in both hands and feet. Although the skill of skating is difficult and requires a lot of practice time, the hand is still the main body of hockey competition, so of course, hockey players must be dexterity. It is this complexity that attracts some young people to hockey.

The difference between NHL and AHL you may not know

October 9, 2019 by editor13 Posted in About Hockeys Tagged AHL, hockey teams, NHL

More than ordinary fans know professional hockey in the US extends to much larger sections. There are hockey teams in the deep south as well as in the cold northern states and everywhere in between.

That being the case, many people don’t know the difference between different domestic hockey leagues, mostly between AHL and NHL.

AHL is the United States Hockey League, consists of 29 professional hockey teams, and is mainly based in the United States. AHL primarily serves as the main development site for NHL, which is the National Hockey League. NHL is a not-for-profit association that runs a hockey tournament, comprising 30 clubs (franchise), of which 6 are from Canada and 24 are from the US. This tournament is considered the leading professional ice hockey tournament in the world.

The most obvious factor distinguishing these tournaments is money. The minimum wage for the AHL is $ 36, 500, while for the NHL is 500,000 USD. However, the basic difference between the two tournaments is quite long and complicated. Each tournament includes skilled players, and the links are common in NHL and AHL, where clubs will give some of their players, especially a player, to their branch. in ECHL. In general, in NHL teams, players have the basis and development for AHL.

It is slightly different from AHL. For each affiliate agreement (for the most part), the NHL franchise pays players money, regardless of whether the team is privately owned or not. The job of recruiting coaches and other hockey operators is the responsibility of the NHL team, allowing them to take overall control of the players’ staff. Here, development is considered to be the highest priority, and as such, the quality of the AHL teams reflects the free contracts of the parent club and the drafters.

Always assume that the difference in game speed between the two levels is huge. The truth is that the difference is very thin, if not significant. The main difference is not the speed but the combination of skill and intelligence of the game.

Looking at players from different leagues, others develop in the AHL, however, due to things like size, level of cognitive skills, age and others, it is difficult to reach NHL. This, however, does not represent a true picture of a player’s skill level on an individual level. As in fact, AHL and NHL players can be at the same level when it comes to talent and skills on an individual basis.

In general, a player in NHL tends to be able to read games better than players in AHL or other minor tournaments like ECHL. The best way to prove this is to visualize killing a penalty while your opponent is already in your area, from the perspective of the target person. In this case, you will be your target waiting to explode, puck in the corner and an offensive player with you. In AHL, a top player can have two or three options, while at NHL, a good player will be able to make up to four options, because of his ability to read games plus the level. His experience clearly excels in AHL and small tournaments.

4. Jaromir Jagr

Jaromir Jagr owns five scoring goals, three Lester Pearson titles (now Ted Lindsay) and one Hart title, he won all the individual awards of a hockey player.

At 43, he remains an effective player and is most sought after by the NHL teams.

Hockey Hall of Fame – The space for hockey history

September 12, 2019 by editor13 Posted in About Hockeys Tagged Downtown Toronto, Hockey Hall of Fame, Kingston, National Hockey League

The museum relocated to Toronto in 1958 after NHL withdrew its support for the Hockey Hall International Hockey Hall in Kingston, Ontario. The first permanent building was opened at the Exhibition Place in 1961. In 1993, the hall was moved to the former Montreal Bank building in Downtown Toronto to locate its headquarters.

A committee of 18 people, coaches and others meet every year in June to choose new titles, who are introduced as players, builders or officials on ice. In 2010, a subsection was created for women. The builder’s portfolio includes coaches, general managers, commentators, team owners and others who helped build the game.

Honorary members are introduced to the Hall of Fame during an annual ceremony held in the Hall of Fame building in November, followed by a “Hockey Hall of Fame Game” – a very special game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and a visiting team. As of 2016, 271 players (including 4 women), 105 builders and 16 officers on the ice were included in the Hall of Fame. Because of focusing primarily on players from NHL as well as largely ignoring players from other North American, it also has been criticized for.

Hockey Hall of Fame is run by Lanny McDonald as the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and CEO Jeff Denommé. It operates as a non-profit organization called “Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum” (HHFM), independent of the National Hockey League. The Hall of Fame was originally sponsored by NHL and Hockey Canada, earning primarily on entry ticket sales.

Temporarily forget the hockey match, see top two match should take place in the UFC in 2019

July 2, 2019 by editor13 Posted in Blogging Tagged Darren Till, hockey match, UFC, UFC in 2019, Usman Kamaru

A year of tumultuous 2018 and success has passed away with the UFC, while leaving many questions: Which battles should take place in the planet’s No. 1 tournament in the year 2019?

The year 2018-UFC completed long way 25 years associated with the history of MMA – “sport of the 21st century” with the success of the same series of events. The new champion, these blockbuster matches, and all the remaining unfinished tournament loss to wait in the year 2019.

1. Tyron Woodley vs. Colby Covington

Currently, the UFC announced belt match between Tyron Woodley and Usman Kamaru will be Co-Main Event at UFC 235 on next March. Technically, can say is martial artist Usman Kamaru likely menace of championship Woodley for the present time. By after 9 matches in UFC, Nigerian nightmare has proven capable of wrestling, striking (hitting), strength, fitness of you totally deserve the selected Tyron Woodley.

When the file has been Welterweigt belt latches, can not not mention Colby Covington-boxing Lam lyrics, who holds the interim Welterweight belt, martial artist always attacked every object in the UFC. Colby “Chaos” Covington aimed at the champion and in particular expressed the discontent when he ignored the UFC to Darren Till have power in UFC 228 belt paintings with Woodley.

After the completion of three protected Woodley belt with Stephen Thompson and Darren Till, Tyron Woodley started aiming the Superfight match – but perhaps, due to the UFC for that Woodley not-be visitors, this aspiration of “The Choosen One” have not been met.

Not as desired, Woodley returned to Covington in UFC 233, but again not to you when this event is cancelled when only a month till the day. And the ultimatum for Woodley in UFC 235 was contracted, the match between Woodley and Covington was cancelled.

With the controversy from before, the attention of the community to the Woodley-Covington began to split into two trends: a Welterweight for that need the bad boy as this weight class to become the Covington boils, a great wish Tyron Woodley teaching for the Covington a lesson about the humble. And to think this will definitely still be there-until the match is taking place.

2. Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier in the Heavyweight class

Back to the full to convince when pass Alexander Gustafsson in UFC 232, Jon Jones continues to affirm the unique position in the Light-heavyweight. At this time, the audience started to mention Daniel Cormier-who twice hung messages with Jon Jones, currently hold the Heavyweight belt.

Let’s review the situation of each person at the present time, will we be able to see Jones vs DC 3 at Heavyweight. The first thing to impede Jones and Cormier may meet, is both declared themselves will not change the challenge class of the pair. However, this is by no means certain:

Daniel Cormier is also a match with Brock Lesnar took up the contract until the UFC 226 decided to retire in the year 2019. However, with coach Javier Mendez said that Dana White just persuade, Cormier could stay in the UFC a couple more matches.

Jon Jones was about to contract with Anthony Smith in the upcoming UFC 235, if successful and belt protection with the favor of the UFC, Jon Jones absolutely qualifies for promotion to challenge Daniel Cormier for the championship belt. Light-heavyweight champion also said he is willing to fight and win 3 battles in the year 2019 to get back the 2 year time period, wasting a perfect reason to believe Jones will continue to challenge himself this year.
