1. Wayne Gretzky

He also holds the fastest scoring record with 50 goals in 39 matches. Gretzky ignited his passion for hockey in California thanks to his time working with the Los Angeles Kings, he finally turned Golden State into one of the fastest growing hockey locations in the United States.

2. Bobby Orr

Having played only 10 seasons at the NHL, Orr dominated his time by perfecting the skills and art of an attacking defender. Although Doug Harvey is a pioneer in creating the play style to help defenders shine, it is Orr who takes that philosophy to a whole new level.

Thanks to his fast and strong strides, Orr can slip around the team, he often moves around the field during competition. He is the gold standard for defender position with scoring records and effective attack support. In addition, Orr’s influence goes beyond the ice rink when he leads the players against the dishonesty of the Alan Eagleson player management business.

3. Mario Lemieux

Mario Lemieux scored 282 points in 70 games in his final season for Laval Voisins. He was close to the 200-point milestone in the 1988-1989 season with 85 goals and 114 assists. His career was interrupted for three seasons due to health reasons. Lemieux will always be remembered as one of the greatest players on the ice. In addition, the Mario Lemieux Foundation, which supports cancer research, has made his name known and remembered with respect.

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. With great strength, physique and skill, Jaromir Jagr will easily achieve a record of more than 800 goals in his career if he does not have to play for three years. 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

Hockey Hall of Fame is a famous museum that is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. And this hall dedicated to the history of hockey. The museum hosts exhibits about players, teams, memorabilia and National Hockey League (NHL) titles, including the Stanley Cup.

Hockey Hall of Fame was founded in 1943 in Kingston, Ontario under the leadership of James T. Sutherland. The first generation of honorary members was introduced in 1945, before the Hall of Fame had a permanent position. 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.

Teammates become rivals as USHL blueline partners Jones, Attard snapped up by Rangers, Flyers

June 22, 2019 by editor13 Posted in Blogging Tagged Attard, New York Rangers, Tri-City Storm, USHL

Tri-City Storm defended Zac Jones and Ronnie Attard as one of the best couples in the entire USHL last season and won a gold medal with Team USA at World Jr. A Challenge. But friends can one day become enemies after they are chosen by rival clubs.

They were one of the most dangerous combos in USHL, so it was fair when the defensive Tri-City Storm Zac Jones and partner Ronnie Attard were grabbed in just a few of their options in the 2019 draft. Jones flirted with reporters’ questions when I informed him that Attard was chosen after him, making an enthusiastic person so enthusiastic! There was a small push, however.

Jones was ranked 68th by the New York Rangers, while Attard was grabbed for his 72nd choice by rival Philadelphia Flyers. However, Jones was ecstatic because of his best friend.

Jones said that: “I’m so proud of him. He and I worked so hard this year. I’m excited for him and I’m excited to play against him – that should be a fun rivalry.”

Jones is a breakout star for Storm this season, using edgework and great mobility to compress the tape and create insult. He is not only suitable for rebuilding Rangers (who had a great second day of the draft after winning Kaapo Kakko on January 1), but New York is also a great place for him.

“My family is from Binghamton, N.Y., so they are currently pumping it all, right now”, Jones said. Then he cannot wait to become a Forest Ranger. In addition to helping Tri-City win the regular season title of USHL, Jones and Attard, it also won gold for the US Team at World Jr. A Challenge in December. On the way, Attard set a record of USHL on the number of goals scored by a defender when he scored the 20th, ending the season with 30.

Just 20 years old, Attard was adopted twice in the draft, but a big summer saw his skating speed up, while his game became smarter. Playing with Jones doesn’t hurt. “The time and space he created, he could find me anywhere on the tape”, said Attard. He added: “That worked well for us”.

In fact, Attard cited Jones as the No. 1 reason for his improvement, with increased confidence (supported by coach Anthony Noreen) second. “From day 1, we came and said that we would become the best D D couple in the tournament”, according to Jones. More and more, what he said and it works pretty well for them.

Attard may have gone to Western Michigan University last season, but decided his development would be supported by becoming a big fish with Tri-City. He will participate in Broncos next season, where Michigan natives are playing close to home and for veteran coach Andy Murray.

Meanwhile, Jones will head east to UMass, where the Minutemen turn everything on the backs of cruel men like Cale Makar and Mario Ferraro. “I love their coaching staff with Greg Carvel and you just need to look at the defenses they’ve developed”, said Jones. “They were not in a good position when I committed there, but I knew they would be in the right place because of that coaching staff”.

When it turned out, UMass was making the best season ever in the Frozen Four final. The draft is where dreams come true for all selected children, but it is extremely exciting to see the relationship between Jones and Attard in real time. Jones even has a little fun with his best friend, sneaking into the media Attard, and using the pen as a microphone to grill his “D”partner. He even mentioned the competition of Rangers-Flyers in their lives.

The origin of hockey

Hockey sport was first played in the 19th century. It took a lot of effort and development of several variations, before it became a game like today. Initially it was very rough and physical before some London cricket players changed that aspect while playing in their season.

It took some effort to put the rules together before the pioneers figured it out. The first international competition began in 1895 between Ireland and Wales.

The development of international hockey

Hockey was included in the 1908 Olympic calendar. It was played only by three teams: England, Scotland and Ireland. However, the game was officially included in the 1928 Olympic Games, in Amsterdam. Women’s Hockey first appeared in the 1980 Olympics, in Moscow.

Sports structure

The British army certainly played an important role in spreading this game throughout the British Empire. It was only after the English and Belgian hockey teams competed against each other, the international structure of the sport began. This saw the teams then join the French federation, to form an international hockey federation or Fédération International de Hockey (FIH). Starting only with seven founding members, FIH currently has 127 member countries.

A sport named Hockey, originally starting with a simple stick and a ball, now enjoys a large amount. Although this article does not have much to offer, there are other interesting facts to learn about this sport.
