Advice for a Young Hockey Player by Flyers Minor Atom A Team Pdf

The bestselling little authors of Thanks to My Hockey Dad and I Love My Hockey Mom have been at it again, drawing on their cumulative hockey experience as nine-year-old player prodigies to create the next hockey bestseller: Advice for a Young Hockey Player. You need to master the basics to be successful in hockey, and this book offers practical advice that young players can use to improve their game. It offers gems of wisdom like always keep your feet moving and don't be scared of bigger players. Even more than that, though, it provides a window into young players' inner thoughts and feelings, and these are often honest, heart-felt, and funny. If you make a bad play, one boy reminds us, remember to look up at your mom and not your dad. The colour illustrations throughout are creative, funny, and charming. There are 570,000 hockey players registered in Canada, and they would all benefit from this simple advice... as would their parents. Parents will enjoy the simple messages, and be gently reminded that hockey is a game, a game we all love, but a game that, most of all, we should let our kids play with joy, love, and passion. It is a game intended to be fun.

Orr by Bobby Orr Pdf

One of the greatest sports figures of all time at last breaks his silence in a memoir as unique as the man himself. Number 4. It is just about the most common number in hockey, but invoke that number and you can only be talking about one player -- the man often referred to as the greatest ever to play the game: Bobby Orr. From 1966 through the mid-70s he could change a game just by stepping on the ice. Orr could do things that others simply couldn’t, and while teammates and opponents alike scrambled to keep up, at times they could do little more than stop and watch. Many of his records still stand today and he remains the gold standard by which all other players are judged. Mention his name to any hockey fan – or to anyone in New England – and a look of awe will appear.

Hockey Tough by Saul L. Miller Pdf

You’ll learn how to control your emotions and maintain composure, stay focused in clutch situations, play aggressively—not carelessly—and improve the team’s performance game in and game out. Throughout, performance consultant Saul Miller presents the training techniques he has taught hockey players and teams for more than 40 years at every level from college to European leagues, from Olympics to NHL. With insights, anecdotes, and advice from elite players, such as Sidney Crosby, Daniel Sedin, Brendan Gallagher, Ryan Getzlaf, and Mark Messler, Hockey Tough is essential to becoming a complete player on and off the ice.

How Canadians Communicate V by David Taras,Christopher Waddell Pdf

Fewer Canadians than ever are lacing up skates, swimming lengths at the pool, practicing their curve ball, and experiencing the thrill of competition. However, despite a decline in active participation, Canadians spend enormous amounts of time and money on sports, as fans and followers of sporting events and sports culture. Never has media coverage of sports been more exhaustive, and never has it been more driven by commercial interests and the need to fuel consumerism, on which corporate profits depend. But the power plays now occurring in the arena of sports are by no means solely a matter of money. At issue as well in the media capture of sports are the values that inform our daily lives, the physical and emotional health of the population, and the symbols so long central to a sense of Canadian identity. Writing from a variety of perspectives, the contributors to this collection set out to explore the impact of the media on our reception of, and attitudes toward, sports—to unpack the meanings that sports have for us as citizens and consumers. Some contributors probe the function of sports as spectacle—the escalation of violence, controversies over drug use, and the media’s coverage of tragic deaths—while others shed light on the way in which the media serve to transform sports into a vehicle for the expression of identity and nationalism. The goal is not to score points but to prompt critical discussion of why sports matter in Canadian life and culture and how they contribute to the construction of identity.
