Sled hockey was invented in the early 1960s at the Stockholm rehabilitation center. A group of Swedes wanted to continue to play hockey despite their disability. The game follows the ice hockey rules with a few exceptions. The players sit on specially designed sleds that have two hockey blades under them. Furthermore, each player uses two specially designed sticks with metal pick on the ends. This helps the person propel themselves across the ice. Finally, the goalie uses specially designed gloves with metal picks sewn to the back of each glove. This helps the goalie to maneuver during the game. http://www.usahockey.com/sledhockey

To someone that has never set foot in an ice rink it is slippery. The ice under your blades scrape with every move you make. When I was a kid

The most important part of a hockey player’s gear is their skates. To be more precise the blades on the skates are the most important, because that is what is in contact with the ice to allow the player to generate traction to move around the ice with ease. So the equipment manager or anyone else who has the job of sharpens someone’s hockey skates need to have the knowledge to be able to sharpen someone skates perfectly. They have to know the correct process to sharpen skates to perfection every time. The process is very simple as long as you can follow this procedure to ensure perfection in the skate sharpening.

and are designed out of different materials like wood and steel. Although roller coasters are fun and exciting, the questions, what allows them to twist and turn, go up and down hills at a fairly good speed? Why do they not fall off of the track when it goes through a loop? The answer to these questions and others about roller coasters lies in the application

What and how Hockey Hockey is played on a rink surrounded by hard plastic and glass boards. The length of the rink is 200 ft thats over twice the size of a basketball court. The width is 85 ft. Every age plays on the same size rink except the olympics. In fact hockey players need a lot of gear to protect them from the puck ( a frozen,rubber, disc ).

Have you ever wondered what kind of equipment they use in curling? Curling use a lot different equipment in the competitions. I am going to tell you about a few different types of equipment that are used in curling. Some equipment that is used in curling are shoes with traction, brooms, stabilizers, delivery stick, and granite stones. The equipment have been advanced in differetn ways like the stones are granite and the shoes have more traction. When curling was invented they did not use stabilizers. Stabilizer were added for safety too. The shoes have soft insoles so you can grip the ice

General Motors, at one point the largest car manufacturer in the world, needed a bailout in 2009 to stay in business. One of the main reason the auto giant filed for bankruptcy was seen on the balance sheet where assets were $82.2 billion and a vast amount of liabilities that equated to a whopping $172 billion. With this massive amount of debt hanging over the company, General Motors according to the Economist, “the chief financial officer sought to raise $3 billion through a sale of bonds or shares,”(Economist Editor). After Lehman Brothers had fallen GM knew that they would not be able to get the funds, so they tried to sell non-core assets,(Economist Editor). At this point, the stock price for General Motors fell to $3, (Economist Editor).

Skateboarding has been around since 1944. Initially, created as a crate with wheels and a bar used as a handle bar, the idea was slowly being more refined. Woman’s Army Corps Betty Magnuson, reported seeing French children riding on wooden boards with rollerblade wheels attached to them which would imply that the idea has been played around with but never capitalized upon. From crate boxes with handle bars, to popsicle shaped boards with specialty made wheels backed with a massive culture, skateboarding has become a popular industry.

Anyone who has been on ice knows that standing up on it is very difficult. However, Gia can spin in the air and make it look like it is an easy task. Every move she makes is flawless. Gia's dream is to make it to the Olympics one day. Her hard work and effort is going to pay off one day. She

As everyone knows, ice hockey is played on ice, which makes it an extremely high paced game. Unlike ice hockey, Roller hockey is played on a plastic floor that consists of many six-inch by six-inch tiles. The plastic floor makes roller hockey a much slower paced game than ice hockey. The reason that roller hockey is so much slower than ice hockey is because there is more friction. The friction is produced in the

The chemistry that skiers use is ski wax. This wax helps the skiers to control how their skies perform under certain conditions. The type of ski wax depends on the type of snow they will encounter while skiing. Chemicals in some wax help skis go smoother down the mountains. The wax repels water that is on the skis as they go down the snow. On the other hand, cross country skiers must go uphill as well as down hill, so their wax has to grip the snow while going uphill. There are two formulas for ski wax, one that makes skis faster, and another that helps it grip. Wax contains one or more hydrocarbons. The molecules are made from a chain of hydrogen and carbon atoms. The first layer of wax on the skis connects with the bottom to keep out dirt

Since seals are mammals and must breathe, they scratch a number of holes through the ice as it begins to freeze and periodically return to them for air.

The players skate up and down the ice shooting or passing a hard rubber disk called a puck with sticks. They score points by hitting the puck into the net.

Hockey is a game of stick and ball with origins going back to thousands of years. It is conventionally played on grass, but more frequently it is played on man-made surfaces. Two teams play using hooked sticks to push, hit, pass and dribble a small, hard ball with single aim in mind i.e. to notch a goal by receiving the ball past the goalkeeper. Hockey is a team game played on a very large surface of field or ice or may be on street. With the Hockey stick in hand, players clash to strike the puck past the goalie into the opposite teams’ goal net. Every team has somewhere from 12 to 30 plus players with at least one labeled goalie. Players are chosen as either defensive or offensive players. Every team has three forwards on the field or ice, a center, right wing and left wing, has two defensive players and a goalie. That is without a team is shorthanded due to a penalty.

If this happens, the individual flakes develop strong bonds and form a solid and cohesive mass. But when it is cold, water vapors can slip to the bottom of the snowpack, forming angular crystals. These crystals tend to weaken the snow and undermine it from below (Fink).
