In the article, “Hockey concussion: Is it child abuse?” Chris Hemond of the Canadian Medical Association (2012) aims to educate his audience of officials, coaches and players, on the developing concern for concussions in minor league hockey. Compared to TSN Senior Correspondent, Rick Westhead, whose article “Lives shattered by concussions: former NHL players share their stories” is intended to captivate the attention of parents, guardians and society. Westhead writes about the effect of concussion caused brain problems on a former NHL player, Mike Peluso.

In 1950 all throughout Canada, the interest in women playing hockey decreased due to World War II ending. During the war, when men left to serve in the army, women were often seen taking their place in sports. This had CCM create their own line of women specific hockey skates and equipment. Once the men returned from the war, women were encouraged to stop playing in sports and working, due to issues with their femininity and the traditional gender roles (that women should not participate in sports that did not emphasize their beauty or femininity). Once the war came to an end, the line that CCM created also was discontinued. This was a major factor that emphasized equality issues, since women were proven when the men were abroad, that they could equally play sports and work, they should be allowed to continue to do so. However, it took many decades for women to be seen equal not only in the workforce but in sports too.

As a result, it has virtually taken fighting out of the game of hockey. It is unfortunate, but a brain injury can have a huge impact on the players as well as the families of the players. In one of the football cases with Paul Oliver, he became uncharacteristically violent towards his family because he had developed a brain disease known as encephalopathy. While the fans do love hockey fights and it has served a big role in hockey, the lack of fighting has also made players more honest in the game. The consequences of fighting such as head injury do not make it worth it.

Great post, I agree that women will never get the praise and recognition they deserve for their successful achievement. Even if there accomplishing more than their male counter parts. I also agree that without Title IX women would have not had the same opportunities and probably would not have the chance to become professional in their sport. Not only was Title IX benifitual to the athletes, but it also had a positive effect on the women coaches, staff and sports administration by increasing their salaries. In today’s sports Title IX has made great changes to women sports, although women sports are still not given enough credit for there accomplishments as men.

The Canadian women were a huge influence to developing ice hockey for women and are the reason for the growth of the sport in other countries. One individual that does redefine the sport of ice hockey is Manon Rheaume who fought the barriers of integration. Manon’s efforts and determination to challenge her abilities was one of the biggest developments in women’s hockey. No only was Manon making a statement during her career but she was bringing attention to women’s ice hockey. Through Manon’s task oriented goals of challenging her abilities she became a part of the men’s team. She proved not only that she was good enough to play at a high level but also that women are highly capable to compete with the men through the act of integration of sexes.

The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) doesn’t have a legal responsibility to follow up allegations of abuse but it does have a duty to do so under its Royal Charter. They also have the legal power to make certain applications to court to protect children. In some areas, the NSPCC may also carry out some child protection work on behalf of the local

Since the beginning of hockey, fans have gone crazy for the entertainment fights bring to the games. The punches thrown, blood drawn and players knocked out certainly excites the crowd and are part of the culture of the game. In fact, it is so widely accepted, that teams specifically hire big guys to be “enforcers” that protect the rest of the team and throw the punches no one else cares to. Despite its duration in the league, do these fights have negative consequences as well? Lately, there has been great controversy over whether or not to continue to allow fighting in the league. The N.H.L. hasn’t declared any rule against fighting, but rather, has created a set of rules to outline the penalties and define the responsibilities of fights (National Hockey League: Official Rules 2014-2015). What the N.H.L. lacks, however, is a statement with evidence to support why they have chosen to allow fighting. With the current uproar, the League should consider the unfortunate facts and reassess their decision.

Federal laws such as The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act has greatly impacted the education and life of people with special needs in the United States. Rosalind Charlesworth (2013) reports that the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act is the revised version of the Education of All Handicapped children act of 1975. The U.S Department of Education (2007) states that the Education of All Handicapped children act of 1975 was established by the U.S congress to “support states and localities in protecting the rights of, meeting the individual needs of, and improving the results of infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities and their families”. However, Charlesworth (2013) goes on to say that children from the ages

Women’s roes in sports have been statistically low because women are still trying to make their way into the sporting world. Anything that has to do with sports, whether its playing a sport, coaching a sport, or even broadcasting a sport has been so heavily dominated by men that women are still trying to make their mark on the sporting world. In the early years of college sports people saw sports as something only males do and women shouldn’t because they would sweat or injure themselves. Title IX has made it a little easier for women to enter the sporting world but the world still sees sports as something males do. I do feel like this direction is changing however, it is changing slowly. For example, The National Pro Fastpitch league for

In the last one hundred years women have made tremendous inroads in many facets of life. Of that there can be little doubt. Women may now hold jobs, own property and participate in professional sports. Today women can compete in sports, once a vestige of male domination; there is now room for women in that arena. But even today women in sports are not portrayed in the same light as their male counterparts. To a large degree this is because of today's cultural ideal of women.
