Offside Rules Case Study

The recent controversy going on in the sports world is about Dennis Wideman, an NHL player who is recently playing for Calgary flames as a defenseman who was suspended for 20 games for hitting the linesman Don Henderson during January 27 game against Nashville Predators. He has been in a spot of bother since then and had to answer many questions from the officials and their fans after the controversial collision. Unfortunately, Don Henderson who was hit from behind by Dennis Wideman will miss the rest of the season due to concussion. According to my point of view, I think it wasn’t intentional at all.

The Forum is disturbingly empty: just a few players sit quietly cocooned away in a dressing room; twenty-five or thirty staff work in distant upstairs offices; throughout the rest of its vast insides a few dozen men are busy washing, painting, fixing, tidying things up. There is one other person. Entering the corridor to the dressing room, I hear muffed, reverberating sounds from the ice, and before I can see who it is, I know it's Lafleur. Like a kid on a backyard rink, he skates by himself many minutes before anyone joins him, shooting pucks easily off the boards, watching them rebound, moving skates and gloved hands wherever his inventive instincts direct them to go. Here, far from the expedience of a game,

Silence intoxicated the stadium as Patrice Bergeron glided to the face-off dot against Nazem Kadri. Tension was so thick that you could cut it with a knife. Above, the massive scoreboard read 1-1, which was way too close for comfort. The ref then took a brief glance, analyzing the positions of each player, to ensure they were in their correct positions. He blasted the whistle and the game was on. Next, the puck was dropped in a sudden motion, keeping it remaining completely horizontal the whole way down until it was swiped at rapidly by the Men’s sticks. For me, it felt so surreal to be at the Air Canada Center, observing the action with my own very eyes. In front of me, were the very players I’ve dreamed of witnessing all my life. I could

New rules that are implemented resulting in less penalty minutes for aggressive play (Mick). These rules are extremely important in youth hockey, bantams especially. The bantam age group is the age most boys start growing and get more muscular and more prone to aggressive play. This can cause tremendous injury to a player if one does not think before he hits another player. Many of the players do not understand how dangerous these acts really can be. The human body is not invincible, although many think they are. The increase of body checking rules has decreased the injuries that usually come from these hits about three to twelve times lower. Fifteen percent of the injuries resulting from a body check are concussions (Mick). Concussions are

Cleats offer ankle support to minimize rolled or broken ankles. Many penalties are called to make lacrosse as safe as possible. Checks, which are performed when one player hits another player with their stick, are supposed be controlled and well placed. If a player fails to do this they might get a penalty and they will sit on the sidelines for a set amount of time. New rules are added to the game to make it safer and more fun.

The learning key point that I took out of this court case was to be sure the facilities are always properly cleaned in a timely manner to be sure the environment meets health and safety codes. The investment in maintaining facility not only clean, but organized and safe is critical in minimizing any future risk of being sued by a member. Regardless of any waivers, it is important to know whether the waiver is can even be enforced in which ever state the facility is located. Not only would having the facilities clean and safe make it better to minimize risk of being sued but it will also be better for the company to have a good reputation on cleanliness and aesthetically pleasing environment. Especially as an aspiring soccer coach who is looking to start my own soccer academy athletic club for low income communities I need to be sure I’m providing a safe and clean environment for those who are less likely to have any health insurance. As

Hockey has been an important sport in Canadian history. It has helped shape the identity of Canadians. Fighting has become an integral part of this widely popular game. Many spectators enjoy the aggressive behavior in the game and attend game for the excitement that fighting brings. The National Hockey League (NHL) should change the rules in regards to the penalty for fighting to become stricter to protect the players.

Research Report For many years the game of hockey was always played on ice with a frozen rubber puck, but why do they clean the ice between periods? Does the ice develop a force that slows or even stops the puck, like friction? Friction and other physics can help explain the movement, speed, and distance a puck will travel not only on ice but also other surfaces hockey is played on today.

Another rule of ice hockey is icing, this is when a player shoots the puck from one end of the ice to the other end and no one touches it. In roller hockey there is no rule for icing; instead players are allowed to dump the puck from one end of the floor to the other. Both sports do enforce the same penalties though. For example, both ice and roller hockey referees will call penalties for tripping, slashing, roughing, etc.

2. A faceoff starts each period of the game, and takes place after every goal. Depending on if you are male or female, the faceoff is different.

Football is a contact sport that many people love. It is aggressive and dangerous. That’s why the NFL have made new rules to help protect the football players. Targeting is where you purposefully hit an opponent with the crown of your helmet. Now in the NFL, you can get ejected from the game if you are called for a targeting foul. The rule of targeting in the NFL was implemented to stop head injuries.

LAW 6 - Linesmen-Two linesmen help the referee in the center of the field. They signal when a foul is committed the center ref may have missed. They also signal when a ball has gone out of bounds. The linesmen stay even with the back line to watch for offsides.

1. Present an example of issue in media and sport. Relate information from the lesson to your example. The issue of media in sports that I found very interesting was the difference between sports journalist and broadcaster. These two seem like they are very similar, but in fact they are very different and very gray. As stated in the videos when the individual is doing anything that might be to their advantage they will state that they are a journalist, but when they made a mistake or anything they will say they were commentating or broadcasting. The problem is who is supposedly fact checking and “sports news” and who is strictly there for entertainment.
