GREAT MOMENTS

The Trail Through the Hockey Hall of FameALL A Hall Visit Activity: NHL Zone 1. Over his career, Wayne Gretzky won a great many honours for

his accomplishments on the ice. He received distinction for his character off the ice as well. Towards the end of his career, he received the highest award given to a Canadian. What was it? (Hint: Check the NHL Zone ‘Legends’ display)

_________________________________________________________ 2. Many young hockey players dream of the day they will get called

up to play in the NHL. While some players freeze under the pressure of their first game with the pros, others excel. In 1977, Philadelphia Flyers’ rookie defenseman Al Hill didn’t just excel, he broke records in his first-ever NHL game. What did Hill do? (Hint: Check the NHL Zone ‘Milestones’ display)

_________________________________________________________ 3. For some, hockey talent runs in the family. Martin Brodeur

followed in his father Denis’ footsteps by becoming a professional goalie. Gordie Howe played on the same team and same line as his two sons, Marty and Mark. Brett and his father Bobby Hull are known as one of the most successful father/son pairs in the NHL with their combined career statistics. In 1998, Brett recorded his 1000th NHL career point while wearing this jersey. What is significant of Brett’s reaching this ‘Milestone’? ______________________________________________________

Stanley Cup Odyssey 11. Winning The Stanley Cup is the highlight of every team’s success each

year. The trail to this endeavour requires hard work, endurance and dedication. With every team aimed towards the same goal, it becomes very difficult to achieve once let alone 3 or 4 times.

MEDIA LITERACY

Preamble: The media has conditioned Canadians as to the way they look at hockey. As a result, the game has now become a form of drama that manipulates the spectator with its suspense and excitement.

Pre-Visit Activity: The students will watch a hockey game without the sound and make up a play-by-play commentary. Students should consider the following questions:

How many voices will be used? Will music be used for a background? What kind of music will be used? Who will act as the sponsor?

HOCKEY HALL OF FAME EDUCATION PROGRAM English 1

Hall Visit Activity: Students will be required to visit the TSN/RDS Broadcast Zone and the Esso Theatre. The student should make note as to the language, tone and style that the various announcers bring to the game. Students are invited to call their own play-by-play of a famous goal. Recorded play-by-plays can even be e-mailed to the student’s personal e-mail address.

Post-Hall Visit Activity: Have students transcribe a section of hockey commentary and read it onto an audio tape in a normal voice rather than the excited voice everyone is accustomed to. They can then play the tape back and discuss the differences. Following the discussion, the students can rewrite or change other aspects of the soundtrack and re-record it. The class can discuss the impact on the listener/viewer as a result of the changes.

Media Literacy --- Communication

Get with the Program

Preamble: The evolution of the ‘‘souvenir’’ program has coincided with the growth of hockey. As hockey has become more progressive as a business/entertainment vehicle, so to has the program and its content. It is much more elaborate and informative today than ninety years ago. A hockey program from a 1917-18 game between the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Arenas differs greatly from the various programs displayed throughout the Hockey Hall of Fame (including those on display on the Detroit Olympia ‘‘ticket wicket’’ in the Grand Old Houses of Hockey Zone).

Hall Visit Activity: When you visit the Hockey Hall of Fame, in a group of 2-3 people, you will create a program for an ideal Hockey Hall of Fame game from two different eras. Select the starting line-ups from the two eras. (You will need to research some of the players on your rosters to create small biographies). What arena have you selected for the game? Why? Is there any specific player(s) you wish to feature in the program? Your program should have some advertising. Using the Hockey Hall of Fame Founding Sponsors, create some advertising.

Post-Hall Visit Activity: In order to create a program, many different people with various skills will be required to make a good production team. Many different career job types are required to team-up in a cumulative effort to produce a hockey program ------ journalism, photography, graphic design, sales/advertising, business management, language translator, etc. Though you are limited with hockey photos, try animation or sketch drawings (a familiar tactic in the 1920’s & 30’s). With your production team, piece together all aspects of the program and in your advertising, try to relate the sponsors of the program to your legendary game.


Post-Hall Extension Activity: Produce an eight to twelve-page program for your high school team(s) or local amateur team. Take into consideration all of the factors discussed in the Media Literacy section. P.S. Remember sponsors, advertisements, biographies, photos and special features in your program.

Post-Hall Visit Activities: Sport specific training:

Sport specific training allows a hockey player to take the components of aerobic, anaerobic, flexibility, strength and agility training and create drills which are directly related to the sport of hockey. When properly formulated, this dry land training should be able to simulate actions found in hockey without the necessity of having an ice surface. In a complete activity such as skating, the legs, arms, trunk and head all contribute to the efficiency of the motion. This efficiency can be improved with a hockey-specific exercise that helps the athlete practice the natural movements within the activity.

Create and develop five dry land exercises where the athlete can simulate actions found in hockey. What tips would you give to the athlete regarding this type of training? _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________

Hockey is a sport where anaerobic training is of great benefit. Hockey players can extend the length of time in which they can perform at such levels while playing close to their maximum heart rate. For example, players can condition themselves to keep on skating hard even through their legs are burning.


As a coach, how would your knowledge of each of these concepts help you better prepare your athletes? _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________

Other than factual knowledge about these systems, what other information must a coach take into account? _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________

Post-Hall Visit Activities: Extension Application 1. Provide a skill analysis of a hockey shot on videotape. Plan a

skill progression, a teaching session and a method for evaluating skill improvement.

2. Develop a training plan for your girls’ or boys’ varsity hockey

program. Provide athletes with information about limits, types of exercises and testing. Place plan in weight room with appropriate timeline for high school pre-season work and help athletes through progression and evaluation.

3. Visit a hockey practice. Based on the work-to-rest ratio for

hockey at the age level being viewed, determine if practice time on ice is efficient and if practice is preparing athletes to play at a game pace. What information must you also consider when making the evaluation? An interview with the coach will help you determine the goals of the practice viewed.

4. Complete an NCCP coaching course and report to the class the

value of program and preparation received. 5. Create a one month dry land training program for an 18-year-old

female hockey player.


LENGTHENING A CAREER

Pre-visit Activity: Professional sports are not generally designed for career longevity. Take a small population sample from each of the four major professional sports in North America and using the period from 1975 to present, determine the average length for each.

Sport Sample population

number Average length of career

Baseball

Basketball

Football

Hockey


The length of a hockey player’s career is influenced by a host of factors. When you visit the Hockey Hall of Fame, select an Honoured Member from each list and conduct a formal investigation into the length of their career. The information can be obtained from the computer terminals in the MCI Great Hall or the various displays and exhibits throughout the Hall.

A B

Jean Beliveau John Bower

Gordon Howe Aurele Joliat

Terry Sawchuk Larry Robinson Lionel Conacher

Irvine ‘‘Ace’’ Bailey

Mike Bossy Bill Durnan

Howie Morenz Bobby Orr Toe Blake

Bernie Parent

Your study should contain general career statistics, length of play, individual and team accomplishments.


Post-Hall Visit Activity: Note: Students may visit www.hhof.com for more information on the Honoured Member

Examine the route to the NHL. Was the player adept at other sports? Is there a connection between the other sports and hockey? What common characteristics do the other sports have that strengthen hockey skills? ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________

When did the player leave the game? Was it for his own reasons or was it dictated by external forces and declining productivity or physical demands? _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________

If the player was forced to leave the game because of a career- ending injury, examine the player’s career and recommend a series of activities or exercises that would help strengthen the weakened area that led to the decline. _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________

Extension Activity --- Group Work: Outside of the external factors such as a career-ending injury, examine the length (childhood, youth, adulthood and senior) of the average individual attempting to involve themselves in organized hockey from Pee Wee to the professional level of hockey. Select one area and answer these questions. What steps has the community taken to accommodate the needs of the individual lifecycle groups through programs and facility access? _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________


What rule modifications has been taken into account that allows this particular group to progress while participating in the organized game? _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________

Design a series of warm-up and developmental exercises for the particular group to ensure continued participation and injury-free play. _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________

SPORT IN SOCIETY

Grade 12 C

Preamble: Ideally, every community should provide its members with the opportunity to lead healthy, active lives. Study of this concept involves examining the relationship between sport and society.

Pre-visit Activity: Hockey has been a long-standing institution in Canada. Prior to your visit to the Hockey Hall of Fame, make notes on the sociological importance of the sport to Canadians. Specifically, focus on:

• the significance of hockey in Canadian lifestyles, including the impact of geographical factors;

• the reasons for the popularity of the sport that reflect the variety of participants in Canada;

• the motivators or inhibitors for participation;

• the influence of professional hockey on participation;

• the influence of the media on participation; and,

• the influence of ‘‘spectatorism’’ on hockey.

The ‘‘Origins of the Game’’ exhibit presents us with a view of the game in its earliest form. It also presents us with some reasons for the game evolving as it did. Answer the following questions to help you interpret the social climate of the time. Explain the importance of the game originating in Eastern Canada. _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________

Club teams such as the Montreal AAA and Montreal Victorias were representative of the social attitudes at that time. What social statements can be made given the nature of these clubs? _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ There are various images of women hockey players in the exhibit. Were these images typical of the time? Why? _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________

The large mural in this display depicts a game in Montreal’s Victoria rink. How important is this rink to the Canadian culture? What timely statements are being made in that image? _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________


The end of the 19th century marked the beginning of organized hockey leagues throughout Canada. This expansion later led to the development of hockey ‘‘communities’’; places such as Saskatoon, Peterborough and Red Deer are all representative of this. Consider the following questions:

Would there be a difference in attitudes towards the sport in smaller centres as opposed to urban centres? _____________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________

As you walk through the Hall, attempt to develop a picture of the ideal hockey community. What attitudes and values would be present in this community? Be sure to visit the Panasonic Hometown Hockey Team Photo Album and the NHL Zone ‘Legends’ Display. _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________

Maple Leaf Gardens is considered to be a ‘‘symbol’’ of a long standing ‘‘tradition’’ in the community. Despite the Great Depression of the 1930’s, Conn Smythe was able to build the ‘‘Carlton Street Cathedral’’ in only six months. How was he able to do this and how are those attitudes reflected in today’s Toronto? (Check Grand Old Houses of Hockey Zone) _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________

Hockey’s ‘‘Original Six’’ franchises have a long standing tradition of excellence. However, there have been other franchises that were not as fortunate. As you walk through the Hall, keep a list of franchises that have been unable to keep afloat. What were some of the possible reasons for their demise based on location, time period and drawing power? ________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________


As the game of hockey expands at various levels of international competition, the marquee attraction is still the National Hockey League. Examine the careers of the following Honoured Members and their effect on the cities and times they played in. 1. King Clancy_________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ 2. Ray Bourque ________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ 3. Gordie Howe ________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ 4.

How important is this program to the Canadian identity? _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ What did the broadcasting of hockey give to us as a nation, especially during the 1930’s and 1940’s? _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________

‘‘Spectatorism’’ is a concept that is clearly displayed in North America. How has this changed the game? Use the NHLPA Be a Player Zone and Spirit of Hockey retail store to back up your points. _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________


THE ARENA

Grade 12 OAC II

Preamble: From the smallest community to the international level, hockey has played a significant and constantly changing role in our cultural identity. As the game of hockey evolves and develops, so too must the environment in which it is played.

Hall Visit Activity: ‘‘November 12, 1931, the dream came true. Something had been built that became famous across Canada....’’ Conn Smythe Between the Grand Old Houses of Hockey display and the Montreal Canadiens’ Dressing Room, there are pictures of arena scenes from days gone by. Name five (5) things that stand out as being very different from the modern-day entertainment facilities. (Hint: for example, look at the time clock.) _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________

‘‘To you from failing hands we throw the torch, be yours to hold it high!’’ John McCrae, excerpt from ‘‘Flanders Fields’’

As the game became sophisticated, so too did the players. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the ‘‘Dressing Room’’ Zone. Compare the two Canadiens’ dressing rooms based on: a) how they maintain and clean equipment; b) game preparation; c) treatment of injuries; d) size; e) each player’s individual changing area; f) how the past is celebrated; g) anything to motivate players. _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________


Post-Hall Visit Activity: NHL hockey teams are finding that the older arenas no longer satisfy the needs of a competitive, contemporary professional organization. As a result, the traditional hockey arenas are being gradually replaced by larger, revenue-generating, state-of-the-art sports complexes. Determine the host city for your new club. Using a city street map, find a suitable location --- keeping in mind central areas. Design a unique, new arena for a new hockey club. In your design, consider: ice size access to dressing rooms audience size & distribution press boxes luxury boxes advertising parking and public washrooms

public relations ice maintenance services for players and fans handicapped patrons non-hockey functions atmosphere transportation

Examine the changes you have noticed from older rinks to new rinks. How have they adapted over the years and how do you anticipate further changes? _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ Go to any arena where hockey is played. Note the following:

1. Functions it was built for beyond hockey ____________________ ____________________________________________________________

2. Age of patrons ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________

3. Seating capacity __________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________

4. Dressing room size and provided services ___________________ ____________________________________________________________

Answers to English Questions Media Literacy --- Grade 10 Hall Visit Activity: The activity was designed to get the students to become familiar with different styles. The objective is to help students develop their own style and tone and recognize the different uses for those skills. Writing Process --- Grade 10 Hall Visit Activity: By applying the concept of the mythical hero to the Honoured Members, the students can connect the past with the present. Because of the numerous choices the student will make, it’s important to stress the application of the criteria to the player chosen. Media Literacy --- Grade 12 Hall Visit Activity: Answers will vary depending on the topic chosen. Emphasis is based on how well the students can justify the answers. Stress to the students the idea of community involvement, the sense of pride and ownership.

Language & Literacy Hall Visit Activity: The students will have various answers for this activity. Considering the fact that the assignment does focus on the elements of fiction, emphasize the need to see hockey as a story (i.e. what themes could be derived form Bobby Orr’s display? Excellence, perseverance, toughness, humility, etc.).


Answers to Geography Questions Several of the Geography questions are pre- and post-visits. The students should prepare themselves accordingly for this chapter. * Research is suggested for European countries and towns. Answers will vary based on the countries and towns selected by students. The overall emphasis is directed to how well the students can explain or justify their views. The answers to these questions are interpretative.

Answers to Business Questions Answers will vary in this section due to the subjective nature of the questions and assignments. The goal in this section is for students to gain a better understanding of the business aspects of the game of hockey; they will be given the opportunity to demonstrate their business knowledge in a creative manner. * Related business case studies are suggested pre-visit.

Answers to Math Questions The Real Stats on Mr. Hockey Depending on what sampling section of a decade is used - 1950-51 to 59-60 or 1949-50 to 1958-59 - the statistical values will vary. However, basing the argument solely on statistics solely, the data would favour the fifties. By having the students look at other forms of data such as personal and team accomplishments and more so the age factor; Gordie Howe was 52 years old while playing 80 games in the NHL, the answers will change. The assignment can serve two purposes: one --- examine the students’ use of statistical methods; and two --- utilizing statistical data to form arguments and questioning their validity with other forms of information --- non-empirical. With the other activities, this notion will be further developed and reinforced.


Answers to Phys Ed Questions Anaerobic Training: 1. This type of training involves short bursts of high-intensity

exercise with a short rest and recovery period between bouts. It allows the body to perform at a higher level of intensity for longer periods of time than usual.

2. The example given in the video is a stationary bike interval program featuring 30-second bursts followed by 90 seconds of active recovery.

3. This type of training is very strenuous, thus it should be used only after the aerobic base training program has progressed to the point where a good recovery between the short bursts can be attained.

Aerobic Training: 1. Aerobic training helps the heart muscle grow stronger, increases

lung capacity, and controls body weight. Results show improved performance due to increased ability to a quicker recovery.

2. The example given in the video is riding a stationary bike for 30 minutes at no greater than 60% to 80% of the Maximum Heart Rate. (220-Age)

3. Tips given are; don’t exceed the ‘target rate zone’ and sustain the activity at a consistent level for 15 - 20 minutes at first.

Flexibility Training: 1. Improving flexibility allows a hockey player to increase mobility

and helps prevent muscular injuries. When properly performed, flexibility training can remove stress on the joints and increase the range of motion.

2. The example given in the video is performing a front thigh stretch held for 20 seconds in a position of comfortable muscular pulling.

3. Stretching exercises should only be performed after a proper circulatory warm-up. Each stretch should be held for 20 seconds with no bouncing motion.


Strength Training: 1. This type of training allows hockey players to increase their

capability to sustain high workloads upon the major muscle groups of the body. The three areas in which the muscular performance of the body can be improved are: overall strength, power, and endurance. Muscle strength is the maximum amount of force that can be exerted by a muscle in a single effort, such as shooting a puck or pinning a player to the boards. Muscle power is the ability to use the strength of the whole muscular system explosively, through an entire movement such as during a bodycheck or slapshot. Muscular endurance is the ability to exert sub-maximum force for a prolonged period of time. This can help a hockey player skate hard every shift over the length of an entire game or wrestle for the puck in the corner during a long shift.

2. An example of strength training is leg extension curls, isolating on one leg at a time. The weight is set at a level in which the load can be lifted through the full range of motion.

3. Three tips given are: a) Muscle Strength --- In doing weight training to attain general strength, it is best to use a weight which allows you to perform between 6 and 12 repetitions over two to six sets for each exercise, with two to three minutes rest between sets. b) Muscle Power --- Can be improved through a weight training program in which a limited number of repetitions are performed at an explosive speed, with long periods of rest between sets. c) Muscle Endurance --- Interval training, combining long work sessions with short rest periods, is an effective way to improve muscle endurance. These can be done on- or off-ice, or using weights with high repetitions, at least twenty over three or more sets with short rests between sets.

Speed and Agility Training 1. This type of training is also known as plyometrics. 2. This type of training is useful as it contributes to muscle

development, but it is related to the speed at which certain activities are performed. Based on the ability of the muscles to respond to rapid stretching with forceful contractions, it is a reflex action that is commonly used in the send up phase of shooting a puck, for example. It is also an effective way to improve a player’s reaction time for such activities as taking face-offs, poke-checking and goaltending.

3. Two examples of this type of training are: 1) clap push ups for the chest and shoulders and 2) box jumps for the legs.


Sport in Society Hall Visit Activity: Some discussion should have taken place prior to the Hall visit. Although there may be more information at the student’s disposal, have the student focus on the pertinent information. Questions that deal with the social implication of the game being started in Eastern Canada, etc. are interpretive. The question about Maple Leaf Gardens as a ‘‘symbol’’ is another example of a purely open-ended question. The same applies to the ‘‘Original Six’’ question below it.
