HIPSTERS BY: ETHAN LAYBOLT

Many don’t know who or what a hipster is, but they are

starting to show up everywhere. A hipster is a person

who starts a trend or uses them

before they become “mainstream.”

Taking trends of fashion, music and

other things before other people pick

them up. This gives them a feeling of

being unique and “cool”. Most

hipsters also tend to be jerks with

their better than you attitude. So

when you see your twelve year old

soon wearing glasses with no lenses,

pink

skinny

jeans

with a

hand knitted hat going

to school; wake up call.

With hipsters

becoming more and

more popular, there’s a

certain kind of irony isn’t there. If they become

popular, will mainstream music and fashion become not

mainstream and start a cycle? With hipsters migrating

over to P.E.I, here are some tips to look out for them.

They prefer to migrate around coffee

shops and clothing stores that don’t sell

clothes that you’d let your daughter

wear to church.

They usually wear ironic eyewear like

glasses without lenses, oversized

glasses that nerds on the 70’s wouldn’t

wear and the colors could vary. Most

hipsters wear these with 20/20 vision

just because they can.

They usually wear ironic t-shirts like

cowboy shirts, plaid and anything

vintage. They also like to wear shirts

that have famous child shows on them

or even book covers.

They usually wear shoes they find in

ditches because it’s “old school”. So if

they smell like road kill, it’s a hipster.

Any rainbow or neon colored

headbands, bands, leggings, and don’t

forget weird piercings and plugs. Some

even put holes in their ears stretching

their ear lobes to extreme sizes. An

awkward thing to explain to your

grandson 30 years later.

They try to not match their clothes to

make it look like they don’t care.

Usually can’t tell if a boy or a girl, so if

you find them cute, maybe you should

give them a second glance just in case.

Typically listen to indie music which is a

genre of music that’s not very heard of.

Indie can sound however it likes but if

you never heard of it, it’s indie.

They talk in sarcasm and irony only.

Don’t talk for long or everything you

were talking about in the first place is

suddenly turned around.

Basically try to avoid anything with

glitter.

Since you know what they are you can avoid

them, protect your family from them and for

the better of everybody, stop the invasion of

hipsters.

The History of Progressive Rock

By: Ryan Snyder

Progressive Rock or Prog Rock originated in the United

Kingdom in the mid 60’s. It was further developed in

Germany, Italy and France. Prog Rock was a “British

attempt” to give greater artistic credibility to Rock

music. Prog Rock intended to “break” the boundaries

of traditional rock music by allowing bands to

experiment more with music. Prog Rock was very

popular in the mid 70’s with bands such as Pink Floyd,

Crimson King, Yes, Supertramp, Genesis and others.

Prog Rock has a few characteristics that make it, in my

opinion, much more enjoyable to listen to. Some of

these are: Form: Prog Rock Bands tried to avoid the

traditional verse-chorus form that defined so much of

the Rock bands of that time. They also had extended

instrumental sections that combined the more

traditional solo sections with the improvised solo’s of

Jazz. This is one thing that defined many Prog Rock

bands such as Rush, and Pink Floyd. Timbre: Early Prog

Rock bands expanded the timbre of traditional Rock

by adding instruments that were more characteristic

of Jazz or folk music such as: saxophones (Pink Floyd

was quite popular for this with songs like Money),

timpani, violin, flute. They also used electric

keyboards, synthesizers and other sound effects.

Melody and Harmony: Prog Rock bands, unlike classic

Rock, drew on inspiration from a wide range of genres

including classical, jazz, and later world music. Prog

Rock often replaced the electric guitar with more

complex instrumentation. It is also more likely to have

longer, developing passages instead of short, catchy

ones. Concept albums: Concept albums are albums

that are built around a story or a theme. Pink Floyd

made many concept albums that became quite

popular as well as Rush, with their latest album

Clockwork Angels. Lyrical Themes: Prog Rock tended

to avoid the traditional rock themes. Instead they

tended to write about more science fiction, social

commentary, literature Themes. For example Neil

Peart, in Rush’s’ early days, wrote about science

fiction and his own experiences and Roger Waters

wrote about social criticism.

The earliest Prog Rock bands were Pink Floyd,

Rush, Yes, Genesis, Caravan, King Crimson and many

others. Most of the first Prog rock bands were from

the U.K. but the genre was also becoming more

popular in other parts of Europe and also in parts of

North America. Progressive Rock’s popularity peaked

in the mid 70’s, when many Prog Rock artists regulary

topped reader polls and music charts. By this time

North America had several Prog Rock bands. Rush,

who formed in 1968, became a major band with many

if not all of their albums topping the charts. In 1974,

some of the most famous Prog Rock bands- Yes, King

Crimson, and Genesis- either stopped performing or

changed personnel. By the end of the 1970’s Prog

Rock declined in popularity. In the 80’s though,

Progressive Rock once again began to top the charts as

Rush came up with more and more albums that

became better and better over time.

Progessive Rock produced, and is still producing, some

of the biggest names in Rock history. They changed

Rock and Roll forever by introducing more influences.

Progressive Rock is probably the most famous Rock

genre.

NHL Statistics

Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin were both drafted first overall in the NHL draft and both started there career in there 2005-2006 season. Crosby has 609 points in only 434 games. He has 223 goals, and 386 assists. Ovechkin has 679 points, but he played more games then Crosby. He played 553 games. Ovechkin has 339 goals and 340 assists. Crosby has 90 points in the playoffs, and Ovechkin only has 59. Crosby has a better shooting percentage in regular season with a 15.1%, and Ovechkin with only 12%. Crosby also has a better shooting percentage in playoffs with a 15.6% and Ovechkin has a 12.2%. Crosby is also beating Ovechkin in point per game, 1.39 to 1.29. From these statistics, Crosby is the better player. He gets more points per game, and has a better shooting percentage then Ovechkin.

Awards

Throughout both their NHL careers, they have both won five awards. Crosby has won the Art Ross, Lester B. Pearson, Hart, Mark Messier Leadership, and the Rocket Richard. Ovechkin has won the Art Ross, Calder, Hart, Ted Lindsey, and the Rock Richard. They also both have both won a gold and silver at the World Jr. Championships. Crosby has won the Olympic Gold, scoring the winning goal in overtime, and he has won a Stanley Cup, Ovechkin winning neither. If you compare the awards they have won, again it goes to Crosby. They are pretty close, but Crosby has won the Stanley Cup, every kid or NHL players dream. He has won an Olympic gold, something else very special because that means you were the best in the world and opportunities like that don’t happen too often.

Head to Head

In 21 games versus the Capitals, Crosby has 35 points. Ovechkin has played 25 games and has 33 points against the Penguins. Playing against each other, Crosby has 26 points and Ovechkin only has 18. Sidney Crosby also has a better head to head record, getting more points against Ovechkin and he has more points in fewer games vs. the Capitals.

Overall

The advantage goes to Crosby. He's the best player in the league right now. He is better statistically, has had more success in the playoffs and Olympics, and he's made players around him better. Crosby has better NHL statistics, more awards and a better head to head record. Sidney Crosby is the best player in the league right now and is getting better every year.

2013 Red Rockets

450R The new 2013 450R is a totally redesigned

bike. They have completely redone this bike

over for 2013. They started with the

chassis/frame of the bike. They had made

the frame much lighter. The all-new twin-

spar aluminum was designed specifically for

the new forks on the 450. They have also

made it for this generation. The scrub

generation. They made it easier to pull

scrubs and whips by making the bike lighter

and centering the bikes mass. The new forks

on this bike to go with the chassis are a

game changer. There is now the new air fork

suspension. It makes the bike lighter and lets

you have much more precise tuning and

helps the feel of it. The 450’s have also

brought back the good old twin exhaust

mufflers. These are way shorter and are

tucked in more to center of the bikes mass.

The twin exhaust also contributes to the

power of this bike. Also the new six-spring

clutch helps make smoother shifting. The

new 450 is ready to elevate the performance

in 2013 with the most improvements of all

the new Honda’s.

The new Honda bikes are poised to

blow away the competition in 2013. With

the new Dunlop tires, the new lighter frames

and the new easy to use Unicam cylinder

head. These bikes will be at the top of there

classes in 2013.

The new 2013 Honda race bikes

are the new and improved winners for

2013. The brand new 2013 450R, the

250R and the small starter 150R. These

new bikes are poised to blow away the

competition.

250R

The new 250 is going to be tough to top

from 2012. In 2012 the Honda 250’s

won both of the Supercross Lites

Championships. Like the 450 they have

also made a lighter aluminum frame.

The new twin-spar aluminum frame.

Also they have revised and recalibrated

the fuel injection settings to give it more

response off the throttle. By Honda

putting the new Dunlop Geomax MX51

tires will give it the edge with better

traction and feel. We will have to see if

the Honda 250’s can repeat this year in

the Supercross Lites.

150R

The great starter bike, the 150R is a

small bike with big trophies. It might be

Honda’s smallest racing machine but it

has everything to win. With the new

Unicam cylinder head makes shifting

smooth, easy and faster. This is the

perfect bike for starting out.

Legends in Boarding Quinton Hayward

November 2012

The two biggest names in skateboarding in history are Chris Cole and Jaime Thomas. They both started skateboarding at a very young age. Chris stared skating when he was eight and Jaime stared when he was eleven. Now they are successful and they are both sponsored. The skate team Zero, sponsors them both. The truck company Thunder also sponsors them both too. The first Jamie Thomas model trucks came out in 1992. They both have shoes and skateboard decks modeled by Zero.

Some of the big highlights of Chris Cole’s career are that he landed a 360 flip down Wallenberg and he also won the Maloof Money cup. He also has been the skateboard magazine thrasher. He has been in a lot of the same skate videos as Jaime Thomas. They are both in skate one two and three. Jaime Thomas has done his for share of stuff in has career. He has been in all the zero videos and he was featured in Transworld magazine. One of the biggest millstones of his career was when he directed two toy machine videos. Chris Cole has won more contest then Jamie Thomas throughout there career. He has won first place at Wonka Free Ride Street Seattle, Kansas, and Glendale. He has so many awards so I wouldn’t be able to fit them all.

Chris Cole is the better skateboarder I think. He has won more awards and people like him more, and he is better known. He has been in more magazines, and video games. He is more popular then Jamie Thomas because he lands better and more difficult trick. They are the two best skateboarders in the world, and those are some reasons why.

NOV. 7TH

What are you looking for?

The question is what are you looking for? What type of hauling are you going to be doing? Those are all the questions you have to take into proportion when buying a truck. If you are a farmer hauling cattle then a diesel engine truck would be the best for you. The torque advantage of diesels is perfect for hauling heavy loads or going up steep inclines.

Because of the relatively high-compression ratio necessary to ignite the diesel fuel, a diesel makes all its torque and power low in the rev range.

Now if you are one of those people who use your truck around town and do not do much hauling a gas engine you be most ideal for you. Gas engine typically have more horsepower, while diesels have more torque. I am not saying that with a gas engine you can’t do any hauling. Just big loads will be very difficult for a gas. Fuel Economy

Diesel fuel has a higher density than gas fuel. Diesel engines are more efficient per gallon of fuel burned. Diesels also use about one third as much fuel at idle than gasoline units. Diesels usually get six to eight more MPG than smaller weight gas pickups. Over the life of a truck this advantage could be significant. Especially if driving a lot of miles. Because of the high-compression ratios and resulting high cylinder pressure in diesel engines, they must be built to withstand more punishment than gas engines. Beefed-up parts include a thicker block and cylinder heads and stronger connecting rods, pistons, crankshaft, and valves. These parts can be costly. As an example, if you want to upgrade a 2002 F-250 from the standard 5.4L V-8 to the 7.3L turbo diesel V-8, you're going to spend around $4800. However, to go from the 5.4L to the 6.8 L V-10 gasoline engines, the price is a more affordable at $600.

Different Models

Now I will talk about the different engine sizes, accessories, and what would be best for you. In Diesel engines they vary by the make of the truck. I will list off some of the ones for you. There are 6.0L, 6.6L, 6.3L, 6.7L, 7.0L and 7.3L. These are some of the more common engine sizes among diesel trucks. The higher size engine you go the more torque you will get. If you want to spend money on your diesel to make it look pretty, some accessories are chrome package, bull bar, roll bar, black out or some mud tires if you will be going through muddy or snowy terrain. The same goes for gas. You can get 4.6L, 4.8L, 5.0L, 5.4L, and 5.7L. These are also some popular engine sizes. You could get V6 or V8 also. If you are doing any bit of hauling a 5.0L and up truck will do the best. For example hauling a mid size camper with a 5.7L gas truck will be almost the same as a diesel.

Gas versus Electric

By: Ross MacDonald

Have you ever been driving down the road and

see a car plugged in? Well, this is becoming

more and more popular when buying a car.

Everyone wants a good alternative without

having to go to the pump everyday. People are

using electric cars more and more. Soon

everyone will have one.

Don’t get me wrong, gas is good to but let’s be

honest, I don’t want to pay the price at the

pump. With the new electric cars they have all

the features you’re used to in the gas cars but

there way more affordable over a long period of

time. The price for the 2013 Chevrolet Volt runs

about $41,000. They sell a car that has all the

same style but runs on gas for $17,130. With

the money you save on gas with the electric

car, it would basically pay for it self within

twelve years. Let’s say you spend three

hundred dollars a month on gas, multiply that

by a year. That’s $3600. Then multiply it by

twelve. That turns out to be $43,200. You try

and tell me you don’t want to save that much!

With most modern parking lots they have

charging stations. With the electric car you

would never have to pay to drive it.

Now let’s move onto the gas car. It has all the

same features of the electric car but it is way

cheaper in price. You might think you’re getting

a deal by paying so little but the gas money will

start to run out over a period of time. Even if

you happened to get the hybrid model, that still

doesn’t beat the electric car. Not even close.

Now with the electric car becoming a hot topic,

all the companies are trying to build the better

car. Which one is cheapest, reliable, and you

can’t forget safest. That’s all the factors that the

companies have to think about when making a

car. There is a big rivalry with Toyota and

Chevrolet. They both claim that the have the

best electric car.

The electric car Toyota sells is the Prius Hybrid.

It costs $35,700. It’s a little bit cheaper then the

Chevrolet. I did a comparison; they both have

five star safety rating. Both have the same

features as the gas models, and people seem

to like them more.

The winner of the electric battle is the Toyota. It

is cheaper and people seem to leave great

reviews about it. With all the facts I have given

about electric cars the gas models simply only

has one category they can compete in. Power!

The gas models of these cars have a

considerably larger amount of power.

When going to buy a car, buy the one that fits

your lifestyle the best. I’m sure you will be

pleased with the product you decide on.

November 2012 2 Strokes versus 4 Strokes

A lot of people may be

stuck with the question

what kind of bike do I get ?

What would be more

reliable? What's cheaper?

Well I'm here writing to

explain and help you make

the choice from a 2 stroke

or a 4 stoke. So what's

faster? This usually is a

big factor in buying bikes

when some people like the

thrill of the bike hitting the

power band and lifting the

front wheel pulling a

wheelie you would

What’s the Better Bike?

Prices…

The Two strokes are cheaper, but although they are cheaper they can also cost more money in the long run. What I mean is the two strokes can blow pistons as easy as anything and new parts. But as I say again They are cheaper in most things because if you blow the engine in your 4stroke you are into a lot of money to fix but say you blew a piston in a two stroke

probably want to invest in

a 2 stroke, If its more for a

family ride and on the trail

a 4 stroke two stroke

would be the better bike for

you. The two strokes are a

lot faster because they are

meant for a racing bike the

125cc 2 strokes are

actually not even a close

comparison to a 125cc 4

stroke in fact the two stoke

would be two to three

times more powerful.

you’d only be out two to four hundred dollars but a four stroke would be around 1000-1500 for

engine replacement. Then there is gas, of course as many people know 2 strokes take gas and oil mixed and that alone is really expensive but they run through a tank so easy because when you drive it hard hitting the power band it just drinks it. But the 4 strokes trail

bikes are very easy on gas they hardly burn anything and they hold a big tank, most four strokes you can drive three to four hours without running low on gas.

Common Questions? What’s faster?

What’s cheapest?

Most expensive?

What’s easiest to

find parts for ?

What burns the

most gas?

How it all Started…

The Formula One series got its ideas from the European grand prix. The name Formula: set of rules

which all participants and cars must meet. Formula One

started after World War II in 1946, with the first non-championship races being held that year. A number of

Grand Prix racing organizations had laid out rules for a

World Championship before the war, but due to the suspension of racing during the conflict, the World

Drivers' Championship was not formalized until 1947.

The first world championship race was held at Silverstone, United Kingdom in 1950.

Show Me the Money

It was cheaper to build a NASCAR vehicle but everyone knows the Formula car will destroy any NASCAR vehicle. A NASCAR can cost about $125,000 and to build a Formula 1 racer will cost about $7,400,000 .

Formula 1 or NASCAR

It depends on who you ask which on is better.

One car is very interesting and has more

action and the other one just has “there

making left turn oh look there making

another left turn”. If it was up to me I will

chose Formula 1 every time.

Trout Fishing The Red Leaves (902)-218-6071

Trout Fishing

Fishing Techniques

Trout fishing has been a

past time for people of

Northern America for

many years. The first

Trout Fishing reference

was in 1783 when

Alexander Mackenzie made

his epic first crossing over

the Northern America

continent. Rainbow Trout

are native to the drainages

of the pacific coast of

America. From Alaska to

Mexico and the waters of

the Pacific Ocean.

Bobber fishing is an old but still used trick for catching trout or any fish in

particular. The bobber can be used in the water on the line or just hung on the

line out of the water. The bobber moves which is how you know if you caught a

fish or not. The bobber will move with the fish if on the line in the water; if it’s on

the line out of water it will move up and down. This technique is most commonly

used to catch trout now a day’s.

Fly fishing is a different type of fishing

technique used to catch trout. To do Fly fishing

you have to constantly whip the line back and

for out of the water. You use a small little fly

for the bait. Most fish eat flies so they will be

attracted to the bait. Hopefully after you start

using this technique, you will catch a nice sized

trout for yourself.

In this picture, the man you see had just caught the trout he is holding in his hand. This man used a type of fishing called Fly Fishing.

there is a man named Jim

watches TV in the house.

Jim says “no one ever told

Animals

Animal cruelty is becoming more common in Zoo’s every year. Most people think that animals are safer in captivity, but it the complete opposite. They also think that once they get so old that they are sent back into the wild. Zoos don’t give the animals the space they need to grow and live a normal healthy life. Polar bears are given a million times less the space they need if they are being held at a Zoo or park while lions and cheetahs get 18,000 times less space then they need. A few years ago, at

Woburn Safari Park, they would keep their lions in extremely small indoor rooms for up to eighteen hours a day. They didn’t have room to eat or sleep, and some had signs of physical abuse. The first Zoo in Canada charged with animal cruelty was in 2006. In Aldergroove, British Columbia at the Vancouver Zoo, the zoo was charged and had accreditation taken away for not having proper housing for a nineteen month old hippo. Even though they had said and made promises to build an outdoor area for the hippo, it spent the duration of its life inside a small concrete pen. Since they kept it in a small area with barely any where for the hippo to swim, it hasn’t devolved properly. Because of this

she can not swim and will stand away from water when outside. Eventually, the zoo had to build a new facility for the hippo. The decision to keep the baby hippo there was because of

Zoos and Cruelty By Hannah MacDonald

the risk of moving her was too high. She could become more stressed and have even more serious problems. Since all this happened, the zoo has been trying to get another hippo.

This wasn’t the first time the Vancouver Zoo had been in trouble with Animal Right Organizations. There were two other reports, except this time the results were more major. Since 1983, four hippos have died. Two had died in their mid twenties, which isn’t even half of there life span in the wild. The other two died when the Zoo had built a frozen outdoor pond, which wasn’t up to standards and the ice had cracked.

ANIMALS

These bright marvelous colorful creatures are known throughout the world. Over thousands of species of these little critters roam our kingdom below. For some over four different colors appeal from, reds, yellows, purples, pinks, whites, greens, to even orange. They are so beautiful that no one can resist the sight.

The Body Structure of a Coral Fish

The typical body shape of a coral fish differs from most open water fish such as Marcel, cod, or halibut. Open water fish commonly have the body shape of a torpedo, which allows the fish to gain speed. With coral fish their body structures are built just like a flat pancake, on which you eat for breakfast. These so called fish are shaped so differently to allow them to make rapid turns and to stop quickly to avoid predators throughout their habitats.

The Habitat for a Coral Reef Fish

The coral reef is uniquely complex and colorful waving environments. These physical structures are ninety-nine percent different from the open water habitat. Reefs are like little villages while open water habitats put you in remind of a huge country such as Canada. With this being said it shouldn’t be surprising that many of these coral fish took on numerous adaptations to live throughout these habitats.

Adaptive Coloration

The most cool and bizarre adaptation of these fish are inhabiting the variety of the brilliant color patterns upon their skin. The reasoning behind the disoriented color patterns is that the patterns is that the patterns are intended to make predators confused and also used for species recognition, for mating season.

Coral Fish Feeding Types/Diets

When it comes to these little fellows diets, scientists categorize them into a few basic groups. These groups are based upon what the specie of fish likes to munch on. Feeding types between coral fish has been classified in many ways, but here are the most common four; Herbivores, planktivores, benthic carnivores and piscivores.

Puppy Mills and Animal Abuse What is a Puppy Mill? A Puppy Mill is a large breeding operation in which puppies are mass-produced for profit in substandard conditions. The goal of a Puppy Mill is to produce as many puppies as possible with little cost to, and a lot of financial gain for, the operator. A Puppy Mill cannot and will not meet the needs of a dog and is most definitely another form of animal cruelty. Puppy Mills are a multimillion dollar business in Canada. Surprisingly at least 90 percent of pet store puppies come from Puppy Mills. Pet stores are not the only place where Puppy Mill pups are sold. They are also sold through the internet, at flea markets, advertised in local newspapers and sometimes sold directly from the mil, although visitors are not usually allowed inside the Puppy Mills to see the conditions in which the dogs are kept. Puppy Mill pups are usually four to eight weeks of age when they are taken from their mothers and shipped a great distance (for as long as a week at the time) to pet stores throughout Canada and the US in overcrowded, dark and dirty trucks, crammed in crates with other puppies and without good food or water. The puppies are so young because they are so cute at this age and easier to sell, but they can also get diseases very easy because they have not received enough (if any) vaccinations. Animals from Puppy Mills are often infested with internal parasites and contagious diseases because of the poor hygiene conditions and lack of medical attention. The breeding dogs are often kept in cages with wired bottoms which can cause permanent damage to their feet. The dogs are

almost always kept in small cramped cages where they may not even be able to turn around or stand fully. Some dogs have even been found in dark closets or crates which have been permanently nailed shut. Cages are often stacked on top of each other allowing excrement and urine to flow down on top of the dogs and puppies below and there is little or no cleanup. All the characteristics are Puppy Mills are:

Insufficient Housing;

Overcrowding;

Lack of Sanitation;

Underfeeding;

Lack of Veterinary Care;

Cruelty;

Shady Breeding Practices;

Fraud.

What can you do? Some things you can do to stop Puppy Mills are to tell people what you know about Puppy Mills. Then tell them not to buy a dog in a pet store. Protest a store. There are groups all over the word that protest pet stores. You can start your own protest group and protest in your area. Put an ad in the newspapers in your area to educate people where you live. Print flyers and hand them out everywhere – businesses, post offices, libraries, grocery stores, colleges, and schools – everywhere where there is a public bulletin board. A good idea is to also take the flyers and put them on car windows at malls where there are pet stores selling puppies. Make sure you look around to see if there are any signs that say “no soliciting”. If there are then you should not go put your flyers on the cars but if there are no signs you can. It only takes a few minutes to put a flyer on a hundred cars and you can make a big difference. Put up a billboard in your area. Billboards can cost a lot but they are a great way to reach thousands of people. You can set up presentations at your school or community centers. Send out letters to all the puppy stores in your area that sell puppies and tell them that you will not be buying anything from them until they stop selling puppies. Also go to pet stores in your area, look at the puppies, note the conditions, ask to see the registration papers for the puppies and write down the name and address of the breeder and the broker.

. The Rush

One of the most common reasons for dangerous activities is the adrenaline rush. It is basic human nature to want to feel safe, but it is also normal for people to crave danger. Without taking risks, like dangerous sports, people understand that life would be boring. Most of the

time, the rush of adrenaline would be enough to get a person through a slow day at work or school. There was also scientific research suggesting that some people have a gene that is more sensitive and that is what draws them to high risk activities and sports. The term adrenaline junkie comes from somebody who does high risk activities or sports all

the time, just to get a rush.

Lifestyle

In some cases, people get into sports because of their environment. Hunter MacCallum, 17, of Texas got into bull riding because that’s what his father had done. If you grow up exposed to something like that, chances are you will get into some form of it. Also, if you grow up in a community that promotes certain activities, such as hockey or soccer, than you’ll probably get into those specific sports. The world is getting more intense, so people turn

to dangerous sports as an outlet. When doing that dangerous activity, you have to concentrate so it brings you away from stressful things. If you live a stressful life, you’re more likely to be attracted to a dangerous sport.

For the Love Of It

More often than not, people do high risk sports because they have found a love for it. Whether it’s the health benefits, or working in a team, if people enjoy an activity they will continue to do it no matter the risk.

There are many reasons why people throw themselves into danger in the form of sports but everybody has there own. Lifestyle, the rush and the love are just a few of the main reasons.

Skydiving. Extreme sport.

The Reasons

There are warning labels on everything, including the sports we play and enjoy. So, what exactly posses us to get on the back of a bull or get launched out of a plane 2 miles

up in the atmosphere? Well, everybody has there own reasons but some of the main reasons are the adrenaline rush, lifestyle choices and the love for certain aspects of the sport.

Eberle and Hall By: Ben Doucette

Junior Careers

Both Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall had successful junior careers. Jordan Eberle played in

the WHL, while Taylor Hall played in the OHL.

Taylor Hall was named OHL and CHL rookie of the year in his first year of junior in

2007/2008. He played with the Windsor Spitfires. Scoring 45 goals and 39 assists which

gave him 84 points. Hall led the Windsor Spitfires to two consecutive Memorial Cup

Championships. He was named MVP in both tournaments. He was chosen first round, first

overall by the Edmonton Oilers in 2010.

Jordan Eberle played with the Regina Pats in the WHL. He won CHL player of the year in

2010. He also won the Doc Seaman Trophy as the scholastic player of the year in 2008. He

was drafted in the first round 22nd overall to the Edmonton Oilers.

Both Eberle and Hall played for Team Canada in the World Junior Championships winning

silver and gold. Both players were very successful in the tournament. This is how people

recognized them and this is one of the main reasons why they were drafted so low.

Injuries

In Taylor Hall’s rookie season with the

Oilers he was one fight away from

getting a Gordie Howe hat trick when

he dropped the gloves. He dropped

awkwardly during the fight and

suffered a high ankle sprain that ended

his rookie season. He also took a

tumble during one of the warm-ups

and got a skate to the face which led to

30 stitches.

Jordan Eberle had more luck with the

injuries compared to Taylor Hall. He did

suffer a high ankle sprain similar to

Hall’s though. This only put him out for

13 games.

NHL Careers

Both boys have played very well so far in the NHL. They will grow up to be Hall of Famers. Both boys are playing in the AHL due to the lockout this year.

Congratulations to the students in 421

Writing for their contributions to our

first inquiry project of the year.

Please ensure that everyone shows

his/her parents/guardians our first

magazine and let them know that our

upcoming biography magazine will be

published in December.

Again, congratulations on a job well

done goes out to everyone.
