Copyright © 2012, Richard Ivey School of Business Foundation Version: 2012-02-13 In early 2011, the senior executives of Sher-Wood Hockey (Sher-Wood), the venerable Canadian hockey stick manufacturer, were pondering whether to move the remaining high-end composite hockey and goalie stick production to its suppliers in China. Sher-Wood had been losing market share for its high-priced, high-end, one-piece composite sticks as retail prices continued to fall. Would outsourcing the production of the iconic Canadian-made hockey sticks to China help Sher-Wood to...

...Brandon Matott Violence in Hockey High school is a time filled with drastic change and many choices to be made. During this time, many students will choose to play a high school sport, a very popular one being ice hockey. It’s no secret that hockey is a physical sport, and this is why many teenage boys are attracted to it. Typically though, a student who chooses to play ice hockey at the high school level is not new to the game. In most cases they began the game at an age of any where from 5 to 9, and soon after started participating in travel leagues that compete in as many as 100 games per season (Burge). As a direct result of the intense lifestyle players are forced to adapt to at such a young age, one of two things will happen; either a ‘burnout’ occurs and a total loss of interest for the sport takes over, or an intense life-long love for it develops (Burge); this love is often shared with parents and fans as well. As a player matures and begins to play in more high-caliber leagues, the physicality and hectic atmosphere of the games increase. This, like any physical sport does often present the scenario of fisticuffs and other unnecessary violence, but it has been confirmed that hockey does have the most fights out of any major sport (SingerNet). While teams frequently are involved in violence on the ice, it is not completely unheard of to hear of fans participating in violence in the stands as well; especially in non professional levels of hockey where a large majority of...

...An essay – as seen through the eyes of a graduating High School senior, on how his ice hockey experiences have been of value to his life. By Max Frankel Sometimes you come across a quote that is so timeless, that is continues to speak out era after era, for generations. As Charles Dickens’ once said, most-likely commenting on his own personal life, in, “A Tale of Two Cities. ‘It was the best of times and it was the worst of times.’ Although my ordinary life may not really compare to that of the famous author, I understand what he was saying and feel compelled to draw the comparison. To this point, I have had a life that I have thoroughly enjoyed yet I too, have had my share of difficult lessons learned. As with all people, my early, formative years have contributed many, many factors that shaped the child into a young adult. However, only a very select few, really stand out. For me, the “stand outs” have been ice hockey, my mentality in school, and my parents’ influence on my life. Maybe not necessarily in that order, but, the line is blurred, between where one influence begins and the next one picks up. What I do know, is that alone, these three components are neither life changing nor rare, but together, they accumulate to form who I am today. From a young age, my parents had engrained the idea of hard work into my mind. They preached that school was my priority, my full time job, and that “any job worth doing was worth doing right.” Even as a very small...

...Since most hockey players devote their times and energy to be ready for the game after several practices of body checking, if it is forbidden, their aspiration will be useless. For instance, the mother of four sons, Katherine Devlin reports,“ her 10-year-old son Sean was “devastated.” Sean had been preparing for his first hockey season with body checking” (Feschuk, Dave 2013). The chance of getting harmed will be lessen while having full of equipment on the body. To be clear, Devlin describes, “And I would prefer they’re out on the schoolyard or in a park or in my living room, for that matter” (Feschuk, 2013). This quotation clearly demonstrates how parents truly believe in body checking. However, Devlin forgot that Helmet couldn’t protect children from getting brain damage. As an illustration, Cherry utters, “Brains are delicate, and they run our bodies and minds. When they are flung around inside the skull, which is weirdly enough rough on the inside, they don’t do too well” (The Huffington Post, 2013). Not only is body checking prevention, but one of the skills. Devlin points out that “ I saw my son’s team using hitting as just another skill” (Feschuk, 2013). Despite to the expectation and safety for the game, Mokrzynski argues that “ If Peewee coaches don’t have to teach body checking, they will be able to “spend more time and effort on making them better players” (Bergsma, 2013). In this case, he doesn’t have a specific data to support his arguments how the ban can have...

Teacher/s or supervisor/s Mika Vähälummukka, Kari Savolainen With the advancement of digital video and computer technology over the past ten years there has been a considerable increase noted in the use of video analysis as a coaching tool in ice hockey. This has been especially noted in the greater Montreal area of Canada, where coaches are often under pressure to develop emerging talented players who aspire to a pro hockey career. The purpose of this research was to investigate how much performance analysis through video was being used and what it was being used for. The focus area was on amateur teams from midget level through to college and junior pro, such as the QMJHL.

...Walking down the street in the summer was the best feeling. Chris and John loved being free and not having to worry about school. Every summer John and Chris would play roller hockey at the rink. They would wake up at 12:00 play hockey and have lunch then go home and rest for the night to come. Every night was the same, hanging out by the fire with all of their friends and some girls. The town never had anything to do anyways. Chris just built the fire pit he sat down and opened a bud light. With his feet up he drank 3 beers in 15 min. he wasn’t the skinniest of kids on the hockey team but he was still one of the best. His weight helped him rough people up. Chris loved to drink beers with the team after the games and then call up all of his girls. For some reason they couldn’t resist him even though he wasn’t the skinniest on the team. He was seen as a bruiser. Everyone thought of him as the kid who put someone through the glass. Everyone knew of that time he got with 8 girls in one night one after another. He had a lot of friends because he was fun to be around. At lunch he is always sitting with a large group of people. When Chris was younger he would always get teased for being fat. When he got older he got skinnier and worked out. His parents were strict so when he got the chance to go out and drink he took advantage of it. There was that one day, John was on Facebook and got invited to some large party in the center of town. They were curious to what it could be since...

...Sports have played a major part in my life. They mean so much to me because they have given me the chance to build relationships with teammates and competitors. Playing sports made me realize that win or lose, if I had worked my hardest I was happy with myself. I like to play sports because they give me time to focus on training, which relieves stress and keeps me fit. I like to play soccer and ice hockey because I learn to work with a team. Individual sports such as track and dancing have given me the confidence to perform successfully in front of people. I have benefited by playing many different sports. In soccer, I understood that the harder I worked the better I got. In ice hockey it was a very different understanding. My hockey team was the first girls team to be formed in the Winslow area, and the team started with kids who could barely skate. With positive attitudes from both the coaches and the players, we built the team up for a successful winning season. The winning wasn't only against other teams but also within ourselves because we had the positive attitudes to get where we were. School work is especially important during sports seasons. Keeping up my grades is important to me. Playing sports and having good grades make me happy because I feel that if I can succeed in both school and athletics, I can also have a successful future. My family is another key factor in my sports success since they have always supported me in every type of sports and activity. If...

...Waiting, yearning, glaring at center circle, Anxious for the drop of the first puck. He blows the whistle as his hand explodes upward Everyone frozen in place Not daring to make any rapid motion. The puck is dropped. There is a burst of movement, As everyone propels in diverse directions, Like bulls being let out of their pen. The moment we've all been waiting for, the game has begun. The connotative language used in the poem, "The Drop of the First Puck", explained what was happening in such a way that produced a mental image for the reader of what the author was going through. When chosing the words to use to describe certain events or objects, much thought was put in to build a desired reaction. With the use of words such as, "march" and "explodes", that contain the same associations as "walked" or "was put up", the reader would compair the hockey game to such a thing as a battlefield. This may achieve an effect of the reader conjuring a deeper appreciation for the game through past experiences. Which would in turn make for a more interesting mental image. However, there were more techniques that were used to evoke a certain reaction of the reader. The use of the simile, "everyone propels in diverse directions, like bulls being let out of their pen." compairs the players movements as sparatic as that of a bull. This helps the reader obtain a true sense of the appearance of each maneuver. Drawing a picture in their minds of in alternative directions when the whistle...
