Ice Hockey

What are some inequalities in ice hockey? ex. - social class, gender, race, etc.

What class gets the most or least from the sport?

Are any positions in the game regulated by class considerations?

Is the audience participation oriented by any race, income, class, or gender consideration?

How about the managers, head coaches, and owners of the teams...is there any inequality present?

What does it cost to participate?

What does it pay on all levels of the sport?


Some other inequalities may include race, gender, age, income, education, class structure.

As in any sport, the equipment is expensive, but most schools have groups that will assist or help raise money for the players.
Even the community will kick in.

Most hockey players I know in Canada, started in their own back yards, then moved on to skating ponds, then skating rinks.

Since it was primarily a cold weather sport, most everyone has played hockey,............. even all us girls.
As far as aggression, I think football, boxing and basketball
are pretty aggressive. We like to think of it as being focused and "dedicated".

Don't give me credit for this masterpiece, but here it is....An amazing collection of Ice Hockey Hits, goals and saves from the world's ...

I have been playing roller hockey for about 9 years. I am not amazing but I am pretty good. I was thinking about changing to ice hockey. I can Ice skate, i can't hockey stop though. Do you think it's worth it to change? Will it be like starting to learn how to play all over again? what do you think I should do, keep playing roller or start playing ice?

Definitely worth the change! I love ice hockey more than anything, even though I have played both. It just seems better, faster, harder, my opinion, but you might grow to share it. But ease into it. There will be some new things, it is a different element, but related in many ways, so if you have been playing for years, you will adapt fairly easily. After nine years you are definitely not a beginner, so it will not be totally brand new.
You make me laugh!! The stopping will come with a little time; it is really not as hard to pick up as you think. Plus you can get other players to show you, they might laugh at you at first, but it will most likely be good-natured and they will be happy to help if you ask for it. If you don’t want to ask, just watch them, I promise you will get it if you try. Have no fear. Make it your motto. ;)
I say that you pick you ice hockey while playing roller hockey less often if you can. If not, then give ice a go. You can always revert you know, so it is not a life or death decision. I think that you will enjoy ice as much at the very least or more. I know I did.

Good luck with your decision!

I play ice hockey.I am a right hand shooter.At witch wing should I play if i am a right hand shooter.

Your shooting hand has a little bit to do with what wing you'll want to play in. Obviously, as a right handed shooter it's obvious for you to shoot top right corner from the left wing as it allows you much more ease to position your shot towards the net. Therefore, most right handed shooters find a comfort in sticking with the left wing, but it's entirely up to your own personal liking.

I am writing a story and my characters (a teenage boy who is 17 and a teenage girl who is 17) both play high school ice hockey. The story is set in Minnesota at a high school where the main sport is ice hockey. I need to know when it starts and how long it goes for and when it ends. I really don't know a lot about ice hockey and so any other information will be good. I've played field hockey and so know how to play and the positions if they are the same. Thanks.

Well, I'm from the Western Canada. Practices have started, and games start in early January.
