Hockey League, surprising, wonderful... an example to follow |
|
How far we are from this sport, how far it is for Mexico and its inhabitants to be able to practice a traditionally winter sport like hockey and at the same time enjoy the final matches of this League that combines emotion, athleticism, traditional teams, great players. , epic stories and a tradition of almost 100 years. A League created in Canada in 1917 , but which quickly moved to the United States, now having 30 teams, 23 of which are American and 7 from the founding country. The previous week, the Semifinals of each conference were held to win one winner per side. These winners will face each other in a Grand Final and will seek to win the oldest sports Trophy in the history of the United States, the “Stanley Cup.” , a competition system very similar to that of the Baseball or Basketball Leagues in the US. stanley Cup These days, I have had the opportunity to watch matches of a sport that I did not follow in the slightest and to my surprise I found a very fun game. In these matches, each player gives their all, they run up and down the ice rink at high speed, always taking care not to fall offside - a rule similar to that of soccer - and trying to create space between the defenders and the goalkeeper. rivals to be able to take a shot and have it enter the goal.
The effort of the players is such that there is Phone Number List no limit to the changes in each game, so a man can come and go as his physical condition and team strategy allow. In this sport, speed, toughness, strength, skill, resistance are imperative since based on these characteristics you can undermine the opponent, in addition to your aim, since scoring a goal between so many arms and legs of defenders and midfielders and at the same time In the end, a goalkeeper equipped with two huge gloves (one in the shape of a shield to block and the other to grab) and a stick, there are very few spaces where the puck (puck) can be put and in this way score a goal. This year the Final will be played by the Boston Bruins , the oldest hockey team formed in the United States and that will seek its 7th Stanley Cup, against the Chicago Blackhawks , a team that would seek its 5th Cup, promising to be a great final in the that the Champion must win 4 of 7 possible matches, starting today, Wednesday in the graceful City of Chicago. blackhawksBoston_Bruins_logo But not everything is wonderful in this League, since in this world in which the words inclusion, racism, discrimination , among many others, help us to be clearer about the level of social responsibility that we must have as individuals and members of some league, team, etc., play an increasingly predominant role and it is striking that of the 4 most relevant teams (those that played in the semifinals) there is not a single African, Latin, Asian player and very few from Western Europe.
It is incredible that in this globalized world in which in almost any company we can have colleagues who are Spanish, Argentinian, Chilean, Indian, Japanese, among many other races, in this sport we do not find it; and if we compare with other leagues such as the NFL, NBA, MLS and even the MLB we can find much greater inclusion of players of different nationalities and races. One reason why this phenomenon may occur is that it is a sport that is practiced mainly in Canada, the Northeast of the United States and some countries in Central and Eastern Europe and therefore the players are from these areas, although it would be a very poor to argue the reason for this situation; It may also be that universities do not practice it by students from other countries because the required level of ice skating must be very high and this cannot be achieved if there is not a base of many years to achieve it. Whatever the reason, it seems incredible to me that this is part of our reality. Another point that I think this league should not be proud of is one of its rules that allows rival players to fight in the middle of a game and the worst thing is that the game is suspended until this fight is over. conclude, the punishment being that the players go to the “freezer” for 5 minutes. Removing puritanism or the idea of whether or not beatings should have a place in a show of this magnitude, it is not as if these behaviors, as well as their permissiveness, are the best examples for children and youth.
