hockey

Abie Goldberry, a Quebec junior hockey player from the 1930's was hit by a puck while playing hockey, which ignited a set of matches that he had in his pocket. His uniform caught on fire and he was burned quite badly before the fire was put out. Amazingly, goalies in the National Hockey League played without masks until the year 1959. Bobby Carpenter was the first American player to score 50 goals in a season. ) Canada beat Denmark 47-0 at the 1949 world hockey championships. Early hockey games allowed as many as 30 players a side on the ice. Hockey pucks were originally made from frozen cow dung. One of the terms of Wayne Gretzky's final contract with the New York Rangers was two tickets for every event at New York's Madison Square Garden. Pucks hit by hockey sticks have reached speeds of up to 150 miles per hour. The Montreal Canadians hockey team has won the most Stanley Cups with 24. The Stanley Cup originally was only seven and a half inches high. The Toronto Maple Leafs used to be called the Toronto Arenas, then the St. Patricks and finally the Maple Leafs. The name hockey, as the organized game came to be known, has been attributed to the French word "hoquet" (shepherd's crook). Wendel Clark holds the record for the longest span between NHL All-Star appearances, with 13 years (1986-1999).
