Bungie Jumping. Sky Diving. Rafting. Amusement Park Rides. There is an energy rush that comes with adrenalin. At times our regular schedule leaves us craving a jolt on the weekend. For many adrenalin junkies we spice up our mundane schedule by adding chaos which triggers daily doses of energy from adrenalin instead of finding more meaningful work and healthy energy sources.

“Life changed after that jump…I’d suddenly stepped to the highest level of daring, a level above even that which airplane pilots could attain.” Charles Lindbergh, describing his first skydive, US aviator (1902 – 1974)

When I was in 2nd grade my dad taught me how to fly an airplane, no landing or take off, just in the air. When I was 10 my dad taught me to drive sand rails (or dune buggies). He taught me to race and beat his friends then advised me to “act like a lady” when I got out of the car. I really want to try sky diving, but I have to say no since I am now a single mom.

There is a fun side to adrenalin.

For those of us with the soul of a daredevil, but the responsibilities of a single mom, adding adrenalin to our daily lives can seem to meet our needs. As we rush from place to place, solving all problems, leading a work team, and washing lacrosse uniforms our busy-ness gives us a charge of adrenalin. It feels good to get so much done, to be so valued, to be SUPERWOMAN… until we hit the wall or get sick. It is at this point that we have to admit the adrenalin charges from our chaotic lives can not possibly be as much fun as jumping out of an airplane.

We learn that finding meaningful work and healthy energy sources during the week is far healthier.

We learn that finding the adrenalin jolt on the weekend is far more fulfilling.

Ice Hockey Statistics $19.99 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Penalty, Tie, Goal, Plus-Minus, Shot on Goal, Point, Assist, Goals Against Average, Shot Quality, List of Top Goal Scorers in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, Save Percentage. Excerpt: In ice hockey , an assist is attributed to up to two players of the scoring team who shot, passed or deflected the puck towards the scoring teammate, or touched it in any other way which enabled the goal , meaning that they were “assisting” in the goal. There can be a maximum of two assists per goal. The assists will be awarded in the order of play, with the last player to pass the puck to the goal scorer getting the primary assist and the player who passed it to the primary assister getting the secondary assist. If a player scores off of a rebound given up by a goaltender , assists are still awarded, as long as there is no re-possession by that goaltender, meaning he or she did not have complete control of the puck.If a player passes the puck to another player who then completes a give-and-go with a different player for a goal, the player who made the pass that set up the goal gets a primary assist, while the player who passed to the eventual goal scorer before the give-and-go took place gets the secondary assist.If a team has possession and then loses possession to a player who then scores, there are no assists on the goal and therefore the goal is counted as “unassisted”.Players who gain an assist will get one point added to their player statistics. Players’ assist totals and goal totals make up their point totals.See also (online edition) Websites (URLs online) A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at Goals against average (GAA ) is a statistic used in ice hockey , water polo , lacrosse , and soccer that is the mean of goals allowed per game by a goaltender .

Motivation in sport: Bridging historical and contemporary theory through a qualitative approach. $69 From intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to attributions and goal orientation, theory and study related to motivation in sport abound. However, theorists such as Adler (Adler, 1998), Frankl (1984), and Maslow (Maslow, 1962) detail broader motivational frameworks that focus on a human impulse to derive meaning and purpose by extending beyond the self. While such theories take prominent positions within psychology, there applicability to sport has seemingly been overlooked. In an effort to explore more traditional motivational constructs in sport, a qualitative analysis of elite lacrosse coaches (n=7) was conducted. Through semi-structured interviews, coaches shared their motivation to coach and how they motivate others. In these interviews coaches articulated a number of motivational constructs that extend beyond much of the contemporary theory. In analyzing these interviews, it is apparent that further work related to broader motivational constructs may be required to more wholly define motivation in sport.

Excerpt: Édouard Charles “Newsy” Lalonde (October 31, 1887, Cornwall, Ontario November 21, 1970) was a Canadian professional ice hockey forward in the National Hockey League (NHL) and a professional lacrosse player, regarded as one of hockey’s and lacrosse’s greatest players of the first half of the 20th century and one of sport’s most colourful characters. He played for the Montreal Canadiens — considered to be the original “Flying Frenchman” — in the National Hockey Association and the NHL. He also played for the WCHL’s Saskatoon Sheiks. Before playing professional ice hockey, he worked in a newspaper plant, where he acquired the “Newsy” moniker. The image on the right is of Lalonde, in the 191011 season and the second version of the Montreal uniform; the “CH” sweater was still almost a decade away. In the 1904, Lalonde started his career with the Cornwall Victorias of the Federal Amateur Hockey League (FAHL). In 1905, he played for the Woodstock club of the Ontario Hockey Association Senior A League. Lalonde made the trek to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario in 1906 to play in the International Professional Hockey League, hockey’s first known professional league. In his one season in the Sault, he was named to the IHL Second All-Star Team. In 1907, Lalonde signed with the Toronto Professionals of the Ontario Professional Hockey League, and with linemates Bruce Ridpath and Wally Mercer led the “Torontos” to the league championship, losing the Cup in a tight match with the Montreal Wanderers in which Lalonde scored twice. 1910 saw the foundation of the National Hockey Association (NHA), precursor to the NHL, and Lalonde joined the Montreal Canadiens for their first season and indeed Lalonde scored the first-ever goal for the Montreal Canadiens.
