Ice Hockey Canada

Chapter 1: Introduction

Ice hockey is a sport that is played between two teams of six players to skate on a track of ice. Skaters must run a disk of rubber (puck in English, French rondelle) with a long stick (stick in English, French baton) to try to score in the opponent's goal. In the end, the team has scored most goals wins. This variant of hockey is known for being a physical sport and players can do loads with the body on the opponent to try to wrest control of the disc, so they tend to be equipped with all kinds of protections. It is also one of the fastest games, because the disc friction and skates on the ice is minimal, and one of the few sports that allow players to make changes without limitation and without interrupting the game.

It was invented in the late nineteenth century Canada, where it is their national sport. In addition, it also has very popular in the United States, Sweden, Finland, Central Europe and Russia, and is even regarded as the main variant of hockey countries of the northern hemisphere cold climates. Its main international governing body is the International Federation of Hockey .Hockey Canada is the governing body of hockey in Canada and is a member of the International Federation of Ice Hockey (Potocan, 2006, 262).

The Hockey Canada priorities include: creating ways for player movement to facilitate flexibility within the game reflecting the needs of the modern player and family; finding new partnerships with private hockey programs "to provide the best development programs; working with sports schools and Canadian Interuniversity Sport, recognizing it as a critical part of a vision of the Canadian student/athlete alternative, with particular focus on female hockey. The modern organization, based in Calgary (with a sub-office in Ottawa) was established in July 1994 when the Canadian Hockey Association and the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (established 1914) merged. Many commentators still sometimes refer to Hockey Canada and the Canadian Hockey Association. The paper discusses the case analysis of ice Hockey Canada. It represents the federation background, and models that facilitate the analysis of the organization (Potocan, 2006, 262).
