Seattle Seahawks fans cheer
Seattle NFL fans break records, eardrums as world's loudest crowd


That rumble you heard coming from the Pacific Northwest on Sunday wasn't an earthquake, windstorm or other natural disaster. It was the 68,000-plus fans at Seattle's CenturyLink Field, setting a Guinness World Record for being the loudest-ever crowd. With just over a minute left in the first quarter of the Seahawks game against the 49ers, the roar from the stands registered at 131.9 decibels, which is almost as loud as a Boeing 747. (In the fourth quarter, the crowd unofficially broke its shiny new record, reaching an ear-melting 136.6 decibels.) The buzzkillers at NBC News Health more or less said, "What exactly is the point?," offering a study that says that the home team doesn't really benefit from all of that shouting. It did yesterday, though: The 'Hawks destroyed San Francisco 29-3.

I have to mail a check to Adrian in California, the 49er fans as my Packers lost the game. Good game and close until the fourth quarter.

The game before it was an amazing game from start to finish, Broncos versus Ravens. I dislike both of them, but it was a great game. Since I was in Denver while it was played, it was not a happy time for the home team fans when the final score occured.

Universal Eyes: All (most of them) above mentioned hockey skills are measurable. So, it is possible to measure and compare each player performance with others. It makes much easier to find out weaknesses and reasons of those.

tedbarber: Hockey skills are building element of every player's performance - overall hockey player's performance and quality depends on 3 major parts, which are mutually related.

It is hockey skills, condition and mental strength.

This, above mentioned statement, is very efficient to have always on your mind while practicing or coaching any of many skills.

Ice hockey is builded from huge number of different skills and techniques. We divide them into several major categories and many subcategories:

But one more time, all of them are based on:

* speed
* agility
* strength
* endurance

SKATING

* forward
* backward
* crossover forward
* crossover backward
* stops
* turns
* stopped turn
* start
o straight
o side
* turn-round
* from forward to backward
* from backward to forward

STICK-HANDLING

* dribbling
o short
o wide
o front of the body/aside of the body
* tricks
* stick-checking
o poke-check
o block stick
o lift opponent stick
o laying stick on a ice

SKATING WITH PUCK

* a stick in one hand
* a stick in two hands

All (most of them) above mentioned hockey skills are measurable. So, it is possible to measure and compare each player performance with others. It makes much easier to find out weaknesses and reasons of those.
SHOOTING

* forehand
o wrist shot
+ short
+ long
o snap shot
o slap shot
o aerial high
* backhand
* one timer or one touch shot
* deflection

BLOCKING A SHOT

* standing position
* on one knee
* on both knees
* laying to the shot

PASSING

* forehand/backhand
o wrist
o snap
o flip pass
o one timer or one touch pass
o aerial high pass
* by skate kick
* drop pass

TAKING A PASS

* pulling
* "hard"
* by skate
* by hand

BODY-CHECKING
There is pointless to divide body-checking into some categories, for example by part of the body used for checking, however we can find different ways how to use a body-checking according different game situations.
GAME HOCKEY SKILLS

* Offense

o 1 on 1
There are many ways how to play this situation. It depends on individual player and particular game situation.
o 2 on 1
o 3 on 1
o 3 on 2
o 2 on 2

* Defense

o 1 on 1
There are many ways how to play this situation. It depends on individual player and particular game situation.
o 1 on 2
o 1 on 3
o 2 on 3
o 2 on 2

break outs
middle zone offense
offense zone
fore-checking
middle zone defense
defense zone

Power play

* 5 on 4
* 5 on 3
* 4 on 3
* 6 on 5 and 6 on 4 (playing without goalie)

Penalty Killing

* 4 on 5
* 3 on 5
* 3 on 4

CLASSICS HOCKEY GAME SITUATION
Over-numbering
Doubling

Stan Mikita, Bobby Hull, Denis Savard, Larry Robinson, Paul Coffey, and maybe a hundred more? , remember the era these all played in, I seen a lot of these guys play, Ovechkin has a long way to go yet... oh and silly me , I almost forgot Bobby Orr...and all the great Goalies... Ken Dryden being among the best I ever seen

Ice hockey takes more natural skill than any sport; and played properly is a pleasure to behold. A hockey player must be able to ice skate extremely well, control the puck without actually looking at it, be in top physical condition, shoot with skill, pass with skill, stick handle, check,and be a team player. He must also be able to absorb punishment and dish it out if necessary. Goalies require even more skill; including intense concentration and agility. No other sport requires these many skills. So to name a basketball player as the greatest athlete of all time is a ridiculous joke!!!
