Anytime anyone mentions Eminem I can't help but to think about the fact that it's such a tragedy that we lost him during a street hockey accident.

HOCKEY

Hockey

Hockey is a phrase that refers to a variety of summer and winter team games that developed on an outdoor field, sheet of ice, or dry floor, such as in a gymnasium.

There are many different types of hockey. Some games require skates, either wheeled or bladed, while others do not. To better distinguish between these numerous games, the word "hockey" is sometimes preceded by another word, such as "field hockey," or "ice hockey,"

In each of these sports, two teams compete by attempting to manoeuvre the object of play, which is either a type of ball or a disc into the opposing goal with a hockey stick.

In most of the world, the term "hockey" refers to field hockey, however in Canada, the United States, Russia, and the majority of Eastern and Northern Europe, it usually refers to ice hockey.

In recent times, the term "hockey" refers to both the summer stick-and-ball sport of field hockey and the winter ice team skating sports of bandy and ice hockey.

This is because field hockey and other stick and ball sports and their forms came before games played on ice with ice skates, such as bandy and ice hockey, as well as sports requiring dry floors such as roller hockey and floor hockey. The term "hockey" in common language is frequently determined by the location, geography, and the size and popularity of the sport in question.

History

 from around 600 BC in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens Games has been found that using bent sticks and a ball can be found in many cultures' histories.

for example :

Hurling dates back to before 1272 BC in Ireland

around 600 BC in Ancient Greece, where the game may have been called kerētízein or (κερητίζειν) since it was played with a horn or horn-like stick (kéras, κέρας).

For approximately 1,000 years, the Daur people of Inner Mongolia have played bikes, a game comparable to modern field hockey.

By the nineteenth century, the numerous forms and divisions of historical games had begun to separate and merge into the particular sports that we know today. Organizations devoted to the codification of rules and regulations arose, as did national and international bodies to manage the domestic and international competition.

Different types and variations of hockey

Bandy

Bandy is a sport that is played with a ball on a football pitch-sized ice arena (bandy rink), usually outside, and has several regulations that are similar to association football. It is a professional sport in Russia and Sweden. 

The IOC recognises the sport, and the Federation of Worldwide Bandy is its international regulating organisation.

Bandy originated in England in the nineteenth century, was originally known as "hockey on the ice," and expanded from England to other European nations around 1900; a comparable Russian sport can also be considered as a precursor,

Women's Bandy World Championships have been held since 2004, and Bandy World Championships have been held since 1957. Many countries have national club championships, and the top clubs in the world compete in the Bandy World Cup every year.

Field Hockey

Field hockey is played with a small, hard ball of 73 mm (2.9 in) in diameter on gravel, natural grass, or sand-based or water-based artificial turf.

In many parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Argentina, the game is popular among both males and females. In most nations, the game is played between single-sex teams, while mixed-sex teams can also compete. The International Hockey Federation, which has 126 members, is the governing organisation (FIH).

Except for 1912 and 1924, men's field hockey has been played at every Summer Olympic Games since 1908, while women's field hockey has been played since 1980.

Modern field hockey sticks are J-shaped, with a curved hook at the playing end, a flat surface on the playing side, and a curved surface on the backside, and are made of a composite of wood, glass fibre, or carbon fibre (sometimes both). Right-handed sticks are required; left-handed sticks are not authorised.

While field hockey as we know it now first originated in mid-eighteenth-century England, primarily in schools, it was not widely adopted until the first half of the nineteenth century. The first club was founded in Blackheath, south-east London, in 1849.

Pakistan's national sport is field hockey. It was India's national sport until August 2012, when the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports decided that India no longer has a national sport.

Ice hockey

Ice hockey is a sport in which two teams of skaters compete on a wide flat expanse of ice with a three-inch (76.2 mm) diameter vulcanised rubber disc known as a puck. Before high-level games, this puck is frequently frozen to reduce the amount of bouncing and friction on the ice. Ice hockey sticks are long L-shaped sticks made of wood, graphite, or composites with a bottom blade that may lay flat on the playing field when held upright and can legally curve in either direction for left- or right-handed players. 

The game is popular in North America, Europe, and many other nations throughout the world to varying degrees. In Canada, Finland, Latvia, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, it is the most popular sport. Ice hockey is Latvia's national sport and Canada's official winter sport.  

Ice hockey is played by people of all ages at various levels.

The International Ice Hockey Federation, which has 77 members, is the governing body of international play (IIHF).

Men's ice hockey has been a part of the Winter Olympics since 1924 and the Summer Olympics since 1920. In 1998, women's ice hockey was introduced to the Winter Olympics.

The National Hockey League (NHL) in North America is the most powerful professional ice hockey league in the world, attracting top ice hockey players from all over the world.

In many areas, the NHL rules differ slightly from those used in Olympic ice hockey. In the early 1900s, international ice hockey regulations were adapted from Canadian standards.

The modern sport arose in Canada as a result of European and indigenous influences. These included field hockey-style stick and ball sports, bandy, and other stick and ball games in which two teams push a ball or item back and forth using sticks.

Throughout the 19th century in England, they were playing outside on ice under the name "hockey," and much earlier under different titles. There are 24 reports of hockey-like games in the nineteenth century in Canada before 1875. (five of them using the name "hockey"). On March 3, 1875, six McGill University students participated in the first planned and recorded game of ice hockey, which was played in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Para ice hockey 

Ice sledge hockey, sometimes known as "para ice hockey," is a type of ice hockey created for players with lower-body limitations. Players sit on double-bladed sledges and use two sticks, one with a blade and the other with little picks. The sticks are used to pass, stickhandle, and shoot the puck, as well as push the sledges. The regulations are quite similar to those used in IIHF ice hockey. 

Canada is a renowned international pioneer in the creation of sledge hockey, and most of the sport's equipment, such as fibreglass-laminated sledge hockey sticks, aluminium shafts with hand-carved insert blades, and unique aluminium sledges with regulation skate blades, was created there initially.

Sledge hockey on inline skates

Inline sledge hockey is similar to inline puck hockey in that it is based on ice sledge hockey (essentially ice hockey is played off-ice using inline skates).

Unlike other team sports like wheelchair basketball and wheelchair rugby, there is no classification point system regulating who may play inline sledge hockey. Inline sledge hockey is being created so that anybody, with or without a disability, may compete at a world championship level based simply on aptitude and ability. [requires citation]

The Hull Stingrays and the Grimsby Redwings played the inaugural game of organised inline sledge hockey on December 19, 2009, in Bisley, England. Matt Lloyd is credited with developing inline sledge hockey, and the United Kingdom is often regarded as the game's development leader.

In Europe, inline hockey using a ball is more popular.

Inline hockey is a variation of roller hockey, often known as "rink hockey," however it evolved from ice hockey and uses a hockey puck or a ball. Both roller skating games use a wheeled skate, while inline hockey uses inline skates instead of roller skates or "quads."

In North America, the puck-based inline form is more popular than the ball-based variant, but in Europe, the ball-based variant is more popular.

Roller hockey (quad)

Roller hockey is an umbrella term for a roller sport that uses quad skates. It is also known as "quad hockey," "international-style ball hockey," "rink hockey," and "Hoquei em Patins." It existed before inline skates were invented. The sport is played in more than sixty nations and has a global fan base. At the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, roller hockey was a demonstration sport.

Street hockey

This is a dry-land form of ice and roller hockey that is played year-round on a hard surface and is also known as road hockey (usually asphalt). A ball is frequently used instead of a puck, and no safety equipment is used.

Hockey is an amazing sport. And more people should be aware of it's existence and appreciate it .

I just want hockey player Bakugou who’s so goddamn aggressive on the ice, but so sweet and tender and loving when he’s off. you can often find him screaming his head off at someone and shoving against them during games, but pouting in your lap at some after party after scolding him for yelling at a teammate too much.

he’s honestly too pretty to even be playing the sport—always coming home to you with a split eyebrow and an excuse as to why this fight actually wasn’t started by him but by some other dumbass. always nursing bloodied lips and black eyes, but he thinks they’re worth it when you coo up at him for still being so damn handsome, even if he is black and blue.

omg and imagining him coming off the ice, spitting his mouthguard into his gloved hand, teeth covered in blood. he’s skating over to you, fussing the entire time, unaware of just how sexy he looks, all deranged and feral, and like you’re the only one that can tame this beast. he never fully understood why you liked kissing him when he had a mouthful of blood, but your sweetness collides with the metallic tang, so he can’t really complain.

#hi I wrote this at 1:30am #but yes I need him so bad #hopefully by the time this posts I’ll have had a hockey player baku dream lmfao #also I’ve been spring cleaning and it’s so relaxing and cathartic I love it #have a great days guys :) #—new treat in the streets! 🍫 #bakugou treats! 🍬

cornelia street | mark estapa

"i'd never walk cornelia street again..."

mark estapa x fem!reader

summary: after your break up with mark, you're constantly met with reminders of him.

warning(s): angsty, fluffy flashbacks

a/n: i know i said i was feeling soft but taylor played cornelia street today and now im sad so

not proofread

Everything reminded you of him. The smell of your white sheets, the bottles of wine in your cupboard, the backseat of old taxis, that street. The street you always came back to. No matter where you two were going, you somehow always made your way to that street. It was like it was calling to you, pulling you. 

But now you wished you could wash yourself clean of that street. Of the soft glow of the tall green lamp posts that littered the sidewalk every couple feet, the brick buildings that Mark always pinned you against as he kissed you softly, his thumb resting against your chin, the heels of your feet held against the brick wall as you tried to meet his height. The cars that swept past you, always making Mark’s hair fly in the wonkiest directions. You always made fun of him. 

“You have the world’s moppiest blonde hair,” you laughed as you reached the doorstep of your apartment, the breeze long gone and his gold locks looking like a piece of art— abstract, of course.

Mark backed you into your apartment, kicking the door closed with his foot as your back met the white couch in the living room. “How about we mess it up a bit more?”

You laughed, your hands holding his neck and pulling him into your lips. He moved you so your back was fully on the couch as his lips trailed down to your chin, then your neck, and then your chest. Slowly lifting the ends of your shirt, he smiled. God, you loved Mark’s smile. It was the best of the best. You might miss that smile just as much as you missed Cornelia Street.

It’s like the city screamed his name with every aching memory. His piggybacks from Yost to his dorm, laughing like crazy people who just escaped an insane asylum. No one ever understood your jokes— not even his teammates, or your best friend. Your guys’ humor was a collection of inside jokes that have accumulated over time and laughing at the stupidest things: a grandma buying ketchup, a baby eating popcorn, a cat sitting on the lawn. No one understood, but you two did. And that was all that mattered.

“Do you think the man in the wheelchair is still there?” you asked, sitting in the backseat of Luke’s car, your hand in Mark’s as Adam twisted around in the passenger seat.

“What man?”

“The man,” Mark answered, causing you to break into a fit of laughter, Mark joining soon after.

Adam furrowed his brows, looking at Luke to see if he was understanding any of this. 

“You don’t know the man?” you laughed (screeched, actually), your eyes filled to the brim with tears.

“What man?” Adam complained, wanting to understand what was so funny about this man in his wheelchair.

Mark shook his head, looking at you laughing, causing him to laugh even harder. “The man in the wheelchair!”

Sighing, Luke turned the radio up, trying his best to drown out the sounds of the dying cattle in his backseat who couldn’t stop laughing if their lives depended on it.

As you walked along Cornelia Street, this time on your own, you wondered if Mark was laughing at an inside joke with another girl, or pinning her against a brick wall and looking at her if she was the only other person in the world, or if she was combing her fingers through his mop of blonde hair. And then you felt it. With every memory, with every crack in the sidewalk matching the cracks in your heart. With every slight breeze and every green lamp post that guided you back home.

You could never walk Cornelia Street again.
