How we should think better


     For the sports of hockey it is about quick thinking and spilt second decisions.  Well what happens if you can't even think anymore.  The hockey helmet has developed a lot over the years.  The new Bauer Reakt helmet has taken safety to the next level.  It has the most advanced technology out there.  It uses a suspended-tech liner that is a unique protection system to stop mass acceleration when being hit.  Then it uses a poron-xrd which is a super liner so that it prevents extreme impact.  I use this helmet when ever I play know and I fell much safer.

Why you should trust a wiki

     Most people can't trust a wiki because anyone can edit the page.  Instead of having to argue with it why not try it.  Having may people be able to edit a page is a good way to have many sources of information come into your wiki.  If you have a class or group you could plan a trip somewhere or start up a list that your club needs to do.  Besides your whole group can join this wiki and edit what has or hasn't been done for example.  You can also moditor who has changed or has been on your wiki.
     For my class we are learning about wikis.  One way we could use it would be for our final prodject in which some of use have to make commericials for our product.  An example would be to have our group plan a list on what we did and what we do need to do for it.  It could be open just to our group and we all could pitch in on it.  That is only one way that you could have it ,but there are many more.
     I have many experiences with wikis.  Wikipedia I use most of the time to see about a group or person or something in that area.  Even though many wikis you may not beable to trust people watch over it and make sure that the facts put on there are true.  I know that I can trust it because there are much worse websites than that for information.  You have my word to say that I trust it so why don't you.

A way to see the game

     Ever since the beginning of sports people have always wanted to just see the may object or destination.  For hockey after many years the league had made a glowing puck.  This was mostly suppost to help tv viewers keep track of the puck.  It would track the passes from one player to the next and once would carry it it would have a glow to it.  In the end this product did not suceed and we still have to watch without it.  I truely think that this is not one of the better ideas.  It cost the people who want to make it two million dollars.

How to change the game forever

     With the way everything changes in hockey it becomes hard to keep up with.  The hardest to keep up with is stick technology.  One of the newest sticks out there is the Bauer Supreme Totalone NXG.  It has a griptac feel that helps you keep hold of your stick instead of having to tape your stick all the way down.  One of the other features is the light-weight feel which makes a huge difference.  Then it offers the ablity to rip a hard slapshot.  This is the stick I use right now and once I took my first shot I saw a huge difference.

Shoulder Pads in hockey

     In hockey lots of players like to check to say don`t mess with me or to add a physical attribute.  For players who hit in the upper body area it takes a total on your shoulders.  That`s why we use shoulder pads in order to protect use.  They stop pucks coming in at over a 100 mph.  For me I have been hit in the shoulder area with a puck.  If we didn`t have them right now I`d most likely have my arm in a sling right now
