Can a Computer Train a Player's Brain More Then Anything Else?

The brain is the most important and complex part of your body.  So with the greatest hockey players on Earth, being great at their athletic abilities, train to be even faster in their minds.  The Applied Cognitive Engineering (ACE) has an answer for this mystery.  Their IntelliGym is helping even more coaches and players reach their dreamed capability.  Originally used for fighter pilots, ACE has helped the hockey community in a big way.  The developers have a guaranteed 30% all round improvement on the ice.  If these facts are true, it is only a matter of time before the biggest stars in the NHL start using it.

Educational Technology and Copyright Law

Copyrights are a major issue for everyone, if not used correctly.  When not used in the right way, whatever you own, with the unauthorized copyright, you can get shut down or fined.  Although, there are a lot of ways to avoid doing that.  Using copyrights for educational purposes could be one, or just giving the company who made the copyrighted product money.  Getting a copyrighted product for education would be very important for the students.  The products are good for everyone, that needs them for education and/or entertainment.

Colt Hockey Stick

The Colt Hockey Stick


The Colt Hockey Stick is one the newest and is definitely the most durable stick on the market.  For all hockey players, breaking sticks is a big problem.  After two to six weeks you break your stick; another 200 down the drain.  Created by a group on Kickstarter, the group dreamed to make unbreakable hockey stick.  The men made their stick different, it is dipped in nano steel.  That is right, the stick is dipped in the durable yet light weight material.  It can withstand 397 pounds of pressure without breaking.  The prices match up with the top line products of other companies in the industry.  However they may have one flaw in their plan: is it so durable that it cannot break, and people cannot by more of these sticks.  The community can only wait to see how a beautiful idea may become a disaster.

More Protection?

     Yes there is much more protection.  Neck guards have worked a way into hockey.  With lightweight cloth on the outside and flexible padding on the inside.  It has maximum padding to protect injuries in that area.  I would use this once it is required.https://www.shockdoctor.com/core-neck-guard

A change in everything

     In hockey wood sticks lasted since the early 1990's.  Since then composite sticks have been used.  Composite is a light material found in shower stalls and bathtubs.  Composite gives your stick a better flex for harder shots.  There is one down side to composite, when you throw away composite it goes into land fills ad doesn't brake down, but you can recycle composite.  I use composite for most of my hockey sticks and it does make a difference when I play.

Life after Youtube

     For some people when they are younger they may do something dumb as you may say.  Then once they do this their parent, gaurdien, or any other type of family may put this on Youtube.  After that at the 20 million views or some may happen.  Then when these people are older they have to deal with being the kid who sang this or the person who jump off this and so on.  Life after Youtube can be humiliating.  Just imagine when you have to date someone and you think you found the perfect guy/girl.  Then you tell they about your Youtube experience they see the video and dump you right after that.  Stop people from damaging your personal records.
Here are some people who can have this happen to them:http:
