NHL Season (Finally!) Begins This Saturday https://teachingkidsnews.com/2013/01/14/1/ https://teachingkidsnews.com/2013/01/14/1/#comments Tue, 15 Jan 2013 02:00:00 +0000 https://teachingkidsnews.com/?p=8737 The National Hockey League season is finally beginning.

After 113 days, the dispute between the owners and the players is over.

Fans have been without hockey since Sept. 15; that’s when the NHL season was supposed to have started.

After months of negotiations, players voted in favour of a new "collective agreement" to end the lockout.

Then to officially end the lockout, representatives for both the owners and players signed a document saying they agree to the proposal.

The 30 hockey teams that make up the NHL started training camps on Jan. 13.

There are seven Canadian teams in the NHL: the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Montreal Canadiens, the Calgary Flames, the Edmonton Oilers, the Winnipeg Jets, the Ottawa Senators and the Vancouver Canucks.

Training camp is a time for teams to put together their roster.

It also gives teams a chance to prepare for the upcoming season in hopes of winning the Stanley Cup.

This camp will be shorter than usual as there is a rush to get the season started. As a result there will be no pre-season games.

LA Kings Take Home The Stanley Cup https://teachingkidsnews.com/2012/06/12/la-kings-take-home-the-stanley-cup/ Wed, 13 Jun 2012 01:12:15 +0000 https://teachingkidsnews.com/?p=6902 The LA Kings are the kings of hockey, for the first time in their history.

On Monday night, the Kings won hockey's ultimate prize -- the Stanley Cup.

Their quest for the Stanley Cup has been 45 years in the making.

Their dream became a reality after they beat the New Jersey Devils 6-1 in the sixth game of a seven-game series.

The win can be attributed in large part to a five-minute major penalty against one of the Devils’ players early in the game. During that penalty the Kings scored three goals.

The game then really opened up in favour of the Kings. Jonathan Quick, the Kings' goalie, was solid in net. In fact, he was fantastic for the entire playoffs, setting NHL records. He was named playoff MVP (Most Valuable Player), and was awarded the Conn Smythe trophy.

Stanley Cup Playoffs Update https://teachingkidsnews.com/2012/05/03/stanley-cup-playoffs-update/ Fri, 04 May 2012 01:00:14 +0000 https://teachingkidsnews.com/?p=6476 With the beginning of each National Hockey League (NHL) regular season, teams dream of winning The Stanley Cup.

The Stanley Cup is the NHL’s ultimate prize. It is a trophy awarded each year to the team that wins the playoffs.

The playoffs are composed of the top 16 teams from the regular season.

In the playoffs teams embark on a best-of-seven series in hopes of winning The Cup. The team to win four games first wins the series.

Each series win brings a team one step closer to raising The Stanley Cup as champion.

Last year the Boston Bruins were champions and won The Cup.

This year the Bruins lost in round one in a thrilling series against the Washington Capitals.
