Bert Burry
Herbert Hadley Burry (February 7, 1906 – July 13, 1999) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played four games in the National Hockey League with the Ottawa Senators during the 1932–33 season. Born in Toronto, Ontario, he married Louise Mildred Taylor in 1927. After his retirement from hockey, Burry was an avid pilot and the owner of McMurray Air Service, with headquarters in Uranium City, Saskatchewan. He later worked for the Canadian government with its polar continental shelf project as director of the polar shelf air supply program. In May 1961, Burry, and a team of scientists were missing for two days when their Otter aircraft, bound for an Arctic research project, crashed after relaying a distress signal. The men were located later by a civilian aircraft near Ellef Ringnes Island. In March 1962, Burry's aircraft again, this time a Beechcraft, went missing on a flight from Cambridge Bay, Northwest Territories to Uranium City, piloted by Captain Ken Moor ...

Defenceman (ice Hockey)
Defence or defense (in American English) in ice hockey is a player position that is primarily responsible for preventing the opposing team from scoring. They are often referred to as defencemen, D, D-men or blueliners (the latter a reference to the blue line in ice hockey which represents the boundary of the offensive zone; defencemen generally position themselves along the line to keep the puck in the zone). They were once called cover-point. In regular play, two defencemen complement three forwards and a goaltender on the ice. Exceptions include overtime during the regular season and when a team is shorthanded (i.e. has been assessed a penalty), in which two defencemen are typically joined by only two forwards and a goaltender. In National Hockey League regular season play in overtime, effective with the 2015-16 season, teams (usually) have only three position players and a goaltender on the ice, and may use either two forwards and one defenceman, orrarelytwo defencemen and ...

Season (sports)
In an organized sports league, a typical season is the portion of one year in which regulated games of the sport are in session: for example, in Major League Baseball the season lasts approximately from the last week of March to the last week of September. In other team sports, like association football or basketball, it is generally from August or September to May although in some countries - such as Northern Europe or East Asia - the season starts in the spring and finishes in autumn, mainly due to weather conditions encountered during the winter. A year can often be broken up into several distinct sections (sometimes themselves called seasons). These are: a preseason, a series of exhibition games played for training purposes; a regular season, the main period of the league's competition; the postseason, a playoff tournament played against the league's top teams to determine the league's champion; and the offseason, the time when there is no official competition.

Hibbing Maroons
The Hibbing Maroons were a semi-professional ice hockey team in Hibbing, Minnesota. They were a member of the Central Hockey League for three seasons and were disbanded in 1934. History The Maroons were one of the founding members of the Central Hockey League, starting as an amateur team in 1931 at the height of the Great Depression. After a decent first season, the team changed to semi-professional status, in keeping with the rest of the league, in 1932. Hibbing finished last in their second season and then rebranded as the 'Hibbing Miners' for year three. The club recovered mightily that year, posting their first winning season while averaging just under 3 goals per game. Unfortunately, mid-way through the season the team's home rink was destroyed by a fire. The Miners managed to pay out the remainder of their schedule but, without a home venue, the team folded after the season.

Canadian–American Hockey League
The Canadian–American Hockey League, popularly known as the Can-Am League, was a professional ice hockey league that operated from 1926 to 1936. It was a direct predecessor of the American Hockey League. For its first ten years the Can-Am's membership varied between five and six teams. However, when the Boston Bruin Cubs dropped out after the 1935–36 season, the league was reduced to just four active teams (Philadelphia, Providence, Springfield, and New Haven). At the same time, the Rust Belt-based International Hockey League had also been cut down to just four teams; Syracuse, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland. With both leagues at the bare minimum number of teams to be viable, they decided to form a temporary "circuit of mutual convenience" known as the International-American Hockey League. For the next two years, the two leagues played an interlocking schedule with the Can-Am clubs serving as the IAHL's Eastern Division and the IHL as its Western Division. At a meeting ...

Penalty (ice Hockey)
A penalty in ice hockey is a punishment for an infringement of the rules. Most penalties are enforced by sending the offending player to a penalty box for a set number of minutes. During the penalty the player may not participate in play. Penalties are called and enforced by the referee, or in some cases, the linesman. The offending team may not replace the player on the ice (although there are some exceptions, such as fighting), leaving them short-handed as opposed to full strength. When the opposing team is said to be on a ''power play'', they will have one more player on the ice than the short-handed team. The short-handed team is said to be "on the penalty kill" until the penalty expires and the penalized player returns to play. While standards vary somewhat between leagues, most leagues recognize several common varieties of penalties, as well as common infractions. The statistic used to track penalties is called "penalty minutes" and abbreviated to "PIM" (spoken as single w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
