When was the last time you went to a Hockey game? Last Year? Last Week? Yesterday? Hockey is a game that brings people together. It creates a family of people that will stand with each other through anything; fans and players‚ parents and coaches. The Bond that is built is incredibly strong.

The topic that I have found the most intriguing in the sport of hockey is the increased speed of the game through the decades.
