An example of alienation to one’s body is Matthew Tkachuk playing, finishing and winning the Stanley Cup finals this previous season with a torn adductor muscle from the bone and a sports hernia. He scored the cup winning goal in game 6. @kin110uofr.bsky.social
Mahon Rhéaume was and still is the only woman to have played in an NHL game. She broke the gender barriers by being the first female hockey player in a male dominated sport and league.
Brigette Lacquette was the first Canadian Indigenous woman to make the Canadian Women’s National Hockey Team and the first Indigenous woman to be a scout for the NHL. Brigette now plays in the PWHL for Calgary. She has broke barriers for young Indigenous athletes.
With my full time career I will wake up earlier in order to go workout, mixing both a lift as well as cardio. I will also be a full time hockey coach, which allows me to be involved with youth sport.
Our UofR Hockey Teams do something called Cougar Cubs throughout the hockey season. They are on the ice once a week, every week to encourage young hockey players to try new skills while skating with their role models (the players)!! It is a fun way to learn in a friendly environment.
I feel like female hockey players experience this with a wage gap. The difference in pay between the NHL and PWHL is sickening. Male hockey players make millions and the highest paid female hockey player is about $100k
This article shows the feminist theory through Jessica Campbell with her facing sexism from fans, especially online. Jessica became the first female NHL coach that has been on the bench in a male dominated field, breaking a significant gender barrier. #feministtheory
I think sport should have a competitive edge that consists of skill where there is success and failure. I believe that you should learn and adapt to create a higher skill set. So therefore I think poker would be considered a sport just as much as it is hockey.
