NHL lockout leaves time to learn men's hockey's rules

Despite the trilogy of Mighty Ducks movies that emerged in the early '90s, there is a good possibility that the casual sports fan born in America does not know much about the sport of ice hockey, a sport popularized in Canada and abroad that is not currently being played this year at the professional level in the United States.Rodney Dangerfield once said, "I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out." Hockey, a mix between the grace of figure skating and the violence of football, has been criticized by some and praised by others for being one of the most physical sports.Those on the inside tend to have a different perspective."What makes hockey special is that it is the fastest team sport," men's hockey head coach Guy Gadowsky said.

Princeton routs Blue Devils in first round

By halftime Friday night at Lourie-Love Field, where the Princeton Tigers were battling the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils in the first round of the NCAA Women's Soccer Championship tournament, physical play and heavy rain had combined to turn the jerseys of both teams into a muddy shade of brown.Still, the colors that lay beneath all that muck were able to assume significant symbolic value, as the artistry of the white-collar Princeton team prevailed over the scrappiness of their blue-collar opponent in a 5-0 Tigers' victory.Crisp touch passes and the brilliant play of senior forward Esmeralda Negron, who managed two goals and two assists despite the rain and temperatures in the mid-30's, were what pleased the crowd of 325, but the key to victory was Princeton's willingness to get as dirty as its opponents.Fighting against Blue Devil defenders as much as the sloppy conditions, the Tigers took control of the game in the 10th minute with two goals separated by less than 30 seconds.
