In the 1957-1958 41st season, National Hockey League players Ted Lindsay from the Detroit Red Wings and Doug Harvey of the Montreal Canadiens formed the first attempt to create a players labor association called the “National Hockey League Players Association (NHLPA).

Music Major Success Gladwell Summary The first chapter focuses around the seemingly statistical anomaly that the best young Canadian hockey players are almost all born in January. You almost never find a top hockey player born in the last quarter of the year.

A Miracle on Ice: The 1980 Winter Olympics My second posting for the third era is about the 1980 winter Olympics that occurred in Lake Placid, New York. With all the tribulations going on in the American economy, the Cold War, and foreign diplomacy the American people were losing the great since of American pride that was once there. It took a group of 30 college kids from around the country to defeate a team of more or less professional hockey players from the Soviet Union to make the American people stand up on their feet and sing the nation anthem with pride.

This has led to an old-fashioned winter: In Iran, eight people were frozen to death as they got trapped in their car, in Afghanistan almost five hundred people died due to the cold, China measured its coldest winter in fifty years and in Quebec, Canada, approximately five meters of snow came down from the sky- something which has never occurred before. [2] It is easy to just pick a couple of casualties and conclude that Al Gore was wrong. But it is more difficult to find a proper and scientifically correct cause for all of this.
