Hockey

Hockey is a family of sports in which two teams play against each other by trying to maneuver a ball or a puck into the opponent's goal using a hockey stick. In many areas, one sport (typically field hockey or ice hockey) is generally referred to simply as hockey.

Etymology

The first recorded use of the word hockey is in the 1773 book Juvenile Sports and Pastimes, to Which Are Prefixed, Memoirs of the Author: Including a New Mode of Infant Education by Richard Johnson (Pseud. Master Michel Angelo), whose chapter XI was titled "New Improvements on the Game of Hockey". The belief that hockey was mentioned in a 1363 proclamation by King Edward III of England is based on modern translations of the proclamation, which was originally in Latin and explicitly forbade the games "Pilam Manualem, Pedivam, & Bacularem: & ad Canibucam & Gallorum Pugnam". The English historian and biographer John Strype did not use the word "hockey" when he translated the proclamation in 1720.

The word hockey itself is of unknown origin. One explanation is that it is a derivative of hoquet, a Middle French word for a shepherd's stave. The curved, or "hooked" ends of the sticks used for hockey would indeed have resembled these staves. Another explanation is that the cork bungs that replaced wooden balls in the 18th century came from barrels containing "hock" ale, also called "hocky".

    Hockey (album)

    Hockey is an album by John Zorn featuring his early "game piece" composition of the same name which first appeared on the Parachute Records edition of Pool in 1980. The full recordings of the piece were first released on CD on Tzadik Records as part of the The Parachute Years Box Set in 1997 and as a single CD in 2002.

    Reception

    The Allmusic review by François Couture awarded the album 2½ stars stating "Hockey belongs to John Zorn's early works. The piece dates from 1978 and is shorter (in principle) than Lacrosse or Pool, also from the same period... The inner workings of the piece are left to the listener's imagination, but the composer suggests a likeness to entertainer Jack Benny (and to a lesser extent Buster Keaton). ".

    Hockey

    by: Jane Siberry

    Winter time and the frozen river
    Sunday afternoon
    They're playing hockey on the frozen river
    Rosie...!
    You skate as fast as you can 'til you hit the snowbank
    (that's how you stop)
    And you buy your sweater through the catalogue
    Sailing on
    Rosie...!
    You'll have that scar on your chin forever you know
    Looks bad now, but someday your girlfriend will say "Hey, what...?"
    You might look out the window... Or not
    Don't let those Sunday afternoons
    Get away get away get away get away
    Break away break away break away break away
    This stick was signed by Jean Belliveau
    so don't f**kin' tell me where to f**kin' go...
    f**k f**k f**k f**k!
    Sunday afternoon
    Hey, your dog just stole the puck- ahh... not my dog
    You get it - your turn
    They rioted in the streets of Montreal when they benched Rocket Richard,
    and that is true bona fide Canadian history, that's what really counts
    That's what we're all about
    Don't let those Sunday afternoons
    Get away get away get away get away
    Break away break away break away break away
    You use your rubber boots for goal-posts
    and you're so proud of that, cause they're your boots that they're usin'
    that...
    Oh... walkin' home
    There's some people fishin' in those fishin' huts down the river
    Smoking big cigars and telling stories of long ago
    Rosie...!
    The sun is setting on the frozen river
    And the willow trees with their long fingers
    hanging over the banks
    and somewhere far away in a distant memory is a little boy sittin' on a log
    with bare feet, bruised knees
    fishin' fishin'
    dreamin' of one day... one day
    They're playin' hockey on the frozen river
    The wind is dying down
    Don't let those Sunday afternoons
    Don't let those Sunday afternoons
