reading, language arts, math, and art skills. We hope you and your child enjoy going
through these workbooks over the next few months.
We are not educational professionals, please note these activities should not

Reading Comprehension Jake played hockey. It was his favourite sport. Sure, the other ones were fun, but there
was something very fun about ice hockey. It was a full contact sport, but so were other sports. It
was fast, and some sports were fast, but this was a sort of breakneck, crash the boards, shoot the
pick sort of crazy. Maybe that’s what he liked best about it: the crashing and the skating. It was a
skate until you can’t hardly breath and get that puck in the net kind of excitement that was one of
a kind.
Hockey usually has 6 players per team, including a goalkeeper. Players are usually
broken up into three groups: goalkeepers, defense, and forwards. There are different kinds of
defense, midfielders, and forwards, each with a slightly different job, but each team only has one
goalkeeper on at a time. Hockey is a lot like soccer, in that the goalkeeper has special rights to
hold and use the puck. Unlike soccer, players can use their hands or feet or other body parts to
catch and stop the puck. However, passes and shots must be made with a stick.
Hockey is interesting because it doesn’t have halves or quarters. Instead it has 3 periods
of 20 minutes each. There is an intermission, usually 10-15 minutes between these periods.
Hockey also has a lot of substitutions, as often as every couple of minutes. You don’t see these
kind of changes in many other sports. Because there is such a quick change of players, teams try
to keep fresh, energized players on the ice at all times. This means you skate your heart out, up
and down the rink until your shift is over. It is like running a sprint, taking a few minutes off, and
doing it again repeatedly.
Jake liked playing goalkeeper. He felt like a gladiator on the ice. He had an oversized
helmet to protect his neck from incoming shots. He had a net glove on one hand, and an
oversized stick on the other, which had a blocking glove on the back. He also had very large shin
and leg guards to help block the net. In the right position, he could fully block around half the
goal with his body, his pads, and his stick.
Hockey is a game of mere inches, though, and strong forwards could slide the puck into
the smallest holes in his defense. Some could lift it over his shoulder and catch the corner of the
net. Sometimes he missed a block right between his skates! The goalkeeper was arguably the
hardest position to play, but also the most important. The goalkeeper prevented scores for the
other team, directed defense, and helped control the pace of the game.
Hockey is a lightning-fast sport. Pucks fly up to 150 kilometers and hour! Can you
imagine snapping a puck at that speed or having to catch that with a glove? A puck is smaller
than the balls in most sports, remember, and it comes out of nowhere in a hurry. Like soccer or
basketball, passing is huge. There are also fast breaks down the rink.
Referees watch for slashing, tripping, and other rule infractions, but mostly they like to
keep the game moving along smoothly. Most minor infractions, like offsides or hitting the puck
out of bounds usually just end with the blow of a whistle and teams have a face-off. This is
where one player from each team has to try to take the puck when it is dropped. This is
somewhat like a jump ball in basketball. Get the puck, get it to your team, and try to make shots
on goal.
Penalties can happen a few times per period. In cases of penalties, one team loses a player
for a few minutes. This gives the other team a 1 or sometimes even 2-man advantage for up to a
few minutes. The shorthanded team must go on defense, while the other team takes their time
setting up good passes for shots on goal. Lots of goals are made during these power play
chances, and the typical hockey game might end on 4-2 or 1-0.
Jake knew not everyone loved his sport as much as he did. What wasn’t to like, though?
On hot summer days, a cool ice rink was fun to visit. Fans of basketball and soccer could see
some of the same game play ideas, too. The contact was much like football or rugby, too. It was
a rough, fun, and fast game to watch! Hockey is the biggest sport in Canada and several northern
European countries. Hockey is also an Olympic sport, and there are several international
competitions as well.
