Welcome to the Hockey Hall of Fame Junior Program. This program was designed to assist you in planning your trip with your class to the Hockey Hall of Fame with your class. The program consists of three sections: Pre-Visit activities, Hall Visit activities, and Post-Visit activities. These activities cover a broad range of curriculum subjects such as Math, Social Studies, Language and the Arts. In the “Pre-Visit activities”, your students will be introduced to three stories about a beaver named Rusty and how he learns about hockey and the Hockey Hall of Fame. Each story is accompanied by a worksheet. When you visit the Hockey Hall of Fame, there is an activity that guides you through the Hall entitled “Helping Rusty Score a Goal”. Divide the class into groups of 4-8 students and have each group start at different questions. The map found at the end of the activity will assist students with locating the answers. Back at school, there are more activities entitled “Post-Hall” activities which can serve as a guideline for any extensions you might wish to design. Furthermore, our web-site provides an enormous amount of information on all aspects of the game. Feel free to browse www.hhof.com for any ideas or questions you might have. We have also provided a list of hockey-related books and novels that may be of some help when introducing the trip to your class. Thank you for using the Hockey Hall of Fame Junior Program. Should you have any questions regarding the program or would like to book your group visit, please contact the Group Sales Department at 416-360-7735 ext. 292 or toll-free at 1-888-879-0970.

The Hockey Hall of Fame’s Junior Education Program was designed in conjunction with Ontario’s Junior Curriculum to ensure that your students receive relevant, unique and fun lessons. The Social Sciences curriculum is incorporated by having students locate relevant information from a variety of sources, by asking pertinent questions to gain information, by communicating information about early communities and by examining how environment, society and technology were related in early communities. Students will identify various parts of speech such as verbs, adjectives and adverbs. They will label and use pictures and diagrams appropriately, select and use words to create specific effects and produce media texts using writing and materials from other media to integrate the Language curriculum. As a part of the Math curriculum, students will be using a variety of estimation strategies; they will be representing and explaining number concepts, adding and subtracting numbers mentally, explaining their thought processes when solving problems involving whole numbers and identifying relationships between and among patterns. Students will have the opportunity to produce two- and three-dimensional works of art that communicate ideas for specific purposes; they will identify strengths and areas for improvement in their own work and that of others as a part of the Art curriculum. Activities have also been compiled where students will be directed to the Hockey Hall of Fame’s website found at www.hhof.com to search for answers. The Hockey Hall of Fame’s website is a great hockey resource that features over 75,000 web pages.

Pre-Visit Activities

Rusty the Beaver – Story #1

12 Pre-Visit Activity #1

Deep in the forest tucked away from the big city is a very special place. There is a mist beneath the trees this morning. Through the trees, the fingers of sunlight show a long pond that lies still with scarcely a ripple. This is the home of Rusty the beaver.

On the north end of the pond, one can see a dome-like pile of branches. This is a beaver dam. Rusty’s family has lived here for generations. His great grandfather began a hockey stick factory that still exists to this day. Great Grampa Rusty started “The Castor Hockey Stick Company” in 1867. It was the same year the Canadian colonies joined together to form a country called “Canada”.

Rusty spends a lot of time with Gramma Rusty when his dad is at work at the factory or away from the pond. Rusty’s dad was always working and improving the company. He was responsible for suggesting the famous “Beaver Tail Blade,” now a feature on all Castor Hockey Sticks and used by most hockey players. These hockey sticks are still made with Rock Elm, Canadian Birch and Black Ash trees; the same material that Great Grampa Rusty used when he started the company.

In the winter, the temperature becomes very cold and the pond freezes over to become ice. On one cold January day, Rusty, having completed his wood chipping homework in the study of the dam, noticed all of these trophies and ribbons. He quickly went to Gramma and asked about the trophies.

She replied, “These are the trophies I received when I played hockey for the Sherbrooke Ladyjacks.”

“Gramma, what is hockey?” exclaimed a confused little beaver.

Gramma was astonished to hear her own grandson and heir to the Castor Hockey Stick Company did not know about the game of hockey. She stopped what she was doing and said, “I will have to solve this problem.”

She reached for the top shelf of her closet and pulled out a large thick scrapbook filled with pictures and stories about the game. She explained the rules of the game and showed Rusty some of

her most memorable matches. Rusty was excited to hear the stories and wanted Gramma to continue. Gramma was pleased with Rusty’s interest and said, “That’s enough for now. We will talk more about it some other time.”

Rusty’s Word Game

One day some years later, as Rusty and Gramma were having one of their chats, Rusty asked, “What was hockey like when you first played?”

“Well,” replied Gramma, “the game was like it is today”.

Then Rusty pointed to an article saying, “According to early reports in copies of the Beaver Tales Daily News, the pioneers of the game began playing hockey as a recreational game. What are they talking about Gramma?”

“Well,” started Gramma, “the early version of hockey started out as something to do for fun like the games you play with your friends at recess time at school. Then, teams from small lakes and ponds began challenging each other to see who was the best. In 1886, an organization was formed called the Amateur Hockey Association of Canada. Rules were developed and the number of players was set at seven; three forwards, a rover, a point, a cover point as well as a goalie.”

“Gramma, I know what forwards and goalies are, but what are points, cover points and rovers?”

“The point and the cover point worked with the goalie to help stop the other team from scoring, like a defenceman. The rover is a position I used to play, but it was taken away when the game began to be played in smaller indoor arenas,” Gramma explained.

“That’s kind of funny, Gramma. You see, my friends gave me the nickname ‘Rover’ because I tend to be all over the ice chasing after the puck,” Rusty added.

“The game of hockey has changed a great deal since that time and it is now played all over the world. Each spring in North America, the top teams compete for a trophy donated by Lord Stanley of Preston, the Governor General of Canada in 1893,” continued Gramma.

“Is that the Stanley Cup? I saw an article in your scrapbook about a team called the Chicago Black Hawks who won the Stanley Cup with a young player by the name of Bobby Hull,” the beaver contributed.

“Ah yes, I remember. I think the year was 1961,” Gramma said with a twinkle in her eye. “He was my favourite player. Did you know he was the first player to score more than fifty goals in a season in the National Hockey League? Boy, I could talk about him all day long, but now I have to make dinner. We will talk another time,” Gramma said as she scurried to the kitchen.

Rusty continued to read through the scrapbook and learned more about this game called hockey.

Answer on page 72



It was a spring day at the pond. The ice had melted and Rusty was putting away his hockey equipment for another season. While in the basement, he pulled out one of Gramma’s scrapbooks. He was leafing through the book looking at the stories and pictures. At that moment, Gramma appeared and asked, “Into the old scrapbooks again, I see. What are you looking at today?” “Oh, Gramma, these stories are so fascinating! I’m reading

about Gordie Howe, Howie Morenz, Cyclone Taylor and Bobby Hull,” exclaimed an excited Rusty. “Ah, Howe was known for his strength; Morenz and Taylor, their speed and stick-handling; and Bobby Hull, my favourite, for his explosive slapshot,” replied Gramma.“ Let us not forget the great goalies such as Jacques Plante, Glenn Hall and Ken Dryden.” “I read here a goalie had 103 shutouts in his career,” added Rusty. “That would be Terry Sawchuk. He was one of the best. He was one of the heroes of my teammates on the Sherbrooke Ladyjacks,” Gramma explained. “I can imagine he would be every beaver’s favourite with a name like Sawchuk,”Rusty added with a giggle. As he shook, a ticket fell out of the scrapbook. Rusty picked it off the floor and read it aloud, “The Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum.” As he held out the ticket for his grandmother, he said, “What is this Gramma?” “Let us see. The first time I left the forest, I traveled to Toronto in the fall of 1961 to visit the Hockey Hall of Fame at the Canadian National Exhibition to see the Stanley Cup. You see Bobby Hull and the Black Hawks had just won it that spring.” “What did you see at the Hall of Fame?” questioned a wide eyed Rusty. “Besides the Stanley Cup and the other NHL trophies, they had pictures and stories of some of the best players to play the game. These players were voted into the Hockey Hall of Fame for their great contribution to the game of hockey,” explained Gramma. “Tell me more Gramma,” pleaded Rusty. “I hear a new building opened its doors right downtown in Toronto. They say it is four times larger than the previous one and is filled with two theatres, plenty of displays and interactive games to show you how to play the game,” stated Gramma. “Wow, Gramma! This sounds like a great place to go and learn about the game of hockey,” sighed a star struck Rusty, “but will I ever get a chance to see it?” “Yes you can,” said Gramma trying to soothe the little beaver. “Your teacher can arrange to take the whole class down to the Hockey Hall of Fame as a field trip.” “That’s great Gramma! I’m going to try to convince my teacher to take us there,” chirped a contented Rusty.

Stats: Part #1


Did you know that mathematics can be used to describe hockey players? Goals, assists and points are facts that tell readers about hockey players. These facts are called statistics or stats. Statistics are collected for each player for each game they play. Statistics are also combined to give points for a whole season of play. We can compare players by using statistics. First we need to know the formula: GOALS + ASSISTS = POINTS Wayne Gretzky has some really impressive statistics.

Season Goals Assists Points 1990-91 41 122 163 1991-92 31 90 121 1992-93 16 49 65 1993-94 38 92 130

Complete the stats for the following three years in Wayne Gretzky’s hockey career: Goals Assists Points

Season Goals Assists Points 1994-95 11 37 1995-96 23 79 1996-97 25 97 1997-98 67 90

Did you change the formula for 1996-97 and 1997-98? Circle one: yes no If yes, what are your new formulas? ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ Web-question: In which season of Wayne Gretzky’s career did he earn his most points?

MCI Great Hall 10. He is noted for contributing to the legacy of hockey and his name

continues to be part of the game. As you walk up the stairs to the MCI Great Hall, you will find him pointing the way to the Stanley Cup. Who is this man? _________________________________________________________

11. In 1893, Lord Stanley of Preston, the Governor-General of Canada

donated a trophy at the request of his hockey-playing sons. Today, it is the oldest professional team trophy competed for in North America. Although the award is commonly known by the name of its donor, this trophy of hockey supremacy has another name. Look at The Stanley Cup on display in the MCI Great Hall or the original bowl in the vault and find the original name of hockey’s most prized possession. _________________________________________________________

Post-Visit Activities

Create an Award

45 Post-Visit Activity #1

At school, brainstorm the different types of awards – trophies, plaques, medals, ribbons, etc. • Discuss the awards you saw at the Hockey Hall of Fame.

• Discuss shape, composition, colour, etc. Students may participate in a show and tell of trophies that are theirs, their siblings or other relatives.

What award might be given in class? Academics, athletics, congeniality, citizenship, outstanding performance in... ____________________________________________________________

Design awards Paper mache over balloons, styrofoam cups, etc. give interesting shapes. Once completed, have an awards ceremony in the class where students can present awards, make speeches and have awards displayed throughout the classroom. Write an award story Although teams win trophies, the trophies have sometimes had adventures of their own. They have been left places and forgotten, dropped and dented, and have even had to have guards escort them around for their own safety. Write a story about a particular trophy’s adventure. Your title could be… WHY I LOVE BEING THE STANLEY CUP

Students may have a contest to determine the false statements. Have students complete five pieces of information on cards where four items are truthful and one is false. Students are to determine the false fact.

A Museum About You!


You have been appointed curator of a museum about yourself! It is up to you to decide what people will see when they come to visit your museum. First, create different “zones” similar to those you saw during your visit to the Hockey Hall of Fame. For example, you might have a Family Zone or a Sports Zone. Using the table below or a separate piece of paper, list the zones you have chosen as headings. Under each heading, make a list of a few objects or people you would want to include in each zone. For example, in the Family Zone, you might want to put pictures of your parents, brothers and sisters or pets. In the Sports Zone, you might want to display your soccer jersey or your first pair of skates. Think about all the artifacts you saw while you were at the Hockey Hall of Fame. Each one had a special story or memory behind it. Try to choose objects that have special meaning in your life.

Family Zone

Friends Zone Sports Zone Awards Zone

Zone

Zone

Zone

Zone

Teachers: Honour each student’s Hall of Fame displaying their artifacts weekly.


For each of the zones you decide on, collect photographs, cut out pictures from magazines or draw pictures of all the objects you listed in the table above. For each artifact, write a few sentences on a blank sheet of paper describing why it is special to you. When you are ready, assemble all the pictures and their descriptions and arrange them on a piece of bristol board or in a scrapbook. Make sure you keep all the artifacts from the same zone together. Optional: • Design a layout for your museum. Where would you put each zone?

Would you have a gift shop? A snack bar? Games? Draw in the route you think people should take to be sure they see everything.

• Create an advertisement for your museum. What do you have at

your museum that would attract people to come and visit? What are the admission prices? What time does it open and close?

Hockey Puzzle #4 (page 63)

1. If you buy 3 tickets for $2.25, you receive 4 tickets. $2.25 = 4 tickets $1.50 = 2 tickets $6.00 = 10 tickets Or, divide $6.00 by .75 and get 8 tickets purchased. For every 3, add one more to get a total of 8 + 2 =10. 2. Subtract the number of goals scored from the total number of points recorded to find the number of assists. 75 (points) – 31 (goals) = 44 (assists)
