A dangle is a crazy moved to get around a defender or a move to fake out a goalie. In my opinion the best dangler in the National Hockey League is Pavel Datsyuk of the Detroit Red Wings. His moves are so insane i just want to cry. To be a dangler you have to know when to put on the move. If you do it to early you get the puck poked away. If you do it to late you will get hit. If you make to many moves you will most likely fake yourself out and lose the puck. You have to make the move at just the right time and know how to finish or score. To fake someone ou tit is a good idea to throw a head fake or something in there. It throws the opponent or the goaltender off. Pretty much to be a dangler you have to know what your doing. You have to have sick flow and you have to make stuff happen. There are two different kinds of hockey players. The guys that make things happen. And the guys that watch it happen. Thats the rules of the road for the danglers. Another dangler is Alexander Ovechkin. He is just an unstoppable tank. He makes goalies and defenders feel stupid. He is one of the only hockey players to score from his back. He can put the puck in the top corner of the net with just a flick of the wrist. He is a modern day magician and continues to amaze hockey fans all over the world.

The Gear
Although the sport of Hockey can seem dangerous. Their are many safety precautions taken before the games. All the equipment has to be certified and authenticated before put to use. The most important piece of armor is your helmet. The helmet protects against skull fractures and all that good stuff. There is one major piece of equipment that may seem silly but plays a very important role. The mouth guard. The mouth guard protects mainly against concussions. It also might save a few teeth as well. I would recommend the Cascade helmets. They make for a snug fit and are probably your best bet for the safest helmet. It has much better protection and you are less likely to get a concussion.
On to the shoulder pads. The shoulder pads play a big role in the checking game. If you have to little of shoulder pads it will be easier and faster to move around on the ice but, you will also get knocked around easier and it might hurt a lot more. If you have bigger shoulder pads it would be the opposite. You could be a tad slower and it would be easier to knock people on their butts.
There are thousands of different kinds of gloves available. They make them in every color imaginabl
e. The type of glove you get depends on what the player likes. I personally like the wider gloves. I think its easier to stick handle and dangle with wider gloves. People might have different opinions. They might like the narrow gloves. They might like it tighter around their hand just in case their glove doesn't fall off.

They also have padding all around which is good for blocking shots. Your pants and your Shoulder Pads should be touching to insure safety.
The jock or cup is used to protect your. You know whats. It is also used to keep your socks from falling down. The shin pads are used for blocking shots and to make sure it doesn't hurt when you take a digger. The elbow pads are there to make sure you don't bust an elbow on the ice. These are the basic essentials that you suit up with.

The Earliest Years of Hockey
In the begginning hockey was not played on ice. The game of Hockey has been around from the time of early civilization. Some of the reports find the earliest origin of the game 4000 years back. Field hockey was reportedly played even before the birth of Christ. Basically known as the “ball and stick” game, it was played since ancient times in places diverse as Rome, Scotland, Egypt and South America. The game was referred to in different names but the basic idea of playing the game was the same. The most used term was “Hockie” by the Irish. Though the term was lost years ago, the word found its way through to the present generation.
In the 17th and the early 18th century England, the game acquired a fiercely competitive and crazy form. Villages would compete against their neighboring villages and there were nearly 100 players in one team. The game was for pride and manhood. So the game acquired a dangerous form. The game would last for half a month and many players would end up injured and grievously hurt. The Referees were there but they were more of mute spectators, who would make a call only if a team asked them to.

The Referees were there but they were more of mute spectators, who would make a call only if a team asked them to.
After some years, common sense and a logical and organized approach to the game came into play with the introduction of revision of rules. The game was limited to 30 players for each team. The Eton College of England drafted some rules to bring sanity to the game. The Hockey Association was formed in the year 1875 and some of the rules thrown out. The results were quite positive and more rules like giving the Referee enough authority were soon drawn to improve the quality of the game.
The 1917-1918 NHL season had a rough start. Right off the bat a team called the “Bulldogs” backed out, followed by the Montreal Wanderers in January of 1918. Being only a tiny part of what they once were, the Wanderers ended in one of the most memorable way a franchise could back then.
There was another problem facing the newly formed NHL. The league was formed as a result of a split of the NHA. Owners of the teams in this league were not happy with Eddie Livingstone who owned the Toronto Blue Shirts. They did not invite Livingstone to join the NHL, and this led to years and years of fighting. The NHL leased Livingstone’s team, which played in the Toronto Arena. When they won the Stanley Cup, Livingstone was not given the spoils of the victory. Instead, his team was incorporated into a new club and named the Toronto Arenas. As a result, Livingstone sued the league. In spite of this confusion, the NHL rose out of these beginnings to make their presence known in the world of professional hockey. The
history of the NHL had trouble at the beginning, but, like the game of hockey itself, the NHL rose out of the struggle to be successful.
