Mind Over

Many people have been saying that the new technology in the game of hockey is not a good thing but i disagree. I believe that technology in sports is a good thing and has been used to take the game to a whole new level of competitiveness. 

“The spring mechanism reduces the impact on the user’s joints to help prevent joint damage,” he said.  “It also allows the player to transition smoothly from the flat-footed to the forward-angled stance, which reduces the likelihood of developing shin splits.

This quote comes from a student studying mechanical engineering and for his design project he decided to create a skate that would lower the risk of injury and improve speed and performance.

Skates are not the only thing that are progressing in technology. Almost every other piece of equipment is also taking on huge upgrades in the design and performance or the equipment. 

Sticks have also come a long way in the development of technology. Sticks used to be old stiff and wooden which really restricted players as far as being able to control the puck. Technology in this game is good and whenever old people tell you the opposite tell them what you have learned here and i guarantee it will turn them into a believer.
