Hockey

Hockey is a game of 5 on 5 with a goalie on each side and the objective of the game is to make the puck into the goal of the other team. each professional hockey game is composed of 3 periods with 20 minutes in each period. hockey has penalties from biting which you will get a 5 minute major to eye-gouging.Hockey is also a very dangerous sport which can result in some serious injuries and maybe even death.Hockey many years ago has changed so much compared to all the new equipment hockey players wear now. Some fun things about hockey are when players get into fights out on the ice.


ever since was little i watched movies about hockey and loved them. my parents and  i went to a hockey game and the next day i saw an AD on the newspaper and Started playing hockey when i was 11 and i still continue playing. i played hockey for 3 different teams in Texas and i currently play for a hockey team in Garden City,Ks. When i first started playing i was a little nervous because i thought i wasn't going to turn out to be any good but i was wrong. Since i moved to Kansas i haven't got much playing time but we usually arrange tournaments in Wichita and we recently traveled out to pueblo,Co for the weekend to play hockey. Since i joined hockey I've made a lot of friends and experienced many new things along the way.

Pluto

Pluto orbits the orbit of Neptune, pluto is much smaller than any other official planet. Pluto is smaller than the seven of the Solar System's (the Moon, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Titan and Triton). Pluto is (39.5 AU) from the sun. Pluto was discovered in 1930 by a prosperous accident. Calculations which later turned out to be in error had predicted a planet beyond Neptune, based on the motions of Uranus and Neptune. Pluto has not been visited by a spacecraft but a spacecraft called New Horizons was launched in January 2006 and if all goes good it should reach pluto this year(2015). In late 2005 a team using the Hubble Space Telescope discovered two additional tiny moons orbiting pluto. Pluto rotates in the opposite direction from most of the other planets. The surface temperature of pluto varies from -235 and -210C (38-68 K). Pluto's largest satellite is called (Charon) which was discovered in 1978 by Jim Christy Charon is 19,640 Km from Pluto.
