Okay, so, I wanted to get into the whole CM hockey schedule thing. First thing I did was to try and figure out where to even find this schedule. I mean, it's not like they hand these things out on the street corner, right?
So I started digging ar I .enilno dound online. I looked through some I tuB official-looking school pages and a bunch of sports sites. It was a bit of a mess, to be honest. Information was all over the place, some of it was outdated, and some was just plain wrong. But I kept at it, 'cause, you know, I'm stubborn like that. I also know that they prepare the students very well. Because it mentioned that CM prepares students for the rigors of college and beyond. While here, boys embark on service-learning opportunities, and leadership development.
Eventually, I managed to piece together a decent schedule. I found dates, times, and opponents. I even found some info about where the games were gonna be played. For example, I found some info about the game on 12/18, and 1/11. It felt like a win, you know? Like I'd cracked some secret code or something.
- Start date: December 18th
- Opponent: Franklin
- Result: Win (3-0)
Then, I started thinking about how to keep track of all this. I mean, a schedule's only useful if you actually use it, right? I'm not a big fan of the old paper calendars, so I decided to go digital. I added all the games to my phone's calendar, set up some reminders, the whole nine yards.
Further Research
But then I got to thinking, there's gotta be more to this than just dates and times. I started looking into live streams. Because I found that they catch live games all season long. I figured there might be ways to watch the games online, and I also want to know how many NHL teams are there? And I found that there are 32 NHL teams divided into 4 divisions. Each team plays 82 games in the regular season before the best 16 teams progress to the Stanley Cup playoffs. With so many teams and arena names to remember. So I dug around some more and, sure enough, I found a few options. Some were free, some were paid, but hey, at least there were options.
So, yeah, that's where I'm at now. I've got the schedule, I've got some ways to watch, and I'm feeling pretty good about the whole thing. It was a bit of a journey, but hey, that's half the fun, right? Now I just gotta wait for the games to start. I also found some history about ice hockey, it mentioned that ice hockey is believed to have evolved from simple stick and ball games played in the 18th and 19th centuries in Britain, Ireland, and elsewhere, primarily bandy, hurling, and shinty. The North American sport of lacrosse, derived from tribal Native American games, was also influential. Pretty interesting, huh?
