How The Olympic Games Began Nearly 3,000 years of Olympic history The Olympics first started nearly 3,000 years ago in Ancient Greece . The ancient Greek civilization enjoyed many sports—including running, boxing and wrestling—because they believed physical activity and competition were very important. Every Greek boy was expected to participate in sports , because the Greeks believed the skills they learned in sports would make them better warriors. In honour of Zeus The ancient Greeks also believed religion was very important. Zeus was their greatest god. The ancient Greeks built a shrine to honour Zeus in the Valley of Olympia. Greeks gathered at the shrine to play their favourite sports as part of their religious ceremonies. In 776 B.C. the ancient Greeks first recorded the results from their sporting events held in honour of Zeus. Every four years after that these Games were held, and because they took place in the Valley of Olympia , they became known as the Olympic Games Sports in ancient Greece Sports in the ancient Games usually included: Footracing Wrestling Chariot Racing Running Discus Long Jump Javelin Throwing Gifts of gold At the Games, olive wreaths were given to the winners. Winners became heroes in their hometowns, and

History of the Game The game was first played on frozen lakes and waterways in Canada, players using crude sticks to hit a piece of wood into the goals. In 1893 Lord Stanley gave the Stanley Cup for amateur competition. In 1910 the Stanley Cup became the award for the winners of the professional league play-offs. History of Ice Hockey in New Zealand The sport has been played in New Zealand for over 60 years and started in the South Island high country where farmers and farm workers played on frozen ponds and lakes. The first organised ice hockey tournament was played at Opawa, near Albury in South Canterbury in 1937 when Wyndham Barker gave a trophy called the Erewhon Cup. A meeting was held afterwards and the New Zealand Ice Skating Association formed. Ice hockey was always the poor relation in the NZISA and it wasn't until 1986 when the New Zealand Ice Hockey Federation was formed at a meeting at Lake Tekapo that ice hockey began to flourish. New Zealand's international debut was at the IIHF D Pool World Championships in Perth, West Australia in 1987 where the team won the Bronze medal. New Zealand Senior teams have competed at World Championships regularly since 1995, but success has been elusive and the standard of competition very high. Junior teams began competing in the IIHF Asian/ Oceania Junior Championships in 1998. In 1999 a Bronze medal was achieved in Division 2 of these Championships, and in 2000 the New Zealand Juniors won the Gold Medal in Thailand.

Stand on guard for thee Canada captures first hockey gold medal in 50 years Posted: Sunday February 24, 2002 5:15 PM Updated: Monday February 25, 2002 12:37 AM Goalie Martin Brodeur (front center) poses with the rest of Team Canada after receiving their gold medals. AP WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah (AP) The Maple Leaf dollar buried in America's home ice turned out to be a golden omen for Canada. The Canadians finally ended an agonizing 50-year wait for the Olympic gold medal in their national sport, beating the United States as Jarome Iginla and Joe Sakic each scored twice in a historic 5-2 victory Sunday. "We're a hockey power in the world," goaltender Martin Brodeur said. "Winning the gold kind of reassures Canada." The loss ended U.S. coach Herb Brooks' quest to lead a second gold-medal winning team 22 years after the famous "Miracle on Ice" with a group of college players. "Our attitude coming into this game was we're the better team, we've got to go out there and prove it," U.S. captain Chris Chelios said. "But today, Canada was better." Maybe it was because the Americans really didn't have the home-ice advantage.

Salt Lake stunner Belarus pulls biggest upset since Miracle on Ice Posted: Wednesday February 20, 2002 3:27 PM Updated: Thursday February 21, 2002 3:39 AM Tommy Salo gave up a soft goal for the game-winner with 2:24 to play. AP WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah (AP) The shot couldn't possibly go in, but it did. Sweden couldn't possibly lose, but it did. And the kind of upset that couldn't possibly happen with NHL players now dominating the Olympics is a reality. Vladimir Kopat scored on a 70-foot shot that bounced wildly off goalie Tommy Salo's head with only 2:24 remaining and Belarus scored one of the greatest upsets in Olympic history Wednesday, beating Sweden 4-3 in the hockey quarterfinals. Yes, Belarus believes in miracles, too. "For sure, it is a miracle for us," Belarus goalie Andrei Mezin said. "But sometimes a gun without bullets can shoot, and that was us. We've made our place in history." Belarus-Sweden Breakdown How better to describe Belarus' stunning 4-3 upset of Sweden than Exhibit A as to why you play the game? In competition, anything can happen. Especially in single-elimination events. And that is what this game turned into an event. And one in which Belarus found a way to slow up the high-flying Swedes between the blue lines.
