1 Q: What time of year do people need to born to more likely be in the NHL?

1 A: They need to be born early in the year from January to late February.

2 Q: Why do people born before June have a better chance of playing high level baseball?

2 A: They have a better chance because the cut off age for baseball is in late June to play an age group above you, or play elite because if you play with older years you could possibly be viewed as a better player.

3 Q: What if baseball leagues changed the cut off age to later in the year?

3 A: If they did this it would allow much more players to play with the same age group as opposed to playing with an age group above you which could be a little bit more challen

The NHL Lockout's Affect on Cory Schneider
 
This topic relates to the book the outliers because a little bit into the book it talks about needing a certain amount of practice to become a perfectionist. What it says in the book is that for different things you need different amounts of time for different things to become an expert at them. The book did not mention very much on how much you need to practice for hockey, but it did say that if you practice more as a child and not wait until you’re an adult it could very well have a huge impact on your future hockey career. The article explains this topic quite well because a lot of NHL players are going overseas including Cory Schneider. The reason for this move is simple, lack of practice. With the lockout going on that means that teams don't practice, play, or even skate together. A lot of hockey players including Cory Schneider are worried about how much practice they get during the period of the lockout. If regular junior hockey leagues were canceled then all the players would most likely try and find other ways to play hockey. This concludes my relation The NHL Lockouts effect on players and on The Book the Outliers.
