In Newfoundland from December to March, the amount of daylight gained per day gradually increases. Around the winter solstice in December, the days start getting longer by a few minutes each day, with the increase becoming more noticeable as spring approaches in March. On average, Newfoundland could gain around 3-5 minutes of daylight per day during this period.

There are many conflicting stories as to the origin of the Newfoundland - some say he descended from the Great Pyrenees or a "French hound" - but nearly all agree that he originated in Newfoundland and his ancestors were brought there by fisherman from the European continent. In Newfoundland he was used as a working dog to pull nets for the fishermen and to haul wood from the forest. He also did heavy labor, such as powering the blacksmith's bellows.
Naturally, large dogs live for shorter periods of time than small dogs. This is because large dogs have more joint problems and heart troubles.
The average Newfoundland can live to be about 10-12 years old.
An 'outdoor' Newfie (participates regularly in water rescue, outdoor activities, lives mostly outdoors) can live to be about 9-11 years old, because of more stress on their joints.
A well-cared-for and loved Newfie can live to be about 14-15 years old. Treat him like you would treat your family--he IS part of your family. Newfoundlands are amazing, gentle, peaceful and sweet dogs. They make wonderful guardians and are gentle with children.

Hi I am not sure if you mean personally or as a team or ...? From the team approach, it has been said that "hockey is the most collaborative of sports". Meaning that - more than any other sport- a team that cooperates can beat a more skilled opponent that is not playing as a team.
But if you mean personally, in the middle of a game - it is all about effort. Effort beats skill. Effort beats size. Effort beats experience, luck, team politics, and bad officiating.
