Often regarded as the fastest game in the world, Ice Hockey, as the name suggests, is played on ice. It's a team sport played on an ice rink as two teams battle it out to score the most goals. Similar to hockey, the opponents use their ice hockey sticks to shoot a vulcanized, rubber disc called a puck into the goalpost. Each goal gets one point and the team with the most goals wins the competition. Therefore, it is a full-contact sport filled with drama and excitement. The sport features in the Winter Olympics with the US, Canadian and Russian teams often dominating the headlines. Significantly, the International Ice Hockey Federation governs the game. Similarly to ice hockey, many countries play field hockey with rules similar to that of ice hockey.

<h3>History of Ice Hockey</h3>
Earlier, people believed ice hockey originated in England. However, research suggests, the game was seen throughout Canada by British soldiers in the mid-1800s. At first, the players adopted fundamental techniques like 'bully' (later the face-off), and 'shinning' ( hitting one's opponent on the shins), and later it evolved into a game called shinty. Later on, the game evolved into more than 30 players battling it out against each other. The first-ever public indoor ice hockey game recorded was back in 1875, between two teams at McGill University. By the later 1800s, the sport drew large crowds in Canada and competed with Lacrosse as one of the popular sports.

Always dubbed to be a violent game, soon, the players received protective equipment, and rinks were developed. In 1893, the Stanley Cup <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/ice-hockey/The-National-Hockey-League" target="_blank" rel="noopener">came</a> into existence after Frederick Arthur, Lord Stanley of Preston, donated the cup to the top team. Even though Canada popularized the sport, the first professional team recorded was back in 1903 in the United States of America, named Portage Lakes. After that, the year 1910 saw National Hockey Association formed, which was the forerunner of the National Hockey League. It became the most widely recognized sport in hockey associations in North America. Moreover, Montreal Canadiens from Canada became the most successful team with 24 cup <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nhl/news/stanley-cup-winners-team-most-championships-nhl-history/gdv5rchramyobabdaxbxy55x" target="_blank" rel="noopener">victories</a>.

<h3> Rules and Regulations</h3>
With the sport accustomed to its physical nature, checking is a body contact that opponents can use to take them out of play. A face-off is held where an official drops the puck for the players to battle it out. 11 players play in a team where six players play on the rink with five subs waiting in the technical area. The goalie never leaves his goal area. In the NHL, there are three periods in the game with <a href="https://howtheyplay.com/team-sports/Basic-Rules-NHL-Hockey-Visual-Guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over</a> 20 minutes played between both teams. The periods increase during the playoffs as they wait for a team to score the first goal.
<h3>Greatest Ice Hockey players</h3>
<strong>Wayne Gretzky</strong>

Regarded as the 'Great One', Wayne Gretzky remains one of the most dominant athletes of all time. The sheer commitment to be the best saw his jersey being retired by the whole league- the famous '99.' He won nine NHL MVPs and a 4x Stanley Cup championships. He scored the most points with 2857, scored 894 goals, and 1963 assists. In fact, no player reached 2000 career points in the NHL as Gretzky stands atop the charts. He has a scoring streak of 51 points which may stand as a record that won't be broken.

<strong>Mario Lemieux</strong>

The three-time MVP and two-time Stanley Cup winner Mario Lemieux is one of the greatest ice hockey players of all time. Apart from Gretzky, he has the most points in a single season. He also recorded a 46-game point streak that proved to be sensational. Mario holds a unique record of scoring a 'cycle', where he scored a goal in all five variations of ice hockey. Retired from the sport with 1723 points, he is a generational talent.

<strong>Gordie Howe</strong>

4x Stanley Cup champion, 6x NHL MVP, and a 23x All-Star, Gordie Howe epitomized fitness and determination. He played his last game at the age of 51 playing around 1767 games. Charming but with an inner steel inside, he scored 23 goals in 22 consecutive seasons.

<strong>Sidney Crosby</strong>

Watching young kids to the fullest of their abilities is a treat to watch. That happened with Sidney Crosby as he became the youngest player to lead his team to a Stanley Cup victory at 21. Affectionately named 'Sid the Kid,' he led his NHL teams well and continues to play.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Dustin Johnson?Â </b></h2>
Dustin Hunter Johnson, also known as DJ, is an American professional golfer who currently plays on LIV Golf. One of the most prominent golfers of current times, Johnson picked up the sport at a very young age. Among his many accomplishments are two major victories and appearances for the US national team. Let's dive in to learn about Johnson's family, career wins, earnings, and more!
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Early LifeÂ </b></h2>
Dustin Johnson was born on June 22, 1984, in Columbia, South Carolina, to Scott Johnson and Kandee Nee Whisnant. He was the eldest of three children and has two siblings, Austin and Laurie. His father was a professional golfer and ran a pro shop. Johnson's grandfather, Art Whisnant, was an All-ACC basketball player in South Carolina. As a result, the golfer was athletic from a very young age.

It is no surprise that his father introduced him to the game of golf at the tender age of six. He soon started showing his golfing talent and, in the seventh grade, became a member of the Irmo High School varsity team.

[caption id="attachment_775288" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-775288" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-09-22T152608Z_673151991_UP1EH9M16VI0W_RTRMADP_3_GOLF-RYDERCUP.jpg" alt="Dustin Johnson at Ryder Cup" width="1920" height="1304" /> Golf - The 2020 Ryder Cup - Whistling Straits, Sheboygan, Wisconsin, U.S. - September 22, 2021 Team USA's Dustin Johnson poses for a team group ahead of a practice round REUTERS/Brian Snyder[/caption]

The golfer's swing is mostly self-learned. He had grown up witnessing the swings of other players at the Weed Hill Driving Range in Columbia. His father was a Club pro and would take him along to the range. Johnson's brother, Austin, is his longtime caddie and was on the bag during his 2020 Masters win.

The young Dustin's golfing career began to show promise as he set a record at the Coldstream Country Club in Irmo and Golden Hills Golf &amp; Country Club for shooting a pair of 64 on two consecutive days.

Johnson later transferred to Dutch Fork High School, and after graduating, he enrolled at Coastal Carolina University to pursue sports management. But his eyes were set on something differentâ€”the PGA Tour. During his university days, Johnson trained under Allen Terrell, who guided the then-young talent toward achieving prestigious titles such as the Monroe Invitational, the Northeast Amateur and All-Big South honors at the Big South Conference Championship in his freshman year.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Wife and Children</b></h2>
The LIV Golfer met his now wife, Paulina Gretzky, daughter of the legendary NHL star Wayne Gretzky and Janet Jones, in 2013. The two started dating just before the 2013 PGA Tour season and by August of that year, Johnson popped the question to Gretzky, and the couple got engaged.

[caption id="attachment_1440505" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-1440505" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0024394749h.jpg" alt="Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky" width="1920" height="1254" /> Johnson celebrates with partner, son after winning U.S. Open Dustin Johnson (C) of the United States celebrates with partner Paulina Gretzky (L) and their son Tatum after winning the U.S. Open golf tournament at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, on June 19, 2016. Johnson claimed his first major title. PUBLICATIONxINxGERxSUIxAUTxHUNxONLY<br /><br />[/caption]

Then, in 2015, they welcomed their first child, Tatum Gretzky Johnson, on January 19. In the summer of 2017, the family of three became four with their second son, River Jones Johnson, on June 14th. The two finally decided to tie the knot on April 23, 2022. Paulina Gretzky never shied away from showing her love and support for her golf husband, she frequently posts about the couple on her Instagram and also took up the role of his caddie at the Master Par 3 contest in 2023.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Net Worth 2024Â </b></h2>
According to Forbes, Johnson has an estimated net worth of $107 million. The American has earned an estimated $102 million from prize winnings from tournaments and an additional $ million through endorsements. His $125 million move to LIV has also greatly boosted his earnings. The LIV golfer also made it to the 2023 edition of Forbes's The World's Highest-Paid Athletes and was given the sixth spot on the list.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Amateur CareerÂ </b></h2>
Dustin Johnson played collegiate golf at Coastal Carolina University. His grandmother, Carole Jones, had called up the institute's coach, Allen Terrell, to explain how badly DJ wished to pursue golf.

As an amateur golfer, Johnson won the Monroe Invitational and the Northeast Amateur in 2007. He was also part of the victorious Walker Cup and Palmer Cup teams in 2007.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Pro career</b></h2>
Dustin Johnson turned pro in 2007. He went on to earn his PGA Tour card by tying for 14th place at the 2007 qualifying school. In October of 2008, he won his first PGAT title at the Turning Stone Resort Championship in upstate New York.

Since his debut, Johnson has gone on to script several professional victories. He became No. 1 on the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time ever after winning the Genesis Open in February of 2017. With that win, he also became the only golfer besidesÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tiger-woods/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Tiger Woods</a>Â andÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jack-nicklaus/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Jack Nicklaus</a>Â to claim a title in each of their first seasons.

Before defecting to LIV, the golfer won 24 titles on the PGA Tour, including two major wins. He also claimed nine wins on the DP World Tour. Johnson is the first player to win each of the four World Golf Championship events. He has won it six times, and only Tiger Woods has more wins than him.

After joining the Saudi-backed league, Johnson brought home his first LIV silverware at the 2022 LIV Golf Invitational in Boston, and he went on to become the season-long Individual Champion of that year. The following year, he added another title to his winning list after defeating Cameron Smith at the 2023 LIV Golf Tulsa. His latest win came on the Vegas greens, as the 4Aces skipper <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-dustin-johnson-redemption-arc-complete-with-liv-golf-las-vegas-win-brooks-koepka-s-smash-gc-steals-team-title/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won the title of Individual Champion at 2024 LIV Golf Las Vegas</a> after carding a total of 12 under 198 at Las Vegas Country Club.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements</b></h2>
Since joining LIV Golf, DJ has seen exponential growth in his net worth, mostly due to his on-field earnings but his off-field earnings, which included various partnerships and brand endorsements, have been a major contributor as well. Many big brands, including BodyArmor, Hublot, NetJets, Perfect Practice, and TaylorMade have signed Johnson. The Royal Bank of Canada also sponsors the 39-year-old golfer. In February of 2023, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-better-for-us-to-part-ways-liv-golf-defector-dustin-johnson-finally-spills-beans-on-his-separation-with-longtime-sponsor-adidas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Johnson and Adidas mutually ended their long-term partnership.</a>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Move to LIV Golf</b></h2>
In May 2022, it was announced that Johnson would be competing at the LIV Golf Invitational Series from June 9â€“11. Days later, he resigned from the PGA Tour and<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-why-liv-golf-wont-be-paying-dustin-johnson-his-125m-upfront/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> joined LIV for a reported sum of $125 million.</a>

In the Saudi-backed LIV league, Johnson captains the 4Aces GC team. The golfer won his first individual LIV tournament in Boston on September 5, 2022. He got his second win at LIV Tulsa in May of 2023. DJ ended his eight-month-long winless streak with a win at 2024 LIV Golf Las Vegas.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Career stats</b></h2>
The American golfer turned pro in 2007 and earned his PGA Tour in 2008. He has played in 311 PGA Tour events and secured 24 wins on the American circuit. Out of the 311 events in which Johnson participated, he made the cut for 254 of the events. DJ has also been the runner-up 16 times and has 9 third-place finishes. Looking at his top-five finishes, the number comes up to 70 and McIlroy has 116 top-10 finishes.

Johnson has made five appearances (2010, 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2020) at the Ryder as a part of Team USA.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Records</b></h2>
The American golfer has won two majors so far: the 2016 US Open and the 2020 Masters Tournament. The 2016 US Open at Oakmont Country Club was his first win in 29 major appearances.

Dustin Johnson

Who is Dustin Johnson?Â  Dustin Hunter Johnson, also known as DJ, is an American professional golfer who currently plays on LIV Golf. One of the most prominent golfers of current times, Johnson picked up the sport at a very young age. Among his many accomplishments are two major victories and appearances for the US national team. Let&#8217;s dive in to learn about Johnson&#8217;s family, career wins, earnings, and more! Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Early LifeÂ  Dustin Johnson was born on June 22, 1984, in Columbia, South Carolina, to Scott Johnson and Kandee Nee Whisnant. He was the eldest of three children and has two siblings, Austin and Laurie. His father was a professional golfer and ran a pro shop. Johnson&#8217;s grandfather, Art Whisnant, was an All-ACC basketball player in South Carolina. As a result, the golfer was athletic from a very young age. It is no surprise that his father introduced him to the game of golf at the tender age of six. He soon started showing his golfing talent and, in the seventh grade, became a member of the Irmo High School varsity team. Golf &#8211; The 2020 Ryder Cup &#8211; Whistling Straits, Sheboygan, Wisconsin, U.S. &#8211; September 22, 2021 Team USA&#8217;s Dustin Johnson poses for a team group ahead of a practice round REUTERS/Brian Snyder The golfer&#8217;s swing is mostly self-learned. He had grown up witnessing the swings of other players at the Weed Hill Driving Range in Columbia. His father was a Club pro and would take him along to the range. Johnson&#8217;s brother, Austin, is his longtime caddie and was on the bag during his 2020 Masters win. The young Dustin&#8217;s golfing career began to show promise as he set a record at the Coldstream Country Club in Irmo and Golden Hills Golf &amp; Country Club for shooting a pair of 64 on two consecutive days. Johnson later transferred to Dutch Fork High School, and after graduating, he enrolled at Coastal Carolina University to pursue sports management. But his eyes were set on something differentâ€”the PGA Tour. During his university days, Johnson trained under Allen Terrell, who guided the then-young talent toward achieving prestigious titles such as the Monroe Invitational, the Northeast Amateur and All-Big South honors at the Big South Conference Championship in his freshman year. Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Wife and Children The LIV Golfer met his now wife, Paulina Gretzky, daughter of the legendary NHL star Wayne Gretzky and Janet Jones, in 2013. The two started dating just before the 2013 PGA Tour season and by August of that year, Johnson popped the question to Gretzky, and the couple got engaged. Johnson celebrates with partner, son after winning U.S. Open Dustin Johnson (C) of the United States celebrates with partner Paulina Gretzky (L) and their son Tatum after winning the U.S. Open golf tournament at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, on June 19, 2016. Johnson claimed his first major title. PUBLICATIONxINxGERxSUIxAUTxHUNxONLY Then, in 2015, they welcomed their first child, Tatum Gretzky Johnson, on January 19. In the summer of 2017, the family of three became four with their second son, River Jones Johnson, on June 14th. The two finally decided to tie the knot on April 23, 2022. Paulina Gretzky never shied away from showing her love and support for her golf husband, she frequently posts about the couple on her Instagram and also took up the role of his caddie at the Master Par 3 contest in 2023. Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Net Worth 2024Â  According to Forbes, Johnson has an estimated net worth of $107 million. The American has earned an estimated $102 million from prize winnings from tournaments and an additional $ million through endorsements. His $125 million move to LIV has also greatly boosted his earnings. The LIV golfer also made it to the 2023 edition of Forbes&#8217;s The World&#8217;s Highest-Paid Athletes and was given the sixth spot on the list. Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Amateur CareerÂ  Dustin Johnson played collegiate golf at Coastal Carolina University. His grandmother, Carole Jones, had called up the institute&#8217;s coach, Allen Terrell, to explain how badly DJ wished to pursue golf. As an amateur golfer, Johnson won the Monroe Invitational and the Northeast Amateur in 2007. He was also part of the victorious Walker Cup and Palmer Cup teams in 2007. Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Pro career Dustin Johnson turned pro in 2007. He went on to earn his PGA Tour card by tying for 14th place at the 2007 qualifying school. In October of 2008, he won his first PGAT title at the Turning Stone Resort Championship in upstate New York. Since his debut, Johnson has gone on to script several professional victories. He became No. 1 on the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time ever after winning the Genesis Open in February of 2017. With that win, he also became the only golfer besidesÂ Tiger WoodsÂ andÂ Jack NicklausÂ to claim a title in each of their first seasons. Mar 26, 2022; Austin, Texas, USA; Dustin Johnson tees off on the 6th hole during the fourth round of the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play golf tournament. Mandatory Credit: Erich Schlegel-USA TODAY Sports (Courtesy: Reuters) Before defecting to LIV, the golfer won 24 titles on the PGA Tour, including two major wins. He also claimed nine wins on the DP World Tour. Johnson is the first player to win each of the four World Golf Championship events. He has won it six times, and only Tiger Woods has more wins than him. After joining the Saudi-backed league, Johnson brought home his first LIV silverware at the 2022 LIV Golf Invitational in Boston, and he went on to become the season-long Individual Champion of that year. The following year, he added another title to his winning list after defeating Cameron Smith at the 2023 LIV Golf Tulsa. His latest win came on the Vegas greens, as the 4Aces skipper won the title of Individual Champion at 2024 LIV Golf Las Vegas after carding a total of 12 under 198 at Las Vegas Country Club. Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements Since joining LIV Golf, DJ has seen exponential growth in his net worth, mostly due to his on-field earnings but his off-field earnings, which included various partnerships and brand endorsements, have been a major contributor as well. Many big brands, including BodyArmor, Hublot, NetJets, Perfect Practice, and TaylorMade have signed Johnson. The Royal Bank of Canada also sponsors the 39-year-old golfer. In February of 2023, Johnson and Adidas mutually ended their long-term partnership. Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Move to LIV Golf In May 2022, it was announced that Johnson would be competing at the LIV Golf Invitational Series from June 9â€“11. Days later, he resigned from the PGA Tour and joined LIV for a reported sum of $125 million. In the Saudi-backed LIV league, Johnson captains the 4Aces GC team. The golfer won his first individual LIV tournament in Boston on September 5, 2022. He got his second win at LIV Tulsa in May of 2023. DJ ended his eight-month-long winless streak with a win at 2024 LIV Golf Las Vegas. Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Career stats The American golfer turned pro in 2007 and earned his PGA Tour in 2008. He has played in 311 PGA Tour events and secured 24 wins on the American circuit. Out of the 311 events in which Johnson participated, he made the cut for 254 of the events. DJ has also been the runner-up 16 times and has 9 third-place finishes. Looking at his top-five finishes, the number comes up to 70 and McIlroy has 116 top-10 finishes. Johnson has made five appearances (2010, 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2020) at the Ryder as a part of Team USA. Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Records The American golfer has won two majors so far: the 2016 US Open and the 2020 Masters Tournament. The 2016 US Open at Oakmont Country Club was his first win in 29 major appearances. During that tournament, the golfer was rewarded with a one-shot penalty, which came under scrutiny from many players, including Jordan Spieth,Â Rory McIlroy, andÂ Rickie Fowler. With his 72-hole scoring total of 268 at Augusta National, Johnson broke the Masters record of 270. Tiger Woods set the record in 1997 and Jordan Spieth tied it in 2015. His tally of four bogeys was also the fewest in tournament history. DJ has been ranked as the world no. 1 on the OWGR for 64 consecutive weeks and the number 1 spot was held by him for more than 130 weeks.

He garnered attention when he was six by playing with older players. Therefore, Gretzky's love for the game evolved into something special. The first example of recognizing his talents came when he earned the Rookie of the Year in the Metro Junior B Hockey League during the 1975-76 season. As the NHL didn't allow signing players under the age of 20, Gretzky shifted his attention to the WHA but eventually found his way into the major leagues.
