What is a hockey jersey made from?
The jersey of today is made of polyester. The point in a game situation is twofold: firstly, polyester is harder to get hold of in a tackle situation, as it is inherently more 'slippy' than cotton or a cotton-blend. In addition, the increasing use of skin tight shirts further enhances this effect, as there is no loose material for a tackler to get a grip of.
Because it lets the team know it's for them to keep the puck going and making it into the goal

When did goalies in hockey start to wear masks?
The first goalie mask worn full time was in 1959 by Jacque Plante in the NHL. It was a homemade fiberglass mask similar to the one worn by the character Jason Vorhees in the movie series Friday the 13th. Other masks had been used for a short time on and off before then but were usually masks from other sports, such as the fencing mask Elizabeth Graham used in 1927. In the 1970s the goalie mask changed into a cage/helmet combination which is still used by some lower level goalies (high school, college, recreational, etc) and has evolved into the fiberglass or Kevlar masks with a built in cage used by most goalies today in the NHL.
A Power Play occurs after a penalty. Normally, after a penalty, a player goes to the penalty box to serve time for an infraction. That leaves his team shorthanded. So instead of it being 5 on 5, it is 5 on 4, thus giving the full team a power play.
In addition, during a power play, the team with the man advantage will put out a "power play unit" to get the team's best shooters and passers out there to try to score while the other team is short by a man.
The team that is a man short will try to defend by forming a 4 man box, with 2 players by their net, to help the goalie, and two others out at the blue line trying to block shots and cut off passes. The team that is short one man will try to change their "penalty killers" as fast as possible to keep fresh men on the ice. They do this by shooting the puck down the ice at every opportunity to "use up the clock". This forces the attacking team to go back and get the puck and then bring it back up the ice, wasting time as they do so.
That is correct, though i might add that penalty killers are now being used differently than in the past, as they are now much more aggressive, as they try to score even as they are short a player. This is called a "shorhanded goal". They do "use up the clock" as well. When the team that has the man advantage scores, it is called a "powerplay goal".

Has anyone worn number 0 or 00 in hockey?
not possible because it isn't considered an actual number. you must wear between 1 and 99. and 3 and 1/2 either, because it is not a whole number.
Actually your wrong in 1995 to 1996 Martin Biron wore Number 00 with the Buffalo Sabres for three games
I don't think it is. Quite the contrary, especially having seen it being played in the Olympics (since the underwater cameras show what is going on under the water). It's a rough sport, and can be quite brutal.
Water polo is a full contact team sport which requires skill, stamina, technique and a lot of strength. It's a combination of other sports like football, soccer, hockey, basketball, and hockey (fights), but played in 20 feet of water.
This is the amazing part, because not only do the players have to know how to swim, they have keep their heads above water using a technique called "egg-beating" and they need the skill and strength to jump up with the ball (a fairly large and wet one) with one hand to be able to throw it to another team mate, or to try for the goal.
Unlike football, soccer, hockey or basketball, the sport is not one for little kids to start out playing in 'little leagues." The sport is not offered in schools until high school, because of the difficulty (skilled swimmers) and danger (drowning?).
Perhaps some may think it "dumb" or not be as popular as other sports because what looks harmless, or boring, on the surface, is because much of the action is under the water making it almost impossible to see what is going on, since a lot, a whole lot, happens under the water.
I found it fun to watch even without knowing many of the rules, and not being able to see all that was going on under the water. And because of all the pulling, grabbing, and tugging on each other's bathing suits, under the water, many naughty bits are exposed - so to protect the network from FCC fines or other sanctions they are very careful not to capture any of that on camera since much of the Olympics is live. (In fact, this year 2012, a woman's breast was exposed, though briefly, that NBC is considering a film delay so that, or worse, isn't shown on national TV again.
