I recently posted a message to the list about buying Manon Rheaume merchandise for my collection. I received more requests for buying my things than for things I needed. Since that post I have decided to sell my entire collection on Manon. I have almost $3000 worth of cards, replica jersey's, photos, magazines, pucks, game used equipment, everything imaginable!! I have failed to locate just three Classic cards that were ever produced on her. I also have just about every oddball - unlicensed type of card on her. I've been collecting on her since 1992. If you are interested in aquiring any item, or items, or the entire collection for that matter, please E mail me with your request. If you would like my master list sent to you, please send a snail mail address and I will get out a listing as soon as possible.

Because there does not yet exist a national team for ringette in Canada, this tournament will determine the Canadian representative for the 1996 World Ringette Championships in Stockholm, Sweden. Each province sent a representative team made up of elite players, 16 and over. Many of these players recently competed in both the Canada Winter Games as well as the spring time Canadian Ringette Championships. I have included the final round robin standings, followed by game by game results: September 10, 1995 Team W L GF GA Pts Alberta 4 1 26 16 8 Ontario 4 1 26 16 8 Quebec 3 2 19 15 6 B.C. 2 3 15 25 4 Saskatchewan 1 4 14 21 2 Manitoba 1 4 13 22 2 Results - Thursday, September 7 Ontario 5 Quebec 4 (ot) Alberta 7 Sask. 0 Manitob 3 BC 2 Quebec 4 Sask 3 Ontario 5 Manitob 3 BC 7 Alberta 6 Results - Friday, September 8 AB 4 QC 2 ON 8 BC 2 SK 4 MN 3 (ot) BC 1 QC 5 AB 6 MN 3 ON 5 SK 4 (ot) Results - Saturday, September 9 BC 3 SK 2 QC 4 MN 2 AB 4 ON 3 (ot) SEMI-FINAL Results ON 2 QC 1 FINAL Results - Sunday, September 10 AB 3 ON 2 (ot) The final game was probably the best ringette game I have seen in long, long time.

Ellen, The Seattle Wings Women's Hockey Club will be hosting their Annual Spring Tournament again this year. This will be the tournament's 5th year, and it keeps getting bigger & better. We are still negotiating with two area rinks for the exact time, but we hope to once again play for the three days of Easter weekend. Past tournaments have included teams from Alaska, Alberta, British Columbia, California (including yours, the Valkyries), Colorado, Minnesota, Idaho, Oregon, & Washington. The tournament is open to 18 - 24 women's teams (playing at C.A.H.A. "AA" level). Teams must be registered & insured with USAHockey, or C.A.H.A. (or whatever their countries' Ice Hockey governing body.) The Tournament is divided into two divisions, Tier I & II, and each division ends in a playoff, & final (& trophy.) All teams are guaranteed at least three games (or more if we can secure a second rink) plus playoffs if successful. The weekend provides much fun beyond the hockey, with lots to do and see in the Seattle Area. When final details are worked out, hopefully within thirty days, I will post them to the list, and rec.sports.hockey.

Hunter" To: women-in-hockey@plaidworks.com Subject: Women's Hockey in Australia Here's some information about women's hockey in Australia. This information is from the National (Canadian) Team summer bulletin which is put out by the CHA (Canadian Hockey Association): "The first national women's ice hockey final was held in Sydney, Australia in February 1995. Interest in the sport is growing, and organizers are convinced of the viability of national competition. A development league started last year (1994-95), and it consists of under-14, under-16, under-18, and under-21 women's teams. Girls as young as 11 and 12 years of age are taking over the ice, and they are developing well. With women's ice hockey being accepted as an Olympic sport, publicity officer, Carol Freeman, believes it is only going to get better in Australia." I have added this information to my international women's hockey web pages. I now have information on women's hockey in the following countries: United States Finland Sweden Switzerland Norway Germany China Great Britain Russia Latvia Denmark France The Netherlands Japan Italy Australia Some of the information is pretty limited, so if you can provide any more information whatsoever, please email it to me and I'll add it. There are a number of countries for which I currently don't have any information at all. Again, please send any info my way and I'll add a web page. Much thanks to those of you who have already contributed. Currently no info for these countries: Czech Republic Slovakia Ukraine Austria South Africa Yes, there really is hockey in South Africa!! A team has contacted the North York Aeros organization (north of Toronto), and is trying to arrange a trip to Canada for some exhibition games. Initial contact was made over two years ago, but to date nothing has been arranged, as money seems to be the limiting factor.

I'm sending this to the women-in-hockey mailing list too, so perhaps someone there may be able to provide the answer. I do have a little bit of information which might be of interest... Manon just finished playing in a beach roller hockey tournament in California. She was on a women's team that was comprised primarily of Team USA and Team Canada women's ice hockey players. They were the only women's team playing in a men's tournament. I believe that it was held at Hermosa Beach, and it took place Sept 9-10, 1995. Manon will be at the Team Canada Women's tryout camp at the Teen Ranch Arena in Caledon, Ontario, Canada from October 14-20, 1995. Anyone is allowed to watch the tryouts, as far as I know. The next event for Team Canada is the Pacific Rim Tournament which will be held in Vancouver, Canada from March 31-April 6th, 1996. If Manon is selected at the camp, then she'll probably be playing for Team Canada at that tournament. The four countries which will be competing in the tournament are Canada, USA, Japan and China. Some of the other goalies who will be trying out for the Canadian National team are Mary Claude Roy (Team Canada 92), Sarah Couch (Toronto Redwings AA), Lesley Reddon (Team Canada 94, now playing in New Brunswick), and Chantal Toth.

It will also feature some of the stars of the Canadian national team such as Angela James, France St. Louis, Stacey Wilson and Hayley Wickenheiser.

Here's a correction to the above information. The goalies who will be at the Team Canada training camp are: o Manon Rheaume (Detroit Vipers? for 95-96) (Team Canada 92/94) o Mary Claude Roy (not sure of 95-96 team) (Team Canada 92) o Brenda Deneault (Toronto Redwings AA) o Lesley Reddon (in New Brunswick for 95-96 season) (Team Canada 94) o Chantal Toth Sarah Couch is in the Team Canada player "pool" but will not be attending the training camp in Caledon. There are 69 players in the Team Canada player pool, but only 52 of these players will be going to the training camp in Caledon. According to the Team Canada high performance program newsletter... "The camp will allow us to narrow this group even further to a `squad' of players who will receive a personalized training program and closer monitoring as potential Team Canada members for the 1996 Pacific Rim Championship slated for April 1-6, 1996 in Vancouver." I don't think I have mentioned it here before, but I will not be trying out for Team Canada again, due to a groin/hip injury that just doesn't want to go away. I'm not disappointed about this because I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to play for Team Canada. It was a dream come true for me, and a memory that I'll treasure forever.

Hi folks -- Just a note to introduce myself. My name is Ali Lemer, and I'm from New York City. I've been playing ice hockey for about 4 years now, although I've missed quite a bit of time due to lack of funds and injuries. I play any skating position except centre. I played for Columbia University (my alma mater) for a few years, on a club team (I was the only female skater in an otherwise all-male checking league, and it wasn't easy, I can tell you), and now play at open games and clinics when I can. I even went to hockey camp for a few weeks (Huron Hockey School), where I was, naturally, one of the only girls and subject to a fair share of obnoxiousness. I used to play on house teams in the local rink in the summers, but don't really have the time to do so anymore. I even assistant-coached this past spring (a co-ed kids' team), but don't really have the time for that now, either. It's really gratifying to see women's hockey exploding as it is now. When I started, I was one of two women playing hockey that I knew of in the whole city (the other was a goaltender who also played for Columbia), and I felt pretty isolated. Now I see girls and women of all ages playing everytime I go to the rink, and almost joined an all-women league! (The commute was too hard, though.) A new development in my hockey life is officiating. I just refereed my first 2 games yesterday (got my official USA Hockey crest and card and everything), and it's a lot tougher than I thought it would be (and I thought it would be pretty tough to begin with). I was just wondering if there were any other female officals out there who might be able to give me some tips or share stories or what-have-you. I'm very glad this list exists; it'll be nice to be able to talk to people who won't exclaim, "YOU play hockey?!? I didn't know girls could play hockey!" :-) -- Ali. P.S. I'm also a dedicated Rangers fan, although I don't follow the NHL very closely anymore (I'd rather be playing my own games than watching someone elses!).

He's asked that it be posted to this list. Any direct remarks or requests for reprints should go to joeclark@hookup.net. However, I'd be interested in general reactions to this article--Laurie lsefton@plaidworks.com "All the best defencemen have goalie eyes." ----- start of article ----- Chix with stix After only about a hundred years, women's hockey is finally getting some respect by Joe Clark "When it comes to contact sports, the male argument always ends the same way: 'What about her poor, floppy, delicate breasts?'" - From Amazons: An Intimate Memoir by the First Woman Ever to Play in the National Hockey League by Cleo Birdwell (nom de plume de Don DeLillo) If a cultural issue gets lampooned on The Simpsons, you know it's arrived. In an episode late last year, Lisa Simpson, facing a first-ever F on her report card if she didn't take up some kind of sport, found herself being groomed to mind the net for her brother's team. "Lisa," Homer says, "if the Bible has taught us nothing else - and it hasn't - it says girls should stick to girls' sports, such as hot-oil wrestling, foxy boxing, and such-and-such." "I think women should be able to play any sport men play," ripostes Marge, "but hockey is so violent and dangerous!" That pretty much sums up the conventional wisdom about ye olde fairer sexe sharing the conceptual and Zambonified ice with Rocket Richard and 99. But we live in the post-Manon Rheaume era, a time in which women's hockey is growing phenomenally fast - and the ensuing friction between the old boys' network at all levels of hockey and female upstarts tends to produce more heat than light. Herewith, an examination of some of the prevailing idees fixes of women's hockey. * Women are new to the game: Not so - as Brian McFarlane's definitive book Proud Past, Bright Future: One Hundred Years of Canadian Women's Hockey documents, women decked out in sweaters and long skirts were playing shinny (skirty?) as far back as 1891, and some evidence puts the earliest game two years before that. And those women weren't klutzes, either: As the Ottawa Citizen commented in 1896, "That the Alpha and Rideau Ladies Hockey teams can play the game was well demonstrated at the Rideau rink last night. Both teams played grandly and surprised hundreds of the sterner sex who went to the match expecting to see many ludicrous scenes and have many good laughs. Indeed, before they were there very long, their sympathies and admiration had gone out to the teams. The men became wildly enthusiastic." In 1927, a female goaltender, Elizabeth Graham, wisely decided that her nose, cheekbones, and eyes were worth protecting and donned a wire mask - fully 32 years before Jacques Plante began wearing a mask in all his NHL games. The Rivulettes, a team from Preston, Ontario, ruled the roost in the 1930s, with a flabbergasting won-lost record of 348-2. In the wake of Rheaume's 1991 ascension to pro hockey in Tampa Bay, Erin Whitten's similar ascension to the Adirondack Red Wings in '93, and , women's hockey has blown up like a sun going nova. U.S. Amateur Hockey, the sport's Olympic-level governing body, reports that women-only teams (composed of teenagers, usually) increased in number from 149 in 1990-1991 to 417 in 1993-1994. Numbers of players grew more sharply: 5,533 females in 1990-1991 versus 12,392 in 1993-1994. And those figures don't include girls and women playing on boys' and men's teams, which brings up another idee fixe. * "Integrated" teams will destroy women's hockey: That, at least, was the contention of those opposing the 1985 case of Justine Blainey, a hockey-loving 12-year-old who could find no all-girl teams in her suburban Toronto community and lobbied to play on a boys' team, assuming she met fair standards of competence. The team refused, and Blainey's family launched a sex-discrimination complaint with the Ontario Human Rights Commission, which ruled in her favour in 1986. Various appeals took the case all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada, but Blainey ultimately prevailed. The fight, however, did not merely pit male players and coaches against women; women themselves disagreed sharply over the proper course of women's and girls' hockey. "Full integration for all ages and in all sports will mean drastically reduced opportunities for female athletes," wrote Fran Rider of the Ontario Women' Hockey Association in a 1988 magazine article. "With uncontrolled emigration of girls to boys' teams, girls' teams will fold, and many girls unwilling or unable to compete with boys will have no chance to play. This is equality?" Significantly, Blainey's supporters did not argue that all-female teams should be prohibited, only that girls should be allowed to play on boys' teams if they so chose and/or if there were no local girls' teams. And no one was markedly in favour of a kind of reverse affirmative action that would allow boys on girls' teams. The dust has settled since that debate took place, and vocal proponents on both sides of the question in the 1980s agree that girls' and women's teams have settled into both integrated and segregated camps, with neither side displacing or threatening the other. For example, at last summer's Gay Games, ice-hockey events included all-female teams (numbering nine), all-male teams (four), and mixed teams (seven); some women played on both women's and mixed teams. There are, of course, a host of reasons for a male/female split beyond mere availability of all-girl teams. Says Helen Lenskyj, associate professor in the department of adult education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education and an early Blainey supporter: "You can say all these wonderful things, as I sometimes do, on how the research shows that female-only sports tends to operate on somewhat of a different ethos than men's sport - there's more emphasis on fun and enjoyment and cooperation, and less emphasis on competition, that sort of thing." Still, some girls actually like competition, and Lenskyj says "it's not my role as a feminist to say you shouldn't want to play that nasty competitive sport." And that brings up another preconception. * Women aren't tough enough for hockey: Lisa Simpson was tough bordering on cruel ("Look! Ralph Wiggum lost his shinguard! Hack the bone! Hack the bone!"), but she's not exactly real. As McFarlane writes in his book, "Size and strength may be important factors in basketball and football, but in hockey they are both overrated, especially in women's hockey which, unlike the men's game, is devoid of goons and enforcers. What women lack in strength, some athletes contend, they make up for in endurance and toughness. If women can deal with the stress and pain of childbirth they can deal with anything that happens in a hockey rink. They have, in a word, guts." "You do get to that level from a strength and a power standpoint [where] there are differences between the male and the female," says Karen Kay, head coach of women's hockey at the University of New Hampshire and head coach of the U.S. national women's team. But, Kay points out, there are more variants of hockey than the NHL-style rock-'em-sock-'em that seems to dominate the popular conception of the game. Take women's elite amateur hockey, in which Canada has taken the gold, the U.S. the silver, and Finland the bronze in each of the world championships in 1990, 1992, and 1994. In the '92 playoffs in Finland, Canada whumped the U.S. 8-0. Manon Rheaume made it to the all-star teams in '92 and '94, the same year Erin Whitten was named best goalkeeper of the series. The women's elite game, unsurprisingly, compares favourably with the men's elite game - more physical than recreational hockey but marred by rather less wilful brutality than the NHL. "We don't have full checking, but we do have body contact," Kay says. "You see a lot of riding out on the boards and angling people off, same as you do in the men's game, but you don't see the fighting or the follow-through you see in the men's [pro] game." And it's not as though there isn't incidental but potentially bruising body contact in women's elite basketball and soccer, including the European pro leagues. NHL hockey per se may literally be king of the hockey hill at the moment, but itis not the only standard of comparison whether you're talking about sex-segregated or -integrated teams - and that brings up the final stereotype. * On a guys' team, women are too small to play anything but goal: It's no coincidence that Rheaume, Whitten, and Dyer play goal in the NHL and not some other position. It's a widely-held belief that, between the goalposts, size and brute strength are less valuable than quick reflexes and agility. Goal, the Toronto Star's Rosie DiManno wrote in 1992, is "the only position in hockey where an adult female can realistically keep up with an adult male." While strength is not readily quantifiable without exhaustive tests, the results of which would likely not be made public, size is quantifiable and the stats are available. Tallying up the heights and weights of current NHL players and all the women on the medal-winning Canadian, U.S., and Finnish world's teams (filtering out duplicates) reveals that not all NHLers are Shaquille O'Neal-esque, nor are all elite women Linda Hunt-esque. Average Minimum Maximum Median Women Height, in. 65 48 70 65 Weight, lb. 139 92 172 139 H+W index 205 140 242 203 Men Height, in. 73 66 78 73 Weight, lb. 194 155 235 195 H+W index 266 223 313 266 ("H+W index" assigns one point for each inch of height and each pound of weight. It's a way of averaging out the relationship between height and weight.) There are 35 NHL players smaller (in H+W index) than the largest world-championship woman. Now, that's a small fraction of the NHL's 600-odd men, but it ain't zero. On the other hand, the smallest NHLer is bigger than 90 elite women. While these results do suggest that stereotypes about the impact of body size on hockey carry some weight, they also show that exceptions exist. If there's room in the NHL for 35 woman-sized men, there ought to be room for a similar number of woman-sized women. NHL coaches, owners, and scouts (including the first female scout, the San Jose Sharks' Deborah Wright) are quite simply running out of excuses. But we're not holding our breath here: By the time women in pro hockey are commonplace, Lisa Simpson will be grown up enough to try out for the Springfield Squids of the NHL.

My name is Susan and I'm not Erroll. Erroll, you see, is a woman I created in '93 to star in a book I was writing, about a girl who gets recruited to play men's Division I ice hockey at a school suspiciously like the one where I was doing my Master's degree. Turns out that my agent wants me to write a series of books about Erroll, for young adult audiences (ages 11-16). We're going to start with her in eighth grade and follow her through her sophomore year of college. I have rough plot ideas worked out for each book, but any stories or ancedotes, good, bad, or otherwise, that you can send me will be greatly appreciated. Any Web addresses will be great, too. My agent and I have talked about launching a Web page to correspond with the publication (and possible screen rights) of the book(s).

Our girls team is for kids from 11 to 16 years of age. They have played some older teams and done very well. I think this is a good time to get the girls playing together because up to this age they are pretty comfortable playing on the boys teams. Once the guys start getting a lot bigger, it's probably best to branch the girls off to allow them to develop their own brand of game (which usually ends up stronger on the real skating and puck-handling skills, rather than the 'bashing'-- though not necessarily). Anyway, I was looking for info on teams in this younger age range that would be interested in playing against our girls with the goal of challenging each other to develop their ice hockey skills.

The first period began at a fast pace with some end to end plays and some hard hits from the onset. Bracknell suffered penalties at both 02:37 and 05.42 with Guildford however not able to score on the powerplay. At 06:08 Guildford lost two players in the penalty box giving Bracknell a short five on three situation which they failed to convert. It was at 09:05 however that Bracknell scored the first goal of the game due to a Guildford defensive error. Although the Lightning seemed to have a slight edge on possession during the first period they were out shot 13 - 4 although there were no other goals. The second period again sustained a fast pace with the possession of the puck being shared but again Bracknell out shot Guildford 16 - 6 by the 30:00 mark. By this time Guildford found themselves 3 - 0 down following two good goals from Bracknell at 23:27 and 28:32. The momentum again swung in favour of the Lightning for the third period with most of the action coming in the Bracknell zone. 31:06 saw the first goal from the Lightning when Shelley Owen scored her first Guildford goal with a wrist shot from the blue line into the top right hand corner of the Bracknell net. At 40:22 Guildford again found themselves on the powerplay when a Bracknell player received a 2 + 2 penalty. This was followed at 43:18 with another Bracknell penalty to give Guildford a five on three play. This did not lead to a goal mainly due to the play of the Bracknell netminder. Both teams having played hard and fast throughout the 45 minutes showed the final score to be 3 - 1 in favour of Bracknell. The score was a good reflection of the game with both teams having missed a few opportunities. Player of the match for Guildford went to Gill Barton having faced 36 shots in total.

I had a long-distance call this morning from my eight-year-old friend Martha. "Hi Louise! Do you know what? I played in a GAME this morning!" "Oh, good! How was it?" "I shot the puck, and I played left wing, and I can really stop now, and it was fun. The other team was boys, and we got one point. They got five. We play another game on Thursday." "That's great, Mar. Were you excited before the game?" "No-o. I was scared. But I'm not now, because it was really fun." "What colour are your team shirts? What number is on your shirt?" "The shirts are red, and um, my number is the answer to life the universe and everything [giggle]" "oh, 42?" Martha's Mum then got on the phone and told me that fortunately Martha finds it much easier getting up for hockey than getting up for school, and then Martha's dad took the phone and said that he thought Mar's team, all novice-age beginners, improved a lot during the game (their first), and that it was fun to watch. I had to hang up at this point, because I had to meet the coaches of our university club teams at the rink to drop off scoresheets for this afternoon's games (our advanced team is playing Michigan State University and our beginners are playing Bowling Green State University.) But my call from Martha just made my day, as a reminder of why I'm involved in female hockey. Louise Mallory *Louise C.

What age categories are you thinking of including in your tournament? Do the hockey organizations in Philadelphia use the USA Hockey age divisions of 19 and under (midget), 15 and under (peewee), and 12 and under (squirt)? I don't know how it will complicate your plans that USA Hockey divides Pennsylvania somewhere down the middle - Western Pennsylvania is part of Mid-Am District, and I don't remember the name of the district you're in. Since you apply for tournament sanction permits through your district, will you need to have the tournament in the same district the host teams play in? A "state-wide" tournament can't be used as a playdown toward District and National championships, so you might find it better to invite teams from other states as well. Talk to the Girls'/Women's Section Rep for your district for advice about applying for sanction, getting contact addresses for teams, and other tournament organizing details. Some of the things that are important to consider when planning a tournament include: Refereeing. It is essential that your referees be above reproach. This includes impeccable uniforming, familiarity with the rules you are using (they should understand how to call a no-checking game), and respect for the athletes. Avoid hiring any referees who have no experience with female hockey. Hockey organizations with a commitment to development of the sport (Brampton, for example, or Mississauga, or Hamilton, in Ontario, Fraser/Team Michigan in Michigan) always make an effort to develop competent female officials and to have them work tournaments. Scheduling. You should have a small "cushion" of extra ice time, to allow for injuries, overtime/tie-breaking shots, and other delays. Your timekeepers, referees, and volunteers should all be aware of the importance of running on time. Decide on the length of the warm-up, put it in the rules handout, and stick to it. If you only have 4 dressing rooms, insist that teams clear their dressing rooms 20 minutes after their games, and have volunteers check that the rooms are clean. When you prepare the schedule, try to accommodate the teams which travel the farthest. (For example, you might have local teams playing their first games on Friday night, or playing in the earliest Saturday times.) Make sure the rules for determining first place and tie-breaking are clearly explained. Try to find out as much as you can about the calibre of the various teams (talk to their opponents and to convenors of other tournaments, ask them to give some game scores etc), and try to produce fair matchups. Hospitality. Provide maps of the area to out-of-town teams. Recommend some economical places to stay and some restaurants. Make sure that the arena snack bar is expecting crowds. In your search for tournament sponsors, try to collect some coupons from fast-food restaurants and include these in the team packages. Have all the tournament committee members wear name tags and be visible. Make signs to show new arrivals where the players should check in, where the manager can get a dressing room key, and where one can go to ask questions. Send press releases to the local media ahead of time and immediately after the championships. Make sure the out-of-town teams know where to get skates sharpened and where they can buy tape, mouthguards, chin-straps, sticks .... Income and expenses. Solicit tournament sponsors from local businesses, the recreation departments of municipalities (where the arena is, where your players live), service clubs (especially female ones), and your players' families. For a major sponsor you could include their name in the tournament name, or name one of the awards after them (e.g. The Play It Again Sports MVP Award ...). You can provide program ad space for all your sponsors. (At the Fraser tournament, they have pages and pages of "Good luck Jenny and Peewee Team-mates from Mom, Dad, and Bucky" ads ...). You could sell tournament souvenirs (t-shirts or something), or have a bake sale, or a raffle (check licenses required). You could ask a cell-phone/walkie-talkie company to lend you some equipment and air-time, for communications between the volunteers. In my opinion, it is counter-productive to charge admission to the parents and fans, because you want the tournament to be a showcase of female hockey to your community. Some organizations do charge admission, but this also means having volunteers to check tickets/hand stamps for every player or spectator all day long. My own criteria for a well-run tournament also include frozen pucks, adequate parking, clean bathrooms with enough toilet paper all day long, information available about the host hockey program, and well-balanced games. Whether or not you are able to put on a tournament this season, start planning now for next season. Set the dates, book the ice time, send notices in to USA Hockey so your tournament will get listed in the magazine and in the Girls'/Women's Newsletter. Visit other tournaments and talk to the convenors. Have fun!

Girls from all over the Bay Area and Central Valley are invited to join. Many of the members of this team are already skating on Boys' Squirt and Mite teams in Nor-Cal, and the schedule is organized to allow and encourage their continued participation on their regular teams. Participants don't have to be skating on an existing team, and girls participating in in-house programs are welcome too. The team has secured ice for two practices per month, at the newly-opened Oakland U. S. Ice Arena. Games will be scheduled about once per month, most likely against other Nor-Cal teams. The game schedule has not been set yet. The team will be registered with USA Hockey, and USA Hockey rules will be followed. There are still openings on this team. If you are interested, please contact the Oakland-Berkeley JHC at 510-869-3890. You may also send me e-mail (mailto:cpc@chkpt.COM), although my status is just a parent with e-mail access.

I'm looking >for any information out there relative to getting help in scheduling of ice >time, i.e., how can we get equity in scheduling in a city-owned facility? You are in the most fortunate of situations with a municipally owned facility. (Except, possibly, for a school or university club in the US, and a school-owned rink, where a case can be made for Title IX to apply). First, do what you can to document the extent of inequity. How many players do you have? How many of your players live in the municipality? How many are adults and how many are children? How would your organization grow if you were able to provide ice time for more teams? And if your ice time were more convenient? (incompatible with school schedules, inappropriate for small children, etc.) Information such as "Here are the names and addresses of 85 of our players who live in the municipality" and "Here are the names and addresses of 25 prospective players that we had to turn away last year because our teams are full" or "Here are the names and addresses of 15 local girls who are play in other municipalities/on boys' teams because we can't provide them with enough ice time" is very helpful. Are there problems getting adequate private changing space for your female players, coaches, and referees? Do the arena workers allow boys' games to run overtime, but call curfew on your ice time? Do the other organizations using your facility have preferential treatment in any other ways, such as allocation of storage space, bulletin board space, or ownership of the snack-bar concession? Notice these things and document them as well. It helps your case to be sure you're following procedures correctly about applying for ice time, paying promptly, giving notice when cancelling, and so on. (Don't give the rink manager/recreation department staff a chance to say to their bosses "Those women always pay late" or "This is a new organization and I don't think it's going to last - we shouldn't disrupt our regular customers for them" or "They are taking advantage by having adults play in times reserved for minor players" or "Half this team doesn't even live in the city".) You may want to consider adopting a policy that your teams don't play male teams, or at least that your teams do not use their home ice time to play male teams - because if you are insisting that it is important for your municipality to provide facilities access for *female* hockey, (despite the fact that there are opportunities for girls to play boys' hockey in your city), your actions should be consistent in demonstrating that your organization is for girls/women who want to play *female* hockey. Work at increasing your visibility and credibility in the community. Would the community newspapers include your game scores or reports if you brought them in every week? Send press releases before and after important games, to members of the media, recreation department staff, and elected officials. Make sure there's something about your program posted on bulletin boards in the arenas, in the swimming pool, in the schools, in the scout-hall. Do recruiting displays in malls. Everybody in your city should be aware that "we have girls' hockey here." Learn "who is who" among municipality employees. Do the managers of each facility report to the Director of Culture and Recreation, who usually makes the ice time allocations? Have the arena managers usually been doing their own scheduling? Learn to whom the employees report: who are the officials that you and your fellow voters elect? Is there a "Recreation Committee" made up of some members of city council? Does the Director of Recreation and Parks report directly to City Council? Find out the names of the recreation committee members and other city councillors. Invite them to your games. If any of your parents is acquainted with them, encourage informal lobbying. [In my home town, the first time my mother made a presentation to the recreation committee to expand our program from two teams for women to include teams for girls of all ages, she found out that one committee member lived across the street from a 13-year-old would-be player, who spent hours every day taking slapshots alone in her driveway. That committee member understood immediately that Mum's proposal was about giving Debbie a place to play.] Prepare a document for the recreation committee outlining your requests for next season and the justification for them (why you need the time, and why it would be fair). Ask to make a presentation to the recreation committee. If you don't get what you need from the recreation committee the first year, continue to develop a respectful relationship with them while working on explaining your situation to other council members, members of your community, and the press. Make sure that your parents and your adult players understand the issues and what they can do to help. Be persistent! Louise *Louise C.

This is a very informed piece. I'm going to print it and file it for possible future use. My girl's and women's team had a bit of a problem with our ice time last year, and only required some persistance to solve. The previous year we have ice time at noon Sundays. We always pay for our ice time promptly up front. The rink, which is a county facility, but most of our players do not live in that county, told us we could either have 6:00pm Saturday nights or 11:30 pm Sunday night. The rink apparently wanted to add some figure skating patch time at noon, and we argued that we had the right of first refusal for that ice slot. We also argued that a) why was our team (we were the only women's team who bought time at this rink) the one being displaced? b) why wasn't everyone moved back an equal amount? and c) if they wanted to move us, they should offer ice of a more equal time. While some of us were beginning to call a local news station (if the situation were resolved, they could still do a story on women's hockey. If not, they could report on that.), others proceeded to call the rink's management daily, escalating to hourly. That was for the '94-95 season. Our efforts paid off, and they gave us our noon slot back. One employee warned us that we might not get it this year (95-96), but we did without a problem.

I help manage and coach my wife's Senior "C" team and we thought it would be neat to see a game this weekend. Please respond ASAP as we are leaving Thursday morning. A game Friday or Saturday night would be preferred. Also please give the location of the arena and a little bit about the teams involved. Please feel free to mention anything else of interest that we might want to see when in Toronto. Thanks Tom Scanlon MGR, SharpShooters!

Is there anybody out there who knows about female teams in the Cleveland area?? I used to play Hockey in Germnayt, on the lowest "just go on the ice and have fun"-level, and then I came here to the states and I was sure that I could improve my skills and make all my colleagues jealous when I go back to Germany in 1997. But - it was not easy at all. It took me five weeks to get the first contact person, another two weeks to talk to someone (instead of jsut leaving message on answering mashines), and once I really managed to go to Cleveland to see a team practice - only to find out that my information was wrong and that there was no one at all. See - I am depressed. I really want to play again. Can anybody help me? I'll go back home for Christmas, but after Jan 15, 96 i'll be bakc here - longing for a good training session or even a fun-game. BTW, I'm 31 - and onthe skill level of "kindergarten". As I said - I just want to have a good time. Thanks for any help or support you can give me.

I am 16 years old, and I have wanted to play ice hockey for as long as I can remember. Does anyone know about a women's hockey team around Portland, OR? My dad used to play, so he said that he'd teach me, but it would be easier if we had a team to play with. I've played "Gym Hockey" as I call it in P.E., and that got me excited about the sport. My friends all think I'm crazy to start now, but it's never too late to learn something new. I can ice skate just fine, and I've been working on my hockey stops, but I need training. If anyone knows any information, please send it to jenna@sma.rain.com I would appreciate anything. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Nov 1995 19:44:20 -0500 From: TJSCANLON@aol.com Subject: Toronto Red Wings vs. Miss. Chiefs I saw a womens AA game this weekend in Toronto featuring the Toronto Red Wings vs. Mississigua (sp) Chiefs. It was a very entertaining game, with the wings snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. The goalie for the chiefs played an inspired game, but came up on the short end. The crowd seemed to be partisan to the Chiefs, or at least the Chiefs fans were more vocal. My wife and I taped the game to show her "C" team. I think they will be inspired. I was dissappointed in not seeing Andria Hunter playing. I would of liked to put a face/player with an e-mail address:-) Where were you Andria, Marc Ouellette said you were on that team? Anyway, we enjoyed our trip to Toronto and hope to come back. I would like any information or contact person for the Brampton Tournament if anyone knows it.

In the 1995-96 tournament listing that I have, it says that all divisions will be participating in the Brampton tournament. If anyone needs information on a particular tournament in Ontario, please ask. There are 40 tournaments from across Ontario listed ... too many to type them all in! :-) ---------- There will be an exciting game between the University of Toronto Varsity Blues and the University of Guelph Gryphons tomorrow (Wednesday) night. Guelph is the defending OWIAA champion (Ontario University League). The game will be played at 7:30 pm at Varsity Arena on Bloor Street in Toronto. Admission is $3 for University of Toronto Student and $5 for other people. Current Canadian National team members who will be participating are Lori Dupuis (#66) and Laura Schuler (#14) for the U of Toronto, and Cassie Campbell (#77 or #7) for Guelph. The coach for the University of Toronto (Karen Hughes) is an assistant coach for Team Canada. The University of Toronto travels to Yale this weekend to play two exhibition games. We play against Brown University at 7:00 pm on Saturday Nov 25, and against Yale University at 10:00 am on Sunday Nov 26.

Gina ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 Dec 1995 14:41:22 -0500 (EST) From: "Bridget J. Bates" Subject: U of Toronto Hockey Hello! My name is Bridget Bates and I am a member of the University of Toronto Varsity Blues Womens ice hockey team. We are members of the OWIAA which stands for Ontario Women's Inter-collegiate Athletic Association. Our team is doing well this year. We have played and won seven league games which puts us in first place with fourteen points. I am proud to be a member of the Varsity league there are some AWESOME players in this league. I am writing to tell you about one of them. Many of you may have seen the name Andria Hunter flash through this women-in-hockey news. Andria does a lot to support women's hockey through this internet, but her best support is shown by her attitude and skill level on the ice. Last year when I joined the Varsity Blues I was able to play a few games as a right winger on Andria's line. She taught me more in that season about skills, team play, and personal goals than I have ever learned throughout my thirteen years of playing hockey. If you ever see Andria play you will notice that she heads "straight to the goal with purpose in every step". She is a consistent role model for all of her team mates. I want to thank Andria and compliment her for all of her efforts. With Andria's lingering injuries she has still been able to surpass any efforts of any player in our league. Last week she was awarded the University of Toronto athlete of the week, the OWIAA athlete of the week and then the CFTO athlete of the week. She has also captured the leading scorer title in the OWIAA league with about 27 points in seven games. The best part of Andria is her modesty. I am playing with my life by writing this about her and I am sure she will make my computer explode after mailing this, but I feel that as much as she is modest she needs to be fully recognized as one of the very best female ice hockey players in the world. It is unfortunate that team Canada is missing out on her due to her injuries. When our team congratulates her she is always quickly passing the credit to other team mates. She is a true hockey hero and I know that she will continue to excell in this great sport. If you get a chance to see Andria play hockey I am sure you will not be disappointed. If you have young female hockey players in your life bring them out to see her play. If you write to her I am sure she will post her schedual of games. She is a great player and an awesome person. One that I am honoured to be around. Good luck in all your hockey efforts and thank you to all of you who have participated in this women-in-hockey.

Hunter" Subject: Forwarded article: ECAC Women: the new release * From: Richard Hungerford * Subject: ECAC Women: the new release I wanted to express my pleasure with the new expanded ECAC Women's weekly release. The people at Brown and the ECAC are doing a great job. The added detail of the Honor Roll and the short game summaries are very enjoyable. Merci! I have suggested to the people who put out the release that they consider adding a Defensive player of the week award, like the WCHA. Now I love offense more than most people, but I feel defenders and defensive forwards deserve some credit, and not just when they get a couple of points. To me stats do not tell the whole story. Having attended both Harvard Women's games last weekend, I find it hard to believe that AJ Mleczko is player of the week. Padding one's stats against a non-league side can hardly be much of an achievement. Throw in a few cross-checks and I really don't get it. Someone on UNH had to have a heck of game in defeating Colby in a league match and holding the USA Selects to only a 3-5 loss. My point is, what with Info-Hockey-L and various web sites, I feel a more informed choice could be made. Using stats is not always the best concept. _____________ / good shooting hungerf _____________/ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Dec 1995 14:01:21 -0800 From: junior@televar.com Subject: tournament formatting HELP !!!

Have a partial round robin where each team plays 4 of the other 5 teams, and give awards based on standings after the round robin. An advantage of this is that no team will play the same team twice. 2. Have a partial round robin where each team plays 3 of the other 5 teams. Based on standings after the round-robin, have 1 play 2 for 1st place, 3 play 4 for 3rd, and 5 play 6 for 5th. An advantage of this is that the awards are determined directly by winning one game, rather than by counting up goals for and against, etc. 3. Change the format. Recruit 2 more teams, or reduce your entry fee and offer 3-games-guaranteed, or do something else creative. This 4-games-a-team assumes that you've got 12 game-lengths of ice time plus enough of a cushion for injuries, tie breaking, and so on. Do you really have this much ice? Why not 9 slightly-longer games (3 per team) instead? Or use the extra ice time to put on a clinic, have an open skate for players and fans, have shootout competitions and skate races, or invite two elite female teams to play an exhibition game? If you're in an isolated area and these 6 teams are the only ones able to travel to your tournament, consider putting on a Jamboree instead. In a Jamboree, all participating players are divided up onto fair teams for the day. That way, a wider age/skill range of players can participate in competition, and individual players can play even if the rest of their team can't. Louise *Louise C.

Just to quickly introduce myself, my name is Joan Jeffries from Charlotte, NC. I have just agreed to play in a women's hockey league that is forming in the Charlotte area. The response to the league has been tremendous as 32 women have already stressed interest and more and more are calling everyday. We are very pleased to have Manon Rheaume offer to play with us in her free time and assist us all in learning more about the game. The 1996 year will be spent teaching all of us how to skate and learning the fundamentals of the game. Hopefully we will be ready for competition in 1997. It has already been a great learning experience for me and we haven't even had our first practice. If there is anyone else out there in the NC rea who would be interested in joining this team or getting involved in any way, please contact me. We'd be more that happy to have you!

In the long run, you will be much more successful if you start a *female hockey organization*, with board members who are all interested in promoting female hockey. You should not have to justify your need for ice time to the board of a boys' hockey organization. You should apply for your own ice time. I believe this very strongly, because of my observations over the last 20 years in Ontario as well as the last 5 years in Mid-Am District of USA Hockey. The female teams that are part of boys' hockey organizations are "trapped" in an unhelpful structure. They don't get as much good ice time as the girls' teams which are in separate female organizations. Often they are not "allowed" to expand their female-hockey programs to younger ages, or to recreational programs, or to adults, because of rules set by the boys' hockey organization. In female hockey organizations, young women are trained and encouraged to become referees and coaches and hockey organizers. In female hockey organizations, all the fund-raising money earned by female hockey supporters goes back to female hockey. Please, start a female hockey organization instead.

As a referee I feel compelled to inform you that as of this season, USAHockey changed this rule. You are now allowed to list a maximum of 20 *players*, with at least one being a goaltender. Meaning you can have 19 skaters if you wish. I realize that this does not solve your larger problem, but at least you can squeeze one more skater on the bench. Your other option, which has been taken here in Seattle, is to split into two (or more) teams. The Seattle Women's Hockey Club, formed seven years ago, started with six players, and have since grown to just short of a three team league. They have a "tier 1" team, the Wings,that play in the Vancouver B.C.-based Lower Mainland Female Hockey League, Senior AA level, travels to play other USAHockey senior teams, and plans to represent Washington state in the USAHockey Nationals this year. The "tier 2" team: The PuckHawks (formerly the Orcas) also plays in the L.M.F.H.L, plays other tier 2 teams in the Pacific Northwest (though few and far between: Spokane, Bellingham, Portland, Sun Valley, etc.) Next year, if they can convince three more women to play they will spilt into a three team intramural league, in addition to the travel teams. None of these intramural teams will be close to having a full 20-player bench, but the focus is more on player development and individual ice-time. If any teams out there are interested in playing a series of games in the PNW (especially if you plan on traveling to watch the Pacific Rim Women's hockey tourney in Vancouver this spring) contact Susan Goolsbee @ 206-782-3191. She could arrange for as many games as you could play in Seattle WA & Vancouver B.C. obstupid: USAHockey game sheets have 21 "player" spaces on them, one more than is allowed by the rules. It is obvious whoever laid out the sheet before it went to the press had little or no knowledge of the rule book. In my experience as a referee I have had more than one team (usually in men's recreational leagues) wonder why they can't have 21 players.

We started a year ago as a women's clinic for women who had little or no experience with either hockey or skating. Originally, there were about 12 regulars who ranged from moms with no skating experience who have kids that play to women who had figure skated but never played hockey, a real mishmash of ages and abilities. Since our rink is outdoors, our season ends around March when the weather gets warmer. Some of the original 12 women continued to play at other rinks in the NY area and then began to play roller hockey over the summer (but that's another story). Our program is now in its second year and we have grown to about 30 women. We are split into a travel team, which plays at roughly a Division E level, and a beginner's clinic. Due to the lack of women's teams in the area, we are looking for other teams to play within a day's drive of NYC.

We have found a good formula here in Minn. which I will share with everyone. Because almost all "boys" associations (as they would wish them to stay!) are non-profit organizations - in other words they are tax exempt and because of this they cannot be discriminatory to girls and girls' teams. Also, a lot of associations have money generating means with pull-tabs, etc. - gambling $ - which is run through the State in which they operate and again, because of this they cannot be discriminatory to girls. Also, ALL USA Hockey affiliate associations sign an agreement with USA Hockey that says they cannot discriminate. Now, there are 3 reasons why they ABSOLUTELY CANNOT discriminate against girls playing hockey. #1 they would lose their tax exempt, non-profit status, #2 they would probably lose their gambling $$ (if most states are the same as Minn. that is) and #3 USA Hockey will not let them discriminate. (See me for your local USA Hockey District Director if you do not know who it is). This, of course won't work with women's teams because most associations are youth associations. Also, the reason we have so many high school teams in Minn. now (52 this year) is because of the Federal Ruling called Title IX. ALL schools have to comply with Title IX. Basically, the Minnesota State High School League came up with rules they consider to be fair in providing for Title IX in the State of MN - and one of them they considered was "if a school has an ice sport for boys, they have to provide an ice sport for girls." Whether it be Ringette (which is how we actually got in-roads into this - thank you, Ringette!) or Hockey - they have to provide it! All the girls have to show is a demonstrated interest! If anyone has another perspective or questions or comments about mine- I welcome them!

Ewell" Subject: Princeton vs. Brown/PC Women's hockey fans were treated to two great games at Baker Rink this weekend, with Princeton playing Brown and Providence and both games coming down to the last 10 seconds. Brown beat Princeton, 4-3 in overtime, with a goal with 0:05 left. The game-winner was a rebound in front. Liz Hill played tremendously in goal for Princeton, making over 30 saves and keeping the otherwise overmatched Tigers in the game. (Mandy Pfeiffer helped out as well, scoring three goals). Overall, Brown was too much -- they had three very good lines to Princeton's two. The Bears' top line of Katie King, Danielle Solari and Nan Gorton is outstanding, and the next two lines are good as well. Karen Emma (transfer from BC) leads the second line and created some chances with her speed and skills. Becky Kellar (who I think played on Brown's first line last year) centered the third line. Not only did Brown have more players, with the exception of Princeton's Ali Coughlin they had a big size advantage as well, which helped them in what was a very physical game. Princeton matched up better against Providence in what was a very even game. Princeton won, 5-4, thanks to Pfeiffer's goal with 0:10 left in regulation. It was Pfeiffer's second goal of the game -- she has been playing tremendously since Kathy Issel graduated last year. She should be in the running for first-team all-ECAC. Providence had tremendous team speed, but didn't seem to have finishers as good as Pfeiffer, Coughlin or Karen Chernisky. The game also featured some of the best defenders in college hockey (a position that seems to be lacking this year) in Princeton's Vicki Urbas and Providence's Karen McCabe and Alana Blahoski. Nate Ewell ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Jan 1996 16:40:58 -0600 Subject: WOMEN-IN-HOCKEY digest 137 -Reply Heather, We haven't had that example crop up yet here in Minnesota. Although boys high school hockey in Minnesota has a very high level of caliber; especially in the Twin Cities area where the enrollment is so high and the high school teams are AA level. Out-state there have been girls - mostly goalies - in boys high school teams (but no girls teams to compete on). There was one girl from Roseville who skated out (wing) on the boys high school- AA - Junior Varsity team, but this year as a senior she is playing on the newly formed girls high school team (they are ranked #1 in the state and I predict they will win it). Should the subject come up - I believe Title IX provides that the girls CAN play on the boys team - even if there is a girls team to skate on - and I believe the reason is because the boys level of play is higher and that if she is skilled enough to make the cut she deserves to play at that high level of competition. I can see if coming down the pike though - what a challenge it will be! As far as college? We've only had one girl - goalie - play on the men's college level and there were no women's varsity teams. Minn. now has one team (Augsburg) with U of MN following in 2 years. (YEAH!!!) Hope this answers.

In reference to this past week discussion on whether girls should choose to play on a boys' team or a girls' team...here are my thoughts: I strongly believe that any player, male or female, should choose a team for the COACH, not for the gender of the team or the gender of the coach. All youth ice hockey players should be looking for the best possible person for coaching individual skills, game strategy and strong TEAMWORK. I stress teamwork because it can take the most time and be the most difficult thing for kids to learn. I believe it is extremely essential for their future growth both on and off the ice. As women's ice hockey becomes more and more popular there tends to be more and more terrific men and women coaching it. However, in some youth programs people tend to think that the coaches for the boys' teams tend to be better than the girls' teams. I believe this to be untrue in most cases. Don't disregard people who coach the girls teams especially the women coaches. I know this to be true here in Seattle as well as (specifically) in Minnesota. There are increasing numbers of women who are more knowledgeable in the sport than most boy's coaches or parent coaches. They are in your community...you just have to dig them up and get them involved. Is it you? I believe the trick to becoming the best ice hockey player you can be is to practice as much as you can AND to find the best coach for your skill level. And this doesn't mean the best former ice hockey player...it means the best TEACHER of the sport....male or female...and to play on their team, whether that may be a boy's team or a girl's team.

I know you can only tryout so many, but if you can miss talent like that, than USA Hockey can dream on.

There is a program out of Glacial Gardens Ice Rink and at Disney Ice in Anaheim. There are about 6 - 8 teams, including one team from the San Diego area. The League also has a team, called the So California Rays, that travels to tournaments. They will be participating in a tournament in Las Vegas in March and one in Toronto in April in (I believe) the Novice A or B division. The person to contact is CJ Nagy, Glacial Gardens can give you her number or I can get it from home and forward it to you later. Currently the teams play one game and one practice session a week. The teams are chosen in a draft skate, anyone that wish to participate are placed on a team and gets ice time. If I can be of further help, let me know.

Yes USA Hockey does have posters. Actually, they are using the poster we have used in Minnesota for years from when one of our youth teams was in Sports Illustrated for Kids. The poster is an absolutely beautiful professional picture of youth girls (12 & under) doing a "stop" with the ice flying up in front of them. The photographer for SI for Kids took it. He gave us permission to use it for recruiting. Doug Palazzari of USA Hockey has the posters and his telephone # is: 719-599-5500.

We had a meeting last night to discuss finances. We were all charged $50 in dues which will mainly go towards ice time and publicity for other fund raisers. However, the rink rules state that we cannot practice with pucks unless we all have helmets. We have been practicing with tennis balls! We have a very slim chance of getting funds from our Student Government Association and our athletic dept. considers us too much of an insurance risk. It there are any teams out there who would be willing to donate old helmets or equipment of any kind, I would really appreciate it! Also, if anyone knows of any women's organizations or hockey organizations who give grants to new teams, that would be a big help too. Please email me directly if you have any information.

This application is a normal part of applying for admission. The hockey skills may set you apart from the pack and result in admission in a very competitive pool. I coach the girls team here at school. We are a prep school with 590 students, 504 of them board. we cost $22,000 per year and have 190 students receiving $2.8 million in need based aid. My players have gone on to the ECAC and ACAC Alliance schools to play. In many cases their hockey skills made the difference in the admission process. For most, if not all, schools the hardest thing is getting in. Merit(Athletic) scholarships have existed at UNH, and Northeastern, and maybe Providence college, but they are not plentiful. 4 women have them at Northeastern, but who knows what will happen if the downgrade to club status really comes to pass. cheers, Bill -- William G.

Right now, they don't have very much to offer that is gender-specific for women, but they are willing to work with us for our girl's hockey tournament to make something up. If there are other people on the list who are interested in working with USA Hockey to get something going in terms of a poster, bumper stickers, tee-shirts, sweats, hats, etc that carry a message promoting Women's/Girl's Hockey, you might consider talking to Ty Albers at the above number. The more he hears about the market out there for this type of merchandise, the more likely USA Hockey will invest in developing something good that will serve both the purpose of raising some money for the sport as well as raising the profile and getting the word out about women's/girl's hockey.

Second, I've had a couple of discussions off-line about putting info up on the web page. We'd like to list contacts for teams/leagues, but how to do it without subjecting those contact people to possible advertising or other mailings or things such as that. I admit to being nervous about this to an extent since the web can have such high traffic. On one hand, its great to see all of the women's teams/leagues, on the other, you don't know who's looking at this info and for what reason. Any comments? Am I being too paranoid? BTW, the Minnesota registrar suggested only listing contacts for the league levels, which I did (although I added those individuals in the league who offered to be a contact (ie Tom). Minn. has 31 women's teams in 3 divisions (plus a few that aren't in that league), and over 130 girls teams!! Wow, and I thought Mich was growing...

They have a girls ice hockey school (age 8-18, all levels), a senior womens hockey clinic, and a High level training program (min age 14-- for college bound hopefuls). If you want more info call them at 800-868-7679. Last year, she brought along some of the Team USA skaters (Shelley Looney, Kelly Dyer, Chris Bailey --hope I got the names right and spelled right). The flyer advertises the following as guest coaches for this year: Christina Bailey, Lisa Brown, Karyn Bye, Cindy Curley, Shawna Davidson, Maria Dennis, Kelly Dyer, Shelley Looney, Brian McClosky, Fred Quistgard, Sue Reece, Kelley Roberts, Joe Snicinski, and Gretchen Ulion. Also, if you haven't guessed, if you're trying to play in college, this would give you visibility since Karen coaches at UNH, Lisa coaches at Princeton, Joe coaches at Yale, and lots others are ass't coaches. If you're interested, give them a call and get the info. Sorry if anyone is upset about this pseudo ad, I just think this is too great an opportunity to miss... at least find out about it. I don't know how they advertise, but if I hadn't wandered into Mt. Clemens rink last year and picked up a brochure I wouldn't have heard of it.

This past summer I worked at girls' hockey camps in New England. These camps varied greatly in skill and age level as well as physical intensity. They included: The Blue Hills Girls' Hockey School is a small girls boarding camp held at the Williston - North Hampton School in East Hampton, MA. It is run by John Dooley, the former Harvard Womens' coach. The coaching staff included, Julie Andeberhan, the head coach for Cornell, Bill MacDonald from Harvard, and Dick Marr from Tabor Academy. The counsellors included players from UNH, Middlebury, and myself from Cornell. Paul Vincents Dynamic Skating camps are intense hockey clinics which are held all over New England. Some are boarding camps and some are day camps. Most are co-ed. The only women's camps are boarding camps held at the Williston-North Hampton School in East Hampton, MA. Many of the co-ed camps are specialized for forwards, defense, goalies, or for specific skills like shooting and passing. The staff varies from camp to camp, and includes coaches and players from the UMASS colleges, players from the USA and Canadian Women's national teams, and players from Div. I women's hockey teams. The Babson Girls' Hockey Camp is a boarding camp held at Babson College in Wellesley, MA. It is run by Steve Stirling, the Babson Athletic Director (he also runs the Europa Cup summer leagues). The coaching staff consisted of players from the U.S. women's national team, the Northfield-Mount Hermon and Taft Schools, local town teams, and recent graduates from UNH and Princeton. The counsellors included players from UNH, Princeton, Yale, Cornell, Milton Academy, and Lawrenceville Academy. There is a girl's camp here at Cornell run by Julie Andeberhan, our head coach. This past summer the staff aslo included our asst. coach Carol Mullins, many of my teammates, and Karen Bye from Team USA. Phillips Exeter Acadamy and Dartmouth College each run thier own camps in NH. I don't know much about either of them except that the Katie Stone from Harvard was at Exeter this past summer, and that George Crowe runs the Dartmouth camp which is staffed mostly by Dartmouth players. Hope this was helpful. I'll repeat Rhonda's appology for the pseudo-add. I tried to be non-partisan (hey, I included the Dartmouth camp didn't I) ;) If anyone wants any more info about these camps, feel free to email me directly.

Yes, you can get hockey scholarships at some of the Div. I varsity schools. I know you can get them at UNH, and I'm pretty sure you can get them at Providence. Nobody knows what is happening with Northeastern. Many schools, like the Ivy League schools, don't give hockey scholarships, but do provide financial aid. There are also some other non-university-sponsored scholarships. The best way to get info is to talk to the coaches and ask them directly. To Cathy and any other Canadian grad students - Sorry, we have eligability rules in the US that don't allow grad students to play. However, I was thinking of going to Canada to get my MBA so I can get my degree and continue skating (I'm a junior at Cornell). Does anyone have any info that would help me?

Clemens boys Mite 'A' travel team. (She plays goal for the boys Mite 'A' team here in Sylvania.) They've had 3 great games against your Mt. Clemens team. She shut them out 3-0 in the first round of a tournament in Flint, then shut them out 1-0 in 5 overtimes in the championship game. In their playoff game, it ended in a 1-1 tie. They gave her a hard time in the first game for being a girl, but after the last two, many of the parents and players have congradulated her personally. I was impressed by the respect they have shown. It's a nice reflection on the Mt. Clemens association. Rick ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Feb 1996 14:32:47 -0500 From: "Andria L.

The reason that there is currently no restriction on the number of years that you can play women's university hockey in Canada is because there is currently no national title (CIAU). There are women's university hockey leagues in the Maritimes, Ontario, and Quebec, but the winners of each league do not currently go on to compete for a National title. However, within the next few years (and possibly as early as next year), there will be a National CIAU title in Canada for women's hockey. There has been a push for this because they want to bring up the number of CIAU sports for women to the same number of CIAU sports for men. From what I understand, this would mean that women university hockey players would have to follow the same eligibility rules as the men do in Canada. I think that means 5 years of eligibility, but I'm not sure of the details. I'll check with my coach and get back to you on this. I would assume that everyone starts at zero in terms of eligibility when this first gets incorporated, but I'm not sure.

There were many reasons to Gill's decision to leave Guildford, the main ones being the involvement of parents and the interference from the Guildford Flames organization. Since the start of the season the parents of Junior females some only in their 1st year at Guildford have been trying to get their own way. Forgetting that the Guildford Lightning is a Senior Women's team and not really a development team. Also pressure from the Guildford Flames organization who buy ALL the ice time from Guildford council and then charging extortionate rates for the ice, with a "If your not happy, Leave" attitude. The girls were also FORCED to join Junior Development, where on top of the œ20 per month ice fees there is a further œ10 per month to pay for junior development in which you get NOTHING in return. Gill sickened that a once great, happy, and successful team decided that after the General Manager Pete Dowling had resigned that there would be nobody there to fight for the girls rights and asked for her release after Guildford had played Bracknell, leaving the Lightning 2 weeks to get a replacement before the January signing deadline. Gill is now settled in her new teams at Swindon. Her only comment with respect to Guildford was "Guildford's Junior development is not the wonder of British Ice Hockey that everyone is making it out to be." Commenting on her new club she said "a lot of clubs could learn a lot from Swindon's junior development, it's nice to go to a rink where everyone's interested in hockey, and not the empire they could build." Gill now joins the ever increasing list of good British players that have left the Guildford Organization. BHF PS Gill will be representing GB again this year at the European Championships being held in Slovakia from March 11th to 17th. We wish her all the best. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 06 Feb 96 22:14:00 PST From: Ray Barton To: women-in-hockey@plaidworks.com, uk-hockey@cee.hw.ac.uk Subject: Guildford Lightning Head Coach Resigns Guildford Lightning Head Coach Ray Barton resigned from his duties last week due to conflicts with Parents and the Guildford Flames organisation. Ray who is quoted as being one of the top women's hockey coaches in the country said "I had a great time with the Lightning, but with the ever increasing pressure from parents looking out for number 1 and the Flames organisation trying to squeeze every penny out of the girls and interfering in the running of the team. It became increasingly difficult to do the right things right. The Flames organisation treated me as if I was on the payroll forgetting that I was actualy employed and earning a lot of money working for a computer company. Threats of being fired for not complying with their Junior development policies when you are actualy only doing a volunteers job, for the love of the sport were a joke, but they meant it. I wish most of the girls in the team the best for the future and hope they can build on what they have left." Ray's role of Head Coach will now be taken over by former Asst/Goalie Coach John Noctor. Ray wishes John all the best and knows he will do a good job. As for Ray, He says he is retiring from Coaching women's hockey but will be continuing to coach the Men's Rec team at Basingstoke until the end of the season.

Well, Andria, that should still give you enough time to get a Ph.D. before your eligibility runs out ...... A question for followers of the ECAC: The original poster said that "grad students aren't eligible". What is the rule? Is it a league rule or an NCAA rule? Most of what I know about varsity sports in the US comes from the big-budget NCAA men's sports, and there the rule seems to be "four years of play in your first five years of college". It seems to me that I have seen mention of male athletes playing in their 4th year of eligibility, who have started graduate school. And to Cathy at Queen's and any other Canadians wondering about grad school/sport opportunities in the USA: In many fields, it is possible to arrange research associateships, teaching associateships, and/or fellowships to support you in graduate school in the US. I chose to do my Ph.D. at a university which didn't have any female hockey at the time, but did have ice, so I helped to start a women's hockey club here which is now thriving with both competitive and instructional/recreational programs .... At some universities, the rules of the club-sport program are flexible enough to allow grad students, part-time students, faculty, staff, alumnae, and domestic partners of the above to compete. I'm particularly grateful to the American Association of University Women, which granted me an International Fellowship for one year of my program. One of the criteria for those fellowships is that the grantee have a record of civic service to improve the lives of women and girls in her home country .... so I told them about my commitment to female ice hockey .....

This is a good way to deal with it -- give people a choice. If they don't mind being a public contact, great. If they do, don't force it on them. And we can try things, and adjust them as needed, too. What's started with isn't what we necessarily end up with. If there are problems, Laurie and I will work with folks to deal with them -- even if it means Laurie and I are the contacts and only we have the database of contacts to hand out after we've talked to the people who come looking. And if we don't have problems, over time, people will feel more comfortable with it and worry less. We can find something that works. I don't expect problems -- or, at least, no more problems than anything else in real life causes. And we can deal with them.

We knew our goalie would miss the first 15 minutes of the game so had another player suit up as goalie and then change into her defense stuff and play as defense when our goalie showed up. We had asked a so-called "friend" to ref who has done a lot of reffing. She promptly threw the goalie-turned-D out of the game when she saw her on the ice claiming some USA Hockey rule. I'd just like to clarify the rule and whether or not she interpreted it correctly. Aside from that, it was a game between 2 teams with lots of friends and we were playing for enjoyment--no league, no national championship so why not let our player play?

If you know of someone else who may be interested, please pass this message on. Andre Lacroix, the President of the new Oakland/U.S. Ice Arena has invited interested players and parents to a meeting Monday February 6 at the arena to discuss his plans for a 4-week skill program in March or April, and a week-long school in the summer. Andre has been very supportive of efforts by the Berkeley Minor Hockey Club to encourage ice hockey for younger (12 and under) girls. The meeting follows the regular practice of the existing program, so come early and see what's been going on already. The Oakland U.S. Ice Arena is located at 519 18th Street, Oakland. I'm personally comitted to efforts to encourage girls' ice hockey in Northern California. So even if you can't attend the meeting, please send me your name, address, phone number and e-mail address and I'll keep you informed of developments. I'm also looking for older girls and women who are interested in becoming certified USA Hockey coaches and helping develop programs over the next few years. - Chuck Collins 408-241-4798 cpc@chkpt.COM ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Feb 1996 09:25:59 -0500 (EST) From: paprockr@VTC.TACOM.Army.Mil (Rhonda Paprocki) Subject: Re: Forwarded article: Women's Beanpot: 1st round > BU's outstanding player was Shana Osler. She has a > very good all-around game and covered a large amount of the ice with her > rushes and back-checking. Yeah!!! Glad to hear this. Shana played with us last year (Team Michigan Tornados) and was hoping to get into a college team. She really improved in the year she played with us (and really had no coaching, our coach quit in nov), and I guess she's really improved some more! Rhonda (yeah, I know, I'm posting too much lately) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Feb 1996 10:32:03 -0500 (EST) From: Laurel Beverley Subject: beanpot Just wanted to make a name correction for Boston University's team in the beanpot game versus Boston College (hey, it's probably the only time I'll ever see my team on this list). Unfortunately a creative version of our roster and team record was printed in the tournament program. The defender mentioned in the game recap was Zoe Copenhaver (not Stacy Vasil). She's been a welcome return to our team, and is earning a rep for sacrificing body and soul to stop the puck. Also wanted to mention that the goalie who played the third period, Jenn Pearson, had never played in goal until just over 2 weeks ago. She managed to stop 100% of the shots faced in the BC game. Shana Osler is definitely a power forward for BU, and looks as if she will continue to step up the quality of the program. (nice to hear good things about her from the past!) Thanks to the BC program for keeping the game at a sportsmanlike level. The disparity between team levels is obvious, but their conduct allowed us to leave the ice still feeling proud of our play in spite of the scoreboard. * * * For those who aren't familiar with the hockey program at BU, it's interesting to note that the vast majority of team members have never played hockey (or even skated) before coming out for the team. Coaches Sean O'Brien (BU), Tina Vlad (Guelph), and Beth Lundquist (Northeastern) deserve all the credit for developing each player & the team into something to be proud of. It was very encouraging to hear all the positive feedback from spectators & other teams at the Beanpot game. Keep your eyes on women's hockey in "terrierland" in the near future! -Laurel Beverley Boston University Women's Ice Hockey Club labever@bu.edu ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Feb 1996 10:12:03 -0600 From: SEkberg@us.teltech.com (Sheryl-Lyn Ekberg) Subject: goalie rule I am only a first year referee, but I have played the game for many years, here is my interpretation of the ruling. In the USA Hockey Officials Playing Rules 1995-1997 Section 2 Teams Rule 203: Players in Uniform Players and goalkeepers are designated separately where privileges and equipment are concerned. If you start the game as a goalkeeper you must finish the game as a goalkeeper. A "player" can wear the goalkeeper equipment and be allowed goalkeeper privileges when the goalkeeper is incapacitated. If a goalkeeper becomes unavailable they must be replaced immediately by an additional skater or a temporary goalkeeper. The additional skater does not have the goalkeeper privileges. A temporary goalkeeper assumes the position when the designated goalkeeper is not able to participate. That temporary goalkeeper has goalkeeper privileges until such a time as when they return as a"player" because the designated goalkeeper becomes available to play. Her call was correct in not allowing the goalkeeper turned "D" to continue playing. Under the circumstances; it may not have been an issue, had you informed her of the situation, let her know it was cleared with the other team, and ask her if it would be allowed. I expect she made the call not knowing the impact of the game or the knowledge both teams had of the situation. A good referee would also be willing to explain the ruling after the game or between periods, perhaps even at that time if time permitted. After all alot of dissatisfaction with a call is because we as (players, coaches, fans) do not understand the basis of the call in the first place. We should all know the rules as thoroughly as a referee is expected to know them.

Clabough) Subject: Club Team at Clarkson University I'd like to announce a new women's club team at Clarkson University in Potsdam, NY. Clarkson has been without women's hockey for several years. It was amazing how fast the club came together. I threw the idea out a women's leadership seminar at the beginning of the semester and within two weeks we had 18 members, ice time, and were recognized by the student senate. Since then we have become a budgeted club and now have a coach at our 7:00am ice times. We hope to play a game or two before the year is over. Thanks to Rhonda for her new list - I've written down some numbers. The Women-in-Hockey list has been a real inspiration. By the way, I know there are some people from Portland, OR out there. I will be spending the summer there on an internship and will probably move there after graduation (May 97). I would love to hear from some of you and get some information on summer hockey - if it's available.

Not being a true local, feel free to correct/add to any info below. The Beanpot is a long-standing, traditional rivalry between the four main hockey schools in Boston: Harvard, Northeastern, Boston College, and Boston University. The men's tournament goes as far back as the 1930s, and the women's tourney began in 1979. While the results of the tournament carry no weight in NCAA league play, the winner does get bragging rights throughout the town for a year. It's also a way for teams who don't usually meet each other in their division to play. The tournament is usually played out in February over the course of two weeks, with the men's events preceding the women's by one day. All the teams and coaches meet for a Beanpot Banquet a few days before the tournament, which is a nice chance to socialize & rib each other before the media (men's only, women's banquet doesn't have coverage). The first round of play occurs with two games on one day, and the finalist and third place games occur on the same day a week later. The men's tourney takes place before sell-out crowds at the Boston Garden, while the women's venue rotates between the four schools each year. Info below is from this year's beanpot program from Northeastern. The women's beanpot has been dominated by Northeastern, winning the championship 11 times in 17 years. Harvard has posted 4 wins, including last year, but will not be defending their title this year as they were knocked out by Northeastern in the first round. Boston College won the chance at their first title by beating Boston Univ. this year (who has 1 Beanpot title to their credit). An oddity in the women's history is the substitution of Brown University for a few years in place of the temporarily vacillating club program at BU--Brown posted a Beanpot victory in 1993--but thanks to the BU program's resurgence and the other schools' preference for tradition, BU is back in the tourney.

A little history on the poster and why it has MN Women's Hockey Assn logo on it. Originally a story was done in "Sports Illustrated for Kids" and the photographer with SI took the photo. I contacted him to get permission to use it as a recruiting tool in MN which he so graciously granted us - stating we could not make money off of it, because the photo belonged to him yet. We, in turn, let USA Hockey use it - it's so hard to get them to do anything special for the girls and women to begin with - and they, in turn, cannot make money off of it. So, that's the history of the poster. There are 6 girls and parents in MN who absolutely love the poster - because they and their daughters are in it! And we all loved it too. Unfortuntely we'd put the poster up in arena's and either the boys would take it down or another girl would take it down to hang in her bedroom. We have gone through a lot of them!

And I realized by all of my bumbling that there is really no instruction on what you are supposed to do and all the little details that you need to take care of when you are the manager. So I thought I'd try to write a "guide" on it. Are there any other Team Managers out there? And if so, what do you do for your team? Also if you have anything funny that's happened to you or if you have any misadventures that you'd want to warn other Managers about please let me know! I'll include them and credit you with the info (and send you a copy!!) if you want me to! One of my "almost" misadventures was with score sheets, I didn't know that if you win you are supposed to send the score sheet into your stats keeper for you league (at least in my league!) because we had never won! Well, I was talking to the manager for another team and she mentioned it to me and lo and behold we won our next game! I'm glad I knew because our league rules state that if you don't send it in within 72 hours you may forfit the game!!! Ugh! Thanks for any info/advice!!! Sheri #33 Iron Maidens 1-1-8 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Feb 96 15:38:49 cst From: "Sheryl-Lyn Ekberg" To: women-in-hockey@plaidworks.com Subject: Team Managers There's a lot to being the team manager. The first thing you should do is have a folder to keep score sheets, USA forms of players and team, medical forms, league schedule, important phone numbers and addresses (your commissioner, president, referee contact, score sheet contact, etc..), a roster of the players (with jersey numbers, phone numbers, addresses, birthdays), ice contracts (with paid receipts), waiver forms and anything else you may need on a moments notice and carry it with you at all times. I keep that very information by my hockey things and take it with when I am involved in team activities. If I won't be at a team activity I make sure someone else has the proper paperwork. Not only should the winning team send in the score sheet but who should send in the score sheet in case of a tie. In our league (Minnesota) the home team sends it in when there is a tie. However, we have 7 days. Always keep a copy of the score sheet no matter what the out come. For the state tournament our players need 10 games to be eligible and for Nationals USA hockey sets those guidelines, and that number escapes me right now. If you can, for all practices and games, put someone in charge of pucks, and another in charge of water bottles, and someone in charge of the team money if applicable. If you schedule a scrimmage, referees need to be on hand and unless you have a referee friend be prepared to pay them. The only way you can scrimmage without a referee is if a coach is on the ice. Know the rules. Read the USA hockey rules book. For tournaments, have team picture(s) on hand, for entry. I keep my team up to date on all practices and games and I really over emphasize changes to the original schedule and repeat often. Inevitably if you don't, someone will have missed the information. I use a calendar program for this purpose. Written is always better than just verbal. I directly communicate with our coach, regarding players that will be absent from games and practices, and expect conflicts to be given weeks in advance when able in case additional plans need to be made. Arrive early to games and tournaments so that you can take care of any administrative duties. I play as well manage, and need time to get ready for the game, but there always seems some form needs filling out and I need to make sure it is done and the proper person has it. If there needs to be communications with the other team about anything (game issues, players, uniforms, etc..) you'll be the one to find out and pass the information on to coaches, players, referees, team officials. Some of the items listed above evolved from learning (forgetting a score sheet, getting into a tournament with no team picture, informing players verbally of schedule changes and finding out they did not know you never told them, showing up to get ready for a game with sufficient time to get ready for a game and because of some team need found myself missing half the warm ups). So there's my list for now good luck.

People often don't think about all the details that it can entail. Scoresheets, stats, scheduling and paying for referees, scheduling scorekeepers for each game, obtaining and paying for ice rental, registration, collecting dues, advertising, developing handbooks, phone lists, developing club policies, fundraising, recruitment, overseeing and projecting the budget, attending league meetings, disseminating information via newsletters, memos, and many other details must be taken care of, and some or all of the above may be handled by or delegated out by the club manager. I would think it would be difficult to write a general manual on what a team manager should do, since the responsibilities and job description of a team manager varies from club to club. If your club regularly changes managers year to year, it would be a good idea for your club to have some sort of written guide outlining the responsibilities of its own manager, as well as where she may obtain other helpful information. Your league should have some sort of written by-laws stating rules such as that the winning team needs to send in the scoresheet (this also varies from league to league, in the league we are in, it is always the Home team's responsibility, win or lose) and a copy of this should be passed down to the next manager. I cannot overemphasize the importance of communication. Your team's policies (by-laws or whatever you may call them) should be in writing. Your club's philosophy (or mission statement) should be in writing, because if the team members all have different ideas of where the club is headed and what principles its decisions are based upon, it can lead to alot of tension and misunderstandings. You should have a way to communicate regularly with your club members via a newsletter or memo. I don't know how large your club is, but as the club grows it becomes even more important to keep the lines of communication open. We have about 35 members in our club, comprising two teams. We simply cannot rely solely on word of mouth to communicate important information. If you have any specific situations or questions, I would be happy to let you know how our club handles it.

Trepanier) To: women-in-hockey@plaidworks.com Subject: Girls Hockey in Texas? You Bet ! ! ! Last weekend (Feb 9th & 10th) the Dallas Junior Stars girls peewee team played a 3 game series with Anoka Minnesota. Two of the games were played at the Dr. Pepper Stars Center in Irving TX and one game at Reunion Arena in Dallas. The game at Reunion was played following the NHL game between Dallas and St. Louis. Anoka won the first 2 games 1-0 & 3-2, Dallas won the third game 5-4. What hockey! all games were decided by one goal. I believe this is the first girls peewee game played in Texas. This weekend we (Dallas) have Aspen Colorado here to play another 3 games. It will be fun playing two weekends in a row. Girls hockey in Dallas is growing. We are planning on organizing more teams next season. With ice time being a premium and a boys program to compete with it will be challenging. We are the only team in Texas therefore we have to travel or host other teams for games. In January we traveled to Mackinaw City Michigan where we played Boyne, Alpena and Mackinaw ending our weekend at 3-1-1. Anyone wanting information or offering friendly advise feel free to reply.

The top 4 teams in the league qualified for this final tournament. It was 1st vs 4th and 2nd vs 3rd in semi-final action on Saturday. The University of Guelph and the University of Toronto won their semi-final games, advancing them to the championship game on Sunday. It was a close battle between York and Laurier in the Bronze medal game on Sunday. York was leading 2-1 with less than 2 minutes to go, when Stephanie Kay scored a power-play goal to force the game into overtime. A regular 5 minute overtime period was played, and the score remained tied at 2. The game then went into a 15 minute sudden death overtime period. Amy Turek scored for Laurier near the end of the period, to claim the bronze medal for Laurier. The final game also turned out to be very suspenseful. There was no score after the first period of play. Defending champion Guelph was first to get on the scoreboard early in the second period of play. Toronto fought back hard, but it wasn't until 5 minutes remaining in the third period when Lori Dupuis (Randall, Hunter) scored to tie the game at 1. Two overtime periods were played without any score, and then with 10:58 minutes remaining in the third overtime period, Laura Schuler (MacMillan, Hunter) put the game away for the Blues. The goal came when Guelph tried to clear the puck out of the zone, but it was stopped by MacMillian on the point. She quickly gave a pass to Hunter who was partially covered in front of the net. Hunter slipped the puck by the defender to Schuler who was alone in front of Guleph goalie Jenn Dewar. Schuler controlled the puck, and deked to her forehand and put the puck behind the goaltender.

Waldo is a freshman forward from Cross Plains, Wisconsin, and she has 13 goals and 21 assists for 34 points this season. She had three assists in NU's Beanpot win over BC Tuesday night, including setting up the overtime game winner. The article is written by Michael Madden, one of the better Globe columnists, and covers her battle against cystic fibrosis while playing hockey. She hopes to play for the USA in the 1998 Winter Olympics - quite an accomplishment for someone with a disease that, according to the article, usually results in a life expectancy ranging from the teens to the early 20s.

At this point, the top eight teams in the League table have made the play-offs (see below). It is great to see so many teams, including a few new ones, produce such an exciting ending to the season. UNH only needs one win for the title. The Wildcats have the most impressive record. Brown has home ice for the first round, but will need to beat UNH on Saturday and hope that PC continues on its roll on Sunday if the Bears are to win the league. Dartmouth, Providence and Northeastern are locked in a battle for the last two home ice slots. PC is the hottest team in the ECAC right now and two home wins would assure them of the home advantage, and make other teams very happy. DC and NU had tough weekends with Big Green getting the sole point. Both need sweeps this week to get them ready for the play-offs. Cornell and Colby have an outside chance of home ice. It is more probable that they and Princeton will be looking for better placement in the standings so they don't have to make the trek to UNH for the first round. In the Ivy League Cornell can wrap-up the title with a win at Harvard. If they win on Sunday they will do an Ivy double with the Cornell Men! Darmouth and Brown all but took themselves out of the race by tying on Sunday. If Dartmouth wins its two games and Cornell looses, Big Green wins the title. If DC wins both matches and CU ties, they share the Ivy crown. Brown could share the title with Cornell if CU looses. DC could make it a three-way tie with a win and a draw.

This means that the whole season comes down to tomorrow's match-ups. If UNH can tie or beat Providence they will win the title and get first seed in the ECAC tournament. If they lose and Brown wins their game, Brown will win the title. Both teams have already clinched home ice for the first round. However, the second place finisher will probably have to face red-hot Colby in the first round.

(All this info should be correct.) Here are the teams that made the playoffs and their seeds: 1. Brown, 28 points 2. UNH, 27 3. Dartmouth, 24 4. Providence, 22 5. Cornell, 20 6. Northeastern, (17 points entering today's game with SLU) 7. Princeton, 16 8. Colby, 15 So next weekend all eight teams play in the quarterfinals, with the top four teams hosting the next four. Here are this weekend's scores (still waiting on NU-SLU): Brown 5, UNH 4 Brown 8, Colby 3 Providence 5, UNH 3 Providence 4, Colby 1 Cornell 3, Northeastern 0 Princeton 6, Boston College 4 Dartmouth 2, Princeton 1 Dartmouth 2, Yale 0 Cornell 5, Harvard 0 St. Lawrence 4, Harvard 3 Here at Princeton we got to see a great game between Dartmouth and Princeton today. Lots of back-and-forth action and two excellent goaltending performances by Princeton's Liz Hill and Dartmouth's Sarah Tueting. In the end, Dartmouth's three lines seemed too much for Princeton's two, and the Big Green scored in the third to win, 2-1.

A number of them asked me to sumamrize & post the responses, so here goes. The most obvious source for a club directory is Andria Hunter's homepage, http://www.cs.utoronto.ca/~andria/Text_files/college_USA.txt which can connect you to the varsity & club directory maintained (religiously) by Richard Hungerford. (From my personal experience, this is the most accurate listing.) Most clubs belong to the AWCHA, and most of them register with USA Hockey, so one source for a list would be Lynn Olson at USA Hockey. They also publish the list annually. Another annual listing comes in Tom Keegan's ACHA handbook, which is the sourceguide for university hockey at all levels (div I-III and clubs). The problem noted with both of these is that not all clubs sign up with AWCHA and/or USA Hockey, so any listings originating from them would be incomplete. [possible solution--encourage widespread registry?] Unfortunately no one mentioned any record keeping beyond listing, i.e. no stats on rosters, number of participants, etc. This is an area that still needs to be addressed. The Women's Ice Hockey Fund mentioned their compilation of a binder aimed towards athletic directors--the complete message about this was posted here earlier. Other suggestions included: starting a women's college club newsletter (to gather and disseminate info--?by USA Hockey), keeping an additional but separate directory for men's univ. clubs that welcome women (I could definetely do this), and finding a grant for a sociology PhD student to do a dissertation project in this area (contact cpelak@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu). Thanks for all the input, hope you've found it as helpful as I have. This topic area will be updated here if I receive more news.

Cornell played an excellent match that featured strong skating, good clean checking at both ends of the ice and exceptional team play. The first period started slow. Harvard looked the more lively with periods of pressure in the Big Red zone. However I felt the control game of Cornell would take over. Robin Thompson (Dana Antal) gave Big Red the lead when she took the puck up the gut on an end to end rush and finished the play by stuffing it past the Harvard goalie. Thompson seized the moment which was smart, but also had fine spread support from her mates. In the second Harvard's defenders looked drained from too much ice time and not enough bodies being employed by the coach. Janna Dewar (Leanna House, Heather Davidson) finished off a lovely 1-2 break to give Cornell a 0-2 lead. Big Red was back-checking superbly and when they got the puck they were turning up ice for the quick break. In the final period Erin Schmalz (Dewar, House) knocked home a lovely centering pass from the corner. Antal (Thompson, Morag McPherson) made it 0-4 Cornell when Thompson missed her breakaway attempt. Antal was left to pick up the rebound in the slot where she twirled and fired home. Big Red was flying high now and concluded the scoring with a power play goal. Thompson (McPherson, Antal) drove in her try when she was set-up at the back door. It was a fine power play that featured an intelligent set and good passing. Cornell played a marvelous game today to win the Ivy League crown and get ready for next week's ECAC first round play-offs. Full marks to coach Julie Andeberhan for how well she has developed the Big Red Women's team. She is one of a few coaches in the league that works on skating, and it shows. Cornell are not all great skaters yet, but the improvement is good. The traditional Big Red checking game was clean and effective. The attack shows signs of an interesting future. The sets and the ability of players to move to open space looked real good. The woman of the match was the line of Thompson, McPherson and Antal. Thompson showed a lot of desire and some fine passing. Antal was also a clever passer and a very creative force on the ice. If she improves her skating, she could be something else. McPherson checked all over the ice. What impressed me the most about her was her talent to turn and go. McPherson is a great defensive forward, but if she ever starts to like scoring goals, look out! Tracey Cornell held her line together and is one of the reasons the rest of the team could accomplish what it did. Dewar is such a strong player on the ice and yet has fabulous touch. Her skating paid off big time for the team effort. On defense Stacey Hutton played a very good heads-up game. Overall I am very happy for Cornell as they won the Ivy title and did it with a flourish. Harvard's three seniors, Ellen Frump, Stacy Kellogg and Holly Leitzes played their final game today. Frump performed admirably as a checking wing. Her efforts helped make her line play that much better. Kellogg was a hustling forward who marked her opponent well and was ever the opportunist in front of net. Leitzes was Harvard's best skater and the outstanding defender during her four years. Her strength and determination will be greatly missed. In today's match, Leitzes was excellent. She broke up a couple of three on one breaks. I can't say the rest of the team played that well today. Next season has some interesting possibilities. Will this year's first-year class (Walsh, Dubois, Gerometta, Kreindler, Ganzenmuller, Landry, Nottebohm and Milbert) be able to raise their game to better compete in the ECAC League? The skating will need to improve, but the prospects look good with this strong core of young players. _____________ / good shooting hungerf _____________/ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Feb 1996 17:01:20 -0500 (EST) From: Karen A Robinson To: "Andria L.

(I note that the other teams were in higher >divisions) Yes, the other teams were in higher divisions than McMaster. The reason is that we wanted to set it up so that the Netherlands would play a variety of different levels of games. The Senior AA games were set up so that they'd get to see what it's like to play against stronger women's teams than they've experienced. The game against Mac was arranged to give the Netherlands a closer game. >As a student, and then as an executive member of the women's athletic >alumnae, I recall the various issues and feelings surrounding the cutting of >the team. While ultimately understanding the decision, it was a very sad >decision for all concerned. I would love to hear that the Mac club team is >doing well. There's a good chance that Mac will regain its varsity status in the near future (possibly as early as next season). This year was a trial year for them. They played a home and an away game against each team in the OWIAA league. I'm not sure how they did against other teams in the league, but since I play for the University of Toronto, I do know the scores for our games: SEPTEMBER 29, 95 U of Toronto 13 -vs- McMaster 1 7:00 (Home) FEBRUARY 3, 96 U of Toronto 17 -vs- McMaster 1 12:00 (Away) They were pretty weak, but hopefully if they do become a varsity program, they'll attract some better players.

I think you are right about attracting some better players once their status changes.

Thanks, Karen ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Feb 1996 12:48:49 -0500 From: Donald_Wright@Brown.EDU (Don Wright) Subject: girls team vs. boys teams Recently our squirt team has run into sort of a problem, that I would be interested to hear others opinions on. Our team is the only all girl team playing in the predominantly boys state league here in Rhode Island. The league has allowed our team, and other level teams from this all-female organization to participate in a full schedule of games all year, with the understanding that they would be exhibition games only. Meaning that they would NOT be eligible for any tournament at the end of the year. This was never a issue until now because the squirts were never competitive before. This year however, playing in the B division, the squirts are 7-2-3 and have had very close games all year. Most contests have been decided by only a goal or two. Three times the organization has asked the governing body of the state league to allow the squirts into their year end tournament, each time they have been rejected. The excuse the state league is giving for there action stems from the regulation that allows female squirt players, on an all female team, to be up to 12 years old. This rule is clearly spelled out on page 58 of the USA Hockey 95/96 Guidebook. The reason it's there is to help promote womens/girls hockey by making more players available to each level. In the small pool of players available here in RI, this is the only way we could possibly field a team. The state league board has decided not to follow this rule however, which apparently they have the right to do. Our argument is that, based on the play of the team all year, the ages of the girls doesn't seem to be a factor. These girls are no bigger physically than the other teams, and there is no checking at the squirt level anyway. The tournament is a B level, and does not lead anywhere else. What is the harm in letting them play? I would be very interested in hearing from others they may have been caught in this dilemma, or if you have an opinion either pro or con with any of the above.

The results were sent to me by Dave O'Leary who coordinated the tournament. His daughter and my two daughters played on the Wenatchee team. The teams were 11-17 year old girls from Spokane, Seattle, and Wenatchee, WA and Armstrong, Surrey and Langley from B.C., Canada. The format was as follows: 2 points were awarded for each period won and two points for each game won. In addition, one point was awarded to the team with the least amount of penalty minutes. As can be seen from the point spread between the top 4 teams, it was a close competition. The girls all had a great time and some excellent hockey was played. It is hoped that this will become an annual event, and become larger in the coming years, expanding to a true tournament format. Most of the teams will be playing in Armstrong BC the weekend of March 16-17 in the North Okanogan Spring Thaw tournament. Good luck to all the participants.

Spokane 19 1/2 points Armstrong 17 points Surrey 16 points Wenatchee 14 1/2 points Langley 10 1/2 points Seattle Jr. 3 points Seattle Jrs. got the Sportsmanship Trophy. They played Langley on Sunday and it was just a great game to watch. All the girls from both teams were cheering each other on and helping each other up of the ice when they fell during a whistle it was a great game that had a lot of sportsmanship in it. I'm sure Seattle Jrs. don't have very many Sportsmanship Trophys in their showcase. These girls earned it.

What do you mean by "state league?" If you aren't members of the league, I am not sure you have an argument, as ANY team not in a league would not be allowed to participate in a league tournament. Maybe the course you have to take is to begin the process for the girls' teams to join the league, and therefore be eligable to participate in the tournament each year. If you are members of the league, then I don't understand excluding a team for any reason - including gender! I am sure that someone from the Women's Ice Hockey fund can either address this, or pass it on to someone who can, right Julia?

From my understanding of USA hockey quidelines, they do not have the right to ignore any USA hockey playing rule. They may make it more stringent, but cannot ignore it.

What is >the harm in letting them play? I would think allowing it would be setting a precedent which the league may not want to start. Granted this years team sounds like they are competitive, but if the league lets this team participate, what do they tell the team next year who are unable to compete and use the fact that your team was granted permission this year as an argument for them to be allowed in. Don't take my comments the wrong way here, I'm not at all against girls competing with boys, (my daugher players for our boys Mite 'A' travel team) it's just that if they are going to compete in sanctioned tournaments, then all the rules must be followed by both teams. >I would be very interested in hearing from others they may have >been caught in this dilemma, or if you have an opinion either pro or con with >any of the above. PS. On another note, my Squirt team just won the John W. Kennedy Memorial tournament in Providence, RI 2 weeks ago. It was a great tournament, and the people were very friendly there. Do you play against any of the teams which participated in this tournament? We played, NJ Rockets, Northern RI, Nasuha (?), South Boston MA, Framingham MA. NJ Rockets had a very good female goalie, and several of the other teams had girls on the them as well. Rick. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Feb 1996 15:38:51 -0500 From: "Andria L.

The USA hockey guidelines specify that girls playing on boys teams must observe the same age limits, and that when playing on girls teams, they observe the girls age limits. There is nothing in the USA hockey guidelines which delineates regulations for boys playing against girls teams. This leaves it open to interpretations such as the one the Pacific Northwest AHA made last year. (At this year's championships, the girls team was not entered).

The first round is this Saturday at campus sites and features a one game elimination match. It's the Ivies versus the Big Three plus Colby! Considering the way the league season finished, I can only ponder who might win this weekend! #1 Brown over #8 Colby The Brown Bears have the most attacking talent in the League. If they start scoring goals like they can, Brown is one of the squads that could walk away with the Championship. The Colby White Mules have a great offense and are a lot of fun to watch. If they get a couple of early goals, anything could happen. This is my dream match! You have to give Brown the advantage, but I expect a high scoring game decided in the closing minutes. Yesssss!!!! #2 UNH over #7 Princeton The New Hampshire Wildcats slipped up on the last weekend in Providence. I still believe, with home ice advantage for the entire play-offs, that they are the team to beat in the League Championship. They are the most confident team I have seen this year. I believe this will be the year UNH wins the tournament, and in style. The Princeton Tigers have had an up and down year and will need a big effort to advance. They have a well-balanced team and could surprise a few people. I anticipate a UNH blowout. #3 Dartmouth over #6 Northeastern The Dartmouth Big Green is the other team that could get it together and blow everyone else away. They are extremely tough in their own end, have a lovely attack. I would not be amazed to see them in the final. The Northeastern Huskies have the strongest defensive pairings in the league. If they can get their passing game moving they could shock Big Green and make the final four. I think the key element is how much respect Dartmouth gives NU. Too much could spell disaster for DC. #5 Cornell over #4 Providence College The defending champion Providence College Friars can not be counted out. They are the hottest team in the league and I think will win any close match. The Ivy Champion Cornell Big Red are one of the most improved teams and will be a difficult opponent to put away in the play-offs. It would be a fine run for them to make it to Durham. I thought I'd take a chance and pick Big Red to surprise the heavily favored Friars! _____________ / good shooting hungerf _____________/ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Feb 1996 09:44 -0800 (PST) From: ta_vehec@ccmail.pnl.gov To: women-in-hockey@plaidworks.com, zharris@pac-inst.com Subject: Re[2]: First Ever Girls Apple Cup Tournament held in WA Stat >Dave and Tom- > >Thanks for the Apple Cup results.

There are tons of girl's teams from Langley (I am not familiar with Armstrong) and other B.C. areas at all levels. I know most teams from Canada have an A and B team. I am positive that there are A and B teams from Langley, Seattle and Surrey for the midgit and/or 11 to 17 age group in girl's hockey.

Shoot to score. This sounds silly but watch your fellow players and notice how many times they shoot simply for the sake of shooting." Remember, the puck sees the net from a different perspective than you do. Sometimes I find it useful to look at the net with the puck at the end of my stick, and then I lie down on the ice and put my eye right behind the puck to see the view the puck has of the net. I know it looks silly, so make sure you do it after practice when nobody is around! :-) But seriously, this is a very important point to realize ... notice how different your view of the net is than the puck's view of the net, and take that into consideration when you're shooting.

Ewell" Subject: ECAC playoffs It was good to see Richard Hungerford's analysis of this weekend's first round of ECAC playoffs. I thought I'd send along my opinions. #1 Brown vs. #8 Colby - This should be the most exciting game of the weekend, unless you like the hockey equivalent of a baseball pitchers' duel. Both teams can score -- a lot. Brown has three strong lines, including a third line that features the center from last year's first line (Becky Kellar)! On Colby, it amazes me how much time Sittler and Gordon spend on the ice. Laura Halldorson has done a tremendous job. But I can't see Brown bowing out early again this year -- the Bears should win a high-scoring matchup. #2 UNH vs. #7 Princeton - Princeton actually HURT its chances by moving up a spot last weekend. The Tigers play all right against Brown, but have been baffled this year by UNH. UNH has the perfect combination of forwards, defensemen and a great goalie. I was surprised they lost last weekend and will be surprised if they don't win their next three and take the ECAC title. #3 Dartmouth vs. #6 Northeastern - I am very impressed that Dartmouth was able to earn the No. 3 seed this year. They have excellent team defense backed by Sarah Tueting in goal, but I imagine they will have a very hard time offensively against Northeastern. They struggled to score 2 against Princeton Sunday, and the Tigers have given up 4.90 goals per game this year. I would expect NU to make this the lone upset of round 1. #4 Providence vs. #5 Cornell - Julie Andeberhan's coaching job this year (combined with Karen Kay and UNH's losses last weekend) should assure her coach of the year honors. I saw the Big Red play without freshman Dana Antal and they played an excellent team game and looked outstanding despite the lack of any superstars. But Providence has been playing terrifically of late, and I would think the offense of Wheeler-Baker combined with defenders like McCabe and Blahoski will help the Lady Friars prevail in what should be a very close game. All in all it looks like a good field for a very exciting tournament.

I'd appreciate it if you would drop me a line via a private e-mail so I can talk to you about your teams and your experiences in roller hockey.

There is a championship at the end of the year and it began yesterday with the following results: Kimball-Union Academy 10 Buckingham-Brown & Nichols School 1 Cushing Academy 3 Lawrence Academy 1 Taft School 5 Deerfield Academy 3 Tabor Academy 4 Choate-Rosemary Hall 1 The semi-finals are at 2:00 and 4:00 on Saturday, March 2 at the Taft School in Watertown, CT and the Final game will be Sunday at 1:00 also at Taft. Taft will play Cushing and KUA will have Tabor. At noon on Saturday the Division 2 final will be held, but I do not know who it will feature. Many of this year's seniors will be off to the collge ranks next year and the level of play is quite high. The girls who play at these schools come from all over the US and Canada and we tend to be ignored by USA Hockey since we are not members. A look at any ECAC roster is testament to the level of play. I will post the results as the games are completed. Cheers, Bill email:CUMMING@apollo.deerfield.edu William G.

Do you know the contact names (coaches' names) and numbers for these schools and others? I know might know of some players who would be interested in going to a prep school in order to get better exposure for a chance to play in college. Any information you have would be helpful. Thanks in advanced! -Zoe. zharris@pac-inst.com Seattle, WA ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Feb 1996 20:28:12 -0500 From: Manon33@aol.com Subject: Manon Rheaume Collectibles Hello all!!
