I was just curious ... is there any limit to the number of foreign
players which are allowed to play on teams in the Great Britain
league? I played for a team in Switzerland for one season (92-93),
and the ruling there was that a team could have no more than 2
foreigners. Is there a similar rule in Great Britain?
----------
... and to follow up on a message which I posted to this mailing
list last week about the promotional game between the COWHL (Senior AA
league in Ontario) All-star team and the Durham Regional Policemen
... the final score was a 5-5 tie. Wow, those guys are fast! The
scorers for our team were: Margot Page (2), Geraldine Heaney (2),
and Angela James (1). Incidentally, all 3 of these players were
members of Team Canada for 90, 92, and 94.

Subject: ADMIN: README! IMPORTANT NEWS -- mailing lists moving
Message-ID:
I apologize in advance for those of you that get duplicates of this
message. You only need to read it once. EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS MESSAGE.
Over the next few weeks, these mailing lists are going to be relocating.
Laurie and I have set up a new Internet server that we will be using for
our lists, FTP and World Wide Web stuff from now on. This message is to
give you advance warning of this move, so you won't be suprised when things
change out from under you. (now, I know that despite the subject line and
first paragraph, some of you won't read this message anyway. For you folks,
there is no hope, and if you get lost in the transition, well, the hell
with it. Meet me half way once in a while, okay? I don't have time for
people who are too busy to pay attention to the instructions and admin
stuff I do, and then expect me to baby them through everything at their
convenience. Life ain't always like that...)
The machine is now up and pretty much functional. I'm working on the
mailing list software right now, and am starting to migrate the FTP and WWW
materials. The FTP and WWW materials will be mirrored on BOTH sites until
the transition of the mailing lists, and then deleted from abs.apple.com,
except for pointers to the new homes.
If everything works right, I hope to move the first lists in about a week.
We'll do this in phases so that I can make sure that things are stable
before moving the next batch. If all works well, I hope to move a batch of
lists every third or fourth day until everything is on the new machine.
Here's my tentative schedule:
Batch 1: minors, minors-scores.
Batch 2: bay-area-hockey, roller-hockey-intl, hockey-list-admins,
women-in-hockey, ihl
Batch 3: baseball-chat, giants, giants-scores, giants-tickets.
Batch 4: sharks, sharks-chat, sharks-tickets, hockey-chat.
With any luck, we can be completely moved into the new home in about two
weeks after I start. Worst case, it'll take three weeks to a month.
Before the move, I'll send another warning with the dates of the move.
During the move, the affected lists will be unavailable. When the move is
complete, I'll send mail to BOTH the old and new lists os you can verify
that you were moved successfully, and then delete the old list.
The new machine is plaidworks.com, which is a Mac IIfx running A/UX 3.1.1.
It's got 20 megs of RAM and about a gigabyte of hard disk, and runs
basically the same set of tools that we run here on abs.apple.com (no
surprise, huh?) only somewhat slower (anyone else remember when a IIfx was
FAST? abs.apple.com is a WS95, which is a much faster machine). I'll be
supporting WWW, FTP and email/listproc. No gopher at this point, unless
someone can convince me otherwise, and for now, the searchable archives
that have been available via WWW will be disabled until I can get some more
processing horsepower.
All of the data currently out in the ftp/pub/baseball and ftp/pub/hockey
directories will migrate and be available in the new home, and then we'll
be going in and rewriting a bunch of it (it's overdue, especially on the
baseball side, but between the recent product intro we did and getting the
home Internet connection up, it had to wait).
Plaidworks, by the way, is connected to the home ethernet. The Internet
connection is via an ethernet router box (a 900i for the neep-neep types)
and a 24 hour, dedicated 28.8 modem connection to our Internet Service
provider. It'll be somewhat slower a link than abs.apple.com, but since
this is all coming out of my pockets, I'm sure you won't mind.... Pulling
all of this together has cost a little over $2,000 to date, plus the
monthly charges on the internet connection (but it's more than worth it,
given our involvement in the Internet. It also FINALLY gives us completel
control over the resources controlling these lists, which, since I'm going
through another Re-org at Apple, turns out to be an amazingly Good Things,
and we no longer have to worry about sticking with Apple's policies on
system use (or hiding from them) or conflicts of interest. Hopefully, it'll
let us add new, interesting services with fewer restrictions and more
flexibility.
As we get closer to the migrations, I'll keep you informed. In theory,
except for the host-name you email to, nothing should really change. In
REALITY, I hope to get as close to that as possible....
Of course, those few idiots who can't follow instructions and don't read
messages like that are going to wake up one day and find everything
missing, and then track me down and send nasty email messages because I
didn't come to their homes and reprogram their computers for them. And
finally, since this is OUR box and I don't represent anyone but myself, I
can tell them exactly what I think without getting Apple in trouble for
it... (bwa ha ha...)
We want to thank all of you in advance for your patience in the transition.
I hope we can make it worth your while to put up with it. I honestly think
this will let us have a better, expanded system of mail lists and other
services down the road than I could do borrowing work stuff (even if you
folks DID guinea pig test software at times for me without knowing it,
which was one of the justifications I used....)

Subject: Hockey in Alberta
Message-ID:
Hi!
A friend of mine is moving to Southern Alberta (Brooks, more
precisely). She would like to play hockey there. Does anyone know of
hockey teams in that area or the address (if there is one) for
women's hockey association in Alberta. Thanks.
