I pulled the information off of your web and gave it to my two daughters. They
are using it as motivation to excel in their hockey playing. This is their
first year playing. Despite that, the youngest (11),has 3 goals and 13 points
playing Pee-Wee with the boys. The oldest (14), is playing in a combined
Midget-Bantam league with the boys, (up to 17 years old). Despite the age
difference, and her inexperience, she has 2 goals and 17 points, including one
playmaker award. They each printed out their own copy of your career highlights
and are using it as inspiration to reach their goals. The two of them were asked
to play on a select women's team from WA State for a series of regional
tournaments next month. They will be playing teams from Spokane, Portland,
Seattle, Tacoma, Summerland and Penticton (both B.C.). Thanks for making the
information available. You can be assured that there are at least two girls
using it as inspiration!

I was wondering if anyone wanted to get a thread going about some of the
responses that they have had to women's hockey on the net. In particular,
I have received several responses from people who have read my women's
hockey web pages. Most responses are very positive, with people thanking
me for providing this information which would otherwise not be available
to them. Most people are very keen and interested in women's hockey, but
the general consensus is that there is just not much info out there. However
on occasion, I get mail which is not very positive at all, and I am tempted
to delete it immediately without replying at all (although I realize that
that would do nothing to rectify the situation). I received one such message
the other day. Here is a message which I received from (email@hidden)
(Phil Halonen), followed by my reply to his message:
His mail message to me...
>Why would you want to chart your undoubtedly successful hockey
>career on the web? Do you think anybody really cares?
My reply...
If it inspires just one young girl to play hockey, then it was well worth
it. I'm not sure if you know much about women's hockey, but it is quite
lacking in publicity and public awareness. This is the kind of thing that
is needed to promote it. I doubt you have looked at all my web pages ...
as there are many that don't just talk about MY career, but rather women's
hockey in general.
I really doubt that I would get the same reaction if I was a man who had
played for the men's Team Canada. I think that it's the lack of respect for
women hockey players and for women's hockey that triggers this sort of
a message. Any comments?

Subject: Grips and sticks
Message-ID:
My 14 y.o. daughter has trouble getting her full grip around the
diameter of a full size stick. I have been planing down the Koho
Revolution sticks she is currently using, but this process is tedious
and does not produce consistent results. A junior stick is too light
for playing at the Midget level. Are there any full size sticks with a
slimmer diameter?
