I'll give the people on women-in-hockey the context of my post, in case 
you missed some of the earlier discussion ....

The original tasteless message 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.

Part of Chuq's reply to my post:

>Confrontation won't change their attitude

>on. While it might feel better to "give them the finger", all that does is

I think that the manner of the confrontation depends a lot on whether or not 
it is worthwhile.  If I was to reply in rage, I think that that is what he 
was looking for, and it would make him gloat in satisfaction.  However, if in 
my reply I remain level-headed, confident, and informative, then who knows, 
perhaps he might actually learn something from it.  I have not received a 
reply from him, so it appears that sending him this type of a reply also 
works to make him go elsewhere for his jollies.

So, I guess there really are 3 different ways to deal with these
types of mail messages:

   (1) not to reply at all.
   (2) send an insulting, sarcastic, reply that perhaps attacks
        the sender personally.     (very tempting!)
   (3) send an informative, message that does not have a notion
        of rage or rebellion.

In summary, I aggree that option (2) will definitely not accomplish anything
positive.  I think that options (1) and (3) are both okay, but I tend
to prefer option (3), because I feel that there is a remote chance that
the person sending this mail could actually learn something and perhaps
change his/her attitude a little.  It may not make a difference for some
people, but if there are a few for which it does, then I prefer to take
the time to send them a reply as outlined in option (3).

Hello everyone!

Just thought I'd let you know that a famous women hockey player has 
joined this mailing list!  Her name is Lesley Reddon (email@hidden).
She shared the goaltender duties with Manon Rheaume on Team Canada 1994.
Here is some info about Lesley which was not overly publicized, so
you probably haven't heard it ...

Lesley is a Grad Student at the University of New Brunswick and has 
been practicing with the men's university team there.  On January 17th,
the number one goalie for the University of New Brunswick Men's team 
(Frank Leblanc) got mono, so Lesley had the opportunity to dress for 
their last 7 games.  She made CIAU (Canadian University Hockey) history 
on January 28th when she played the third period against Mount Allison.
She had 7 shots on her and didn't let in any!  Frank returned for the 
final 2 games of the regular season and the playoffs.  The UNB Varsity 
Reds finished the AUAA regular season in first place in the MacAdam 
Division with a 18-4-4 record and were ranked 5th in the country.

Lesley will be playing with the Canadian team at the Pacific Rim 
Competition in San Jose, California from April 1-8, 1995.

Just thought you might be interested ...

This is what I have so far....I'm not sure that it is all correct but 
this is what I have heard... all word of mouth!!!!

Princeton 3 vs. Dartmouth 1
Northeastern Lost to Providence...... score unknown...
UNH 6 vs Harvard 1
Brown 1 vs St. Lawrence 2

So in the semis we should get 
UNH #1 vs St Lawrence #4
Princeton #2 vs Providence #3

I hope this is right... tell me if there are any corrections please!!!!

Message-ID: 



This was a game the Slough Phantoms should have won and did even though
it got a bit scary in the 1st when Laura Byrne of the Zodiacs scored 
and equalized making it 1-1.  This was a confrence game with Slough
playing a minor league team.

As with playing all minor teams Slough got penalties for knocking over
players and getting a few roughing penalties but all in all it was
a friendly game.
