Does anyone know if there are "Nationals" in Canada as well?  I know 
there is the Provincial and Canada Games.

Subject: Starting a Girls team
Message-ID: 


     I am the Bantam Age Group Coordinator for the Tri-Cities, WA AHA.  I 
     have two girls who currently play on boys teams, and with a select 
     girls team in another association.  I would like to push our 
     association to allow the formation of a girls team in our association. 
     The board is reluctant to allocate the ice time for such a team at 
     this time.  I am looking for ways that other associations have used to 
     do the following:
     
     
     1. Prove that there is sufficient interest to form such a team.
     
     2. Prove the benfits of forming such a team in terms of state and 
     possibly national recognition.
     
     3. Structure the team so that the experienced girl skaters will not be 
     turned off by playing for the team.
     
     4. Describe the process for progression from the local to the national 
     level for players on such a team.
     
     
     Any information that you could provide me would be very helpful.  
     Thanks for your help.
