Subject: Background on Manon?
Message-ID:
I am relatively new to hockey and this list -- started playing pickup roller
hockey last spring, and now I'm addicted to watching ice. I've noticed
a few postings about Manon Rheaume and I'd like to know some more about her.
If anyone knows something about how she got started in hockey, and how she
managed to climb so high up in it (besides raw talent), I'd really appreciate
it if you'd share it.
Thanks,
Maria

(I got this from the Sharks today. Finally, some real info on this tourney.
I'm going to follow up and see if I can get more..)
1995 IIHF Pacific Women's Hockey Championship Set for April 3-8 in San Jose
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado -- Women's national ice hockey teams from the
United States, Canada, Japan and China will travel to San Jose, California,
to compete in the 1995 International Ice Hockey Federation Pacific Women's
Hockey Championship, set for April 3-8 at the Ice Centre of San Jose.
The international tournament, which is in its inaugural year, is presented
by Koho and will be hosted by USA Hockey and the San Jose Sports Authority.
The tournament announcement was made by USA Hockey International Council
Chairman Robert Allen (Lake Placid, NY), USA Hockey Executive Director
David Ogrean (Colorado Springs) and Dean Munro (San Jose) of the San Jose
Sports Authority.
"Interest, enthusiasm and support for women's ice hockey is at an all-time
high not only in the United States, but around the world," said Ogrean.
"We're proud to bring an international event of this caliber, which
features four of the leading women's ice hockey teams in the world, to the
hockey fans of San Jose."
According to USA Hockey Director of National Teams and International
Activities Art Berglund (Colorado Springs), the United States and Canada
stand as two of the top medal contenders heading into the 1998 Olympic
Winter Games in Nagano, Japan, where women's ice hockey will make its
Olympic debut. The International Ice Hockey Federation has organized three
World Championship tournaments for women's ice hockey (1990, 1992 and
1994), with Canada edging the United States for the gold medal each time.
China was the surprise team of teh 1994 IIHF Women's World Championship,
finishing fourth in the eight-team tournament. Japan did not qualify for
the 1994 IIHF Women's World Championship but, as host nation for the 1998
Olympic Winter Games, will receive an automatic bid to the tournament in
Nagano.
"The 1995 IIHF Pacific Women's Hockey Championship should provide an
excellent preview of what promises to be an intense, well-played tournament
at the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Japan," said Berglund.
Tickets for the 1995 IIHF Pacific Women's Hockey Championship will go on
sale March 17 and may be purchased at the San Jose State Events Center
(Mastercard, VISA and Discover cards accepted) or the Ice Centre of San
Jose (cash purchases only). Prices range from $10 for a daily double-header
ticket, $15 for a championship day double-header ticket and $40 for an
all-tournament ticket package (includes all 10 games).

Welcome, Maria. I have a little (sorry that it is typical, but I must
tell someone) story about a boy learning how to play with a girl. This
boy who happens to be a bartender at my local watering hole asked me if I
played hockey. When I said yes, he told me about his reborn sportsmanship.
And his story went something like this:
I've been playing pick up ice hockey, but now I've really gotten into
this roller-blade thing. But the other day this girl was playing and I
had never played with a girl. She was doing pretty good [his grammar not
mine] and then when we came close she was getting physical. I thought
"oh, she's flirting with me!" [To give him the benefit, I must interject
that his smile showed his 20/20 hindsight] I started getting physical
back, until she dumped me on my butt.
Guess what bar-keep: she wasn't flirting, she was playing hockey.
It's too bad he started with that mentality, but it's nice to hear that
he learned something.
