Subject: co-ed entry level
Message-ID: 

my name is julee and i am 28. i have scarcely been skating (ice) for six
months.  i am going to be on an entry-level co-ed team (adult recreational)
for the summer and am the only woman on my team.  there are very few other
women in the league overall.  

last night we watched the entry level evaluations. since i was already on a
team i didn't have to "try out."  what i wondered about was that many of the
other players seem very good, almost too good to be on entry-level.  there
are four other tiers they could go into.

is this usual for entry-level?  it makes me rather hesitant since i am such a
beginner and my team and i have almost no ice experience.  most of the rest
of my team is a roller hockey team that wants to try ice.  they are a great
bunch of guys and i believe they will be supportive of my endeavor.  luckily
they have several years of stick-handling experience, but most of them can
barely stop!

maybe it is just "off balance" because this is phoenix and there are only two
ice rinks for a million people in the metro area.
