Message-ID:
Here's some information about women's hockey in Australia. This
information is from the National (Canadian) Team summer bulletin
which is put out by the CHA (Canadian Hockey Association):
"The first national women's ice hockey final was held in Sydney,
Australia in February 1995. Interest in the sport is growing, and
organizers are convinced of the viability of national competition. A
development league started last year (1994-95), and it consists of
under-14, under-16, under-18, and under-21 women's teams. Girls as
young as 11 and 12 years of age are taking over the ice, and they are
developing well. With women's ice hockey being accepted as an Olympic
sport, publicity officer, Carol Freeman, believes it is only going to
get better in Australia."
I have added this information to my international women's hockey web pages.
I now have information on women's hockey in the following countries:
United States Finland Sweden Switzerland
Norway Germany China Great Britain
Russia Latvia Denmark France
The Netherlands Japan Italy Australia
Some of the information is pretty limited, so if you can provide any
more information whatsoever, please email it to me and I'll add it.
There are a number of countries for which I currently don't have any
information at all. Again, please send any info my way and I'll add
a web page. Much thanks to those of you who have already contributed.
Currently no info for these countries:
Czech Republic
Slovakia
Ukraine
Austria
South Africa
Yes, there really is hockey in South Africa!! A team has contacted
the North York Aeros organization (north of Toronto), and is trying
to arrange a trip to Canada for some exhibition games. Initial contact
was made over two years ago, but to date nothing has been arranged, as
money seems to be the limiting factor.
