Hi Karen,

Yes, the other teams were in higher divisions than McMaster. The reason
is that we wanted to set it up so that the Netherlands would play a
variety of different levels of games. The Senior AA games were set up
so that they'd get to see what it's like to play against stronger women's
teams than they've experienced. The game against Mac was arranged to
give the Netherlands a closer game.

There's a good chance that Mac will regain its varsity status in the
near future (possibly as early as next season). This year was a trial
year for them. They played a home and an away game against each team
in the OWIAA league. I'm not sure how they did against other teams in
the league, but since I play for the University of Toronto, I do know
the scores for our games:
SEPTEMBER 29, 95 U of Toronto 13 -vs- McMaster 1 7:00 (Home)
FEBRUARY 3, 96 U of Toronto 17 -vs- McMaster 1 12:00 (Away)
They were pretty weak, but hopefully if they do become a varsity
program, they'll attract some better players. If their status
changes to varsity, I'll update the info on the university hockey
women's web page:

Hi
I am looking for information on the Mich Tech team that is playing in the
Twin Ports Inv in Duluth, MN. My wife's team is going up there and we might
see them in the semi's. I hope someone reads this it would be fun to meet an
internet address :-) Perhaps a wager on the outcome of a potential match? I
could perhaps give you some pointers on the Bladerunners (Mich Tech's first
game).
Look forward to the Tournament
Good Luck'

Thanks, Andria! Thrilled to hear that womens' hockey may regain varsity
status! I think you are right about attracting some better players once
their status changes. I recall that many potential players opted to
concentrate on other teams such as the Goldenhawks (not that that
necessarily helped that team!). I am a little curious as to how they
might regain status as the issues resulting in the cutting of the team
have not, to my knowledge, been resolved. Nonetheless, great news!
Thanks,
Karen

Subject: girls team vs. boys teams
Message-ID:
Recently our squirt team has run into sort of a problem, that I
would be interested to hear others opinions on.
Our team is the only all girl team playing in the predominantly
boys state league here in Rhode Island. The league has allowed our team,
and other level teams from this all-female organization to participate in a
full schedule of games all year, with the understanding that they would be
exhibition games only. Meaning that they would NOT be eligible for any
tournament at the end of the year. This was never a issue until now
because the squirts were never competitive before. This year however,
playing in the B division, the squirts are 7-2-3 and have had very close
games all year. Most contests have been decided by only a goal or two.
Three times the organization has asked the governing body of the
state league to allow the squirts into there year end tournament, each time
they have been rejected.
The excuse the state league is giving for there action stems from
the regulation that allows female squirt players, on an all female team, to
be up to 12 years old. This rule is clearly spelled out on page 58 of the
USA Hockey 95/96 Guidebook. The reason it's there is to help promote
womens/girls hockey by making more players available to each level. In the
small pool of players available here in RI, this is the only way we could
possibly field a team.
The state league board has decided not to follow this rule however,
which apparently they have the right to do.
Our argument is that, based on the play of the team all year, the
ages of the girls doesn't seem to be a factor. These girls are no bigger
physically than the other teams, and there is no checking at the squirt
level anyway. The tournament is a B level, and does not lead anywhere
else. What is the harm in letting them play?
I would be very interested in hearing from others they may have
been caught in this dilemma, or if you have an opinion either pro or con
with any of the above.

I am forwarding to the list the results of the first ever Girls Apple
Cup held in Wenatchee, WA the weekend of Feb 24-25th. The results were
sent to me by Dave O'Leary who coordinated the tournament. His
daughter and my two daughters played on the Wenatchee team. The
teams were 11-17 year old girls from Spokane, Seattle, and Wenatchee,
WA and Armstrong, Surrey and Langley from B.C., Canada. The format
was as follows: 2 points were awarded for each period won and two
points for each game won. In addition, one point was awarded to the
team with the least amount of penalty minutes. As can be seen from
the point spread between the top 4 teams, it was a close competition.
The girls all had a great time and some excellent hockey was played.
It is hoped that this will become an annual event, and become larger
in the coming years, expanding to a true tournament format. Most of
the teams will be playing in Armstrong BC the weekend of March 16-17
in the North Okanogan Spring Thaw tournament. Good luck to all the
participants.

Spokane won and Armstrong came in Second with Surrey in third.
Spokane 19 1/2 points
Armstrong 17 points
Surrey 16 points
Wenatchee 14 1/2 points
Langley 10 1/2 points
Seattle Jr. 3 points
Seattle Jrs. got the Sportsmanship Trophy. They played Langley on Sunday and
it
was just a great game to watch. All the girls from both teams were cheering
each
other on and helping each other up of the ice when they fell during a whistle
it
was a great game that had alot of sportsmanship in it.
I'm sure Seattle Jrs. don't have very many Sportsmanship Trophys in their
showcase. These girls earned it.

Are these girls' teams part of the league? What do you mean by "state
league?"
If you aren't members of the league, I am not sure you have an
argument, as ANY team not in a league would not be allowed to
participate in a league tournament. Maybe the course you have to take
is to begin the process for the girls' teams to join the league, and
therefore be eligable to participate in the tournament each year.
If you are members of the league, then I don't understand excluding a
team for any reason - including gender!
I am sure that someone from the Women's Ice Hockey fund can either
address this, or pass it on to someone who can, right Julia?
Good luck,
Jan.

I'm not sure you can qualify this as an "excuse". In order to participate in
USA hockey sanctioned tournaments, USA Hockey guidelines/rules must be followed.
This includes all age barriers.

in a league setup and on a regular basis.

I would think allowing it would be setting a precedent which the league may not
want to start. Granted this years team sounds like they are competitive, but
if the league lets this team participate, what do they tell the team next year
who are unable to compete and use the fact that your team was granted permission
this year as an argument for them to be allowed in.
Don't take my comments the wrong way here, I'm not at all against girls
competing with boys, (my daugher players for our boys Mite 'A' travel team)
it's just that if they are going to compete in sanctioned tournaments, then
all the rules must be followed by both teams.
>I would be very interested in hearing from others they may have

PS. On another note, my Squirt team just won the John W. Kennedy Memorial
tournament in Providence, RI 2 weeks ago. It was a great tournament, and
the people were very friendly there. Do you play against any of the
teams which participated in this tournament? We played, NJ Rockets,
Northern RI, Nasuha (?), South Boston MA, Framingham MA. NJ Rockets had a
very good female goalie, and several of the other teams had girls on the them
as well.

BROWN SWEEPS AND GETS HELP FROM PROVIDENCE
TO REPEAT AS ECAC REGULAR SEASON CHAMPIONS
It was an exciting finish on the final weekend of regular season play,
as the Brown Bears came from second-place to claim the ECAC title for
the second consecutive season. Brown knocked off first-place New
Hampshire in a come-from-behind win, 5-4, and then dropped Colby, 8-3.
The Bears also needed help from Providence, as the Lady Friars downed
UNH, 5-3, to give Brown a one-point advantage in the final standings.
PC finished with two wins on the weekend as well, helping to secure
home ice for the first round of the playoffs. The Cornell Big Red won
its last five games to put a lock on fifth place. They were the
biggest surprise by far this season, moving up from a 10th-place
predicted finish in the pre-season Coaches' Poll. Dartmouth College
(who also swept this weekend) was another big mover this season, as it
captured a third-place finish, moving up from a predicted sixth-place
finish. No Ivy League school has ever won the ECAC Championship title,
and Brown is the only Ivy to win the regular season title. Providence,
UNH and Northeastern have held a strangle-hold on the championship. PC
owns six titles, UNH has four and NU has two. PC has won the last
four. Colby's Meaghan Sittler claims the ECAC regular season scoring
title with totals of 27-25-52. The top goalie is PC's Meghan Smith
with a 1.70 goals against average in 10 games.
THE BAUER/ECAC PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Katie King, Brown (Salem, NH) - Junior forward Katie King scored the
biggest hat trick of her career, to propel Brown to a 5-4 come-from-behind
win over previously undefeated New Hampshire. The Bears were down 4-2 and
King scored three unanswered goals to record the upset. She also assisted
the first goal. Then against Colby she added one goal and two assists to
cap a seven-point weekend and an undefeated ECAC season for Brown.
THE COOPER/ECAC ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Erin Magee, Boston College (Troy, NY) - For the fifth time this season,
Magee claims Rookie of the Week honors. In three games, the rookie center
recorded seven goals and three assists. She now holds the school single
season record for goals (39) and points (64).
ECAC Women's Hockey Release #13, February 26, 1996
ECAC HONOR ROLL
Laurie Baker, Providence (Concord, MA) - The freshman forward scored her
fifth consecutive game-winning goal in a 4-1 win over Colby. She finished
with 2-1-3 on the weekend.
Andrea Blakely, St. Lawrence (Nepean, ONT) - A junior forward, Blakely
notched two goals and three assists in a win and a loss for the Saints.
Janna Dewar, Cornell (Regina, SASK) - A sophomore center, Dewar scored
three goals and one assist in two Cornell victories, including two PPGs
versus Northeastern.
Tricia Dunn, New Hampshire (Derry, NH) - A senior left wing, Dunn scored
two goals against Brown and added a power play goal against Providence.
Karen Emma, Brown (Cranston, RI) - A junior forward, Emma tallied five
points playing in just one game last weekend. Emma scored four goals and
added an assist on the way to an 8-3 win for Brown.
Melissa Junkala, Cornell (Val Caron, ONT) - The rookie goalie earned a
3-0 shutout over Northeastern to help secure fifth place in the ECAC. She
made 41 saves in the Big Red's first-ever shutout of the Huskies, boosting
her record to 8-0-0 and her goals against average to 1.42
Karen McCabe, Providence (Quincy, MA) - A senior defender, McCabe
collected two goals and two assists in two PC wins. She had the
game-winner versus UNH and assisted the game-winner versus Colby.
Mandy Pfeiffer, Princeton (Davison, MI) - A junior center, Pfeiffer had a
hat trick and two assists in a win over BC, along with Princeton's only
goal in a 2-1 loss to Dartmouth.

Message-ID:
Last year, at the WA State championships ("B" level), a girls Pee-Wee team was
allowed in the same division as the Boys Squirt teams, and won the championship
in the squirt division in a double overtime final.
The USA hockey guidelines specify that girls playing on boys teams must observe
the same age limits, and that when playing on girls teams, they observe the
girls age limits. There is nothing in the USA hockey guidelines which
delineates regulations for boys playing against girls teams. This leaves it
open to interpretations such as the one the Pacific Northwest AHA made last
year. (At this year's championships, the girls team was not entered).

***** NOTES from HARRIS, zharris (zharris @ PACINST) at 2/27/96 2:25 PM
Dave and Tom-
Thanks for the Apple Cup results. It was great to see...however-
It would be great if you could clarify the teams a bit more on the results
of the Girls Apple Cup. There are several girl's teams from the areas you
listed (i.e. Langley and especially Seattle Jr.) with different levels and
different team names that fall under the ages of 11 to 17 years old.
Also, I must disagree that Seattle Jr. "don't have very many Sportsmanship
Tropheys in their showcase." And yes, I am sure they earned it.
