I HATED the first pair of elbow pads I had; you have my sympathy. I
currently have Euro Super Pro 3000 S - and LOVE them. Amazingly enough,
a friend of mine was out shopping and picked them up for me. The shop
had just gotten a new shippment in, and there was a big selection for a
change. (We don't get alot of choices here.) She took a chance on them
fitting me - she didn't even have shoulder pads with her - and they have
worked out really well. They were pretty expensive ($50) but prices in
Texas are inflated. I have no idea what I should have paid for them,
but considering the choices I have down here, they are worth every penny
to me.
Gook luck finding some you like!

Is there anything we can do to help? (You have probably noticed that,
as a group, are very willing to write flaming letters of rightous
indignation.)
Melissa, any chance of reporting on this in GoGirl! ?
We have had alot of discussion lately how *respect* issues (sleazy
music, tacky half-times, juvinile advertizements) create situations like
the one Lyle is in. I have been really impressed by the amount of
support this list has shown regarding *respect* issues. The Firebirds
ice-access problem is (in my opinion) a *hard* issue (i.e. more horrible
and tangible than disrespect).
Lyle, you have my heartfelt support in this fight. Let me know if there
is anything I can do.

Hello,
I am fairly new to this newsgroup so I have missed a lot of the
information on smelly gear. I am only 14 and I play for a womens team in
New York. My equipment smells really nasty. I can no longer wear my
elbow pads because they have grown mold on them from being wet. Please
help me I would like to keep my equipment as clean as can be. Thanks

Subject: profiles & stinky stuff
Message-ID:
First, my tip on keeping your gear from stinking: the lazy woman's way!
I always unpack my equipment and leave it out to dry (in a room with good
air circulation is best- maybe a nice ceiling fan?) immediately when I
arrive home. This continues for about 9 months to 1 year until the gear
develops a stench beyond my tolerance, at which point I put everything
that doesn't have leather on it (usually just shin pads, shoulder pads,
elbows) into the bathtub, determine how deep the hot water needs to be to
cover everything, remove gear, fill the tub with water, add a cup or two of
bleach, mix well, add gear and slosh it around, empty the tub, fill it again
just with water & slosh...just repeat this process til you're satisfied that
most of the bleach has been washed out (along with some very obvious dirt).
The tricky part of this is that the equipment will take at least several days to
dry out- here in Tucson (land of low humidity) my gear can take up to 2 days
to dry (in my confined laundry room). I've been using this technique for a
few years now & it seems to work well!
Now for the personality profile:
Jenny Turner-Valle
age 26
I've been playing hockey for about 5.5 years now, I started back when I was
a junior by joining our physics department team. They were a bunch of male
grad students, of mixed abilities, who played the biology student team
once a week--they were also the nicest guys I've ever played with, no one
ever got penalties, no one lost their temper, everyone had good advice to
share, we had no real team captain, but between periods everyone would offer
a diagnosis of what had gone wrong & how to fix it...I can say I've never
played again on a team like it! Anyway, our university supported a women's
team with a short season (we would play from Dec. to March or so)- so I
joined that team, where I learned most of my positional play, skating
technique, etc. And since then, my life has been ruled by finding the next
ice arena! I played in Northern CA for a couple of summers when I interned
out there- where I met up with another bunch of nice guys, some of whom
were 69, 70, 71 years old at the time (and still playing at a semi-organized
drop in, with "young kids" who were 50 or so). These guys would all hone
their skills for the July Snoopy Senior Hockey Tournament in Santa Rosa,
where the fellows I knew played on Charles Schultz's team (creator of Snoopy).
Anyway--I couldn't move to Tucson for grad school until I knew that I
would be able to ice skate. I'm so obsessed with playing hockey! Now I skate
here at a coed pick-up, and we've been reorganizing our slightly scattered
women's team recently- so I've been busy.
As for equipment, I bought cheap to begin with, but now I've upgraded
almost everything...I love my Bauer 1000's (I have wide feet), my aluminum
Easton stick is great, I got a deal on some cushy Cooper 750 pants (like
wearing pillows- I don't feel those shots or hits anymore), my favorites
are the Hespler gloves (the only leather glove that felt broken in when I
tried them on), my Ferland elbows are ok, my cheap Vic shin pads will need
replacing when I get a real job, my ancient "Ride of the Valkyrie" Cooper
shoulder pads (complete with plastic breast-cups sewn on) will also need
replacement, and then there's my helmet: it's a nice Cooper, but my head
seems to be a little narrower in the back than the head it was designed
for-am I alone in this? (My husband's helmet seems to be much more snug
on him- if I adjust mine tighter I just get compression headaches.)
toodles!

Subject: List Poll
Message-ID:
Well I suppose its my turn to introduce myself (and my team)..
My name is Kristen and I am a 27 year old Hockey fanatic (to put it mildly)
in Thunder Bay, Ontario. I started playing Hockey in 1994 after seeing an
article in our local paper profiling women's hockey. My beginnings were
VERY humble but through hard work and ultra amounts of dedication, I have
progressed to be a decent B player so far with lots still to learn (do you
ever stop?).
Our team, the Thunder Bay Blades is made up of a variety of women all
brought together by the love of this sport. Before joining hockey I
thought " do I really want to be on a team with ONLY women?" I can now
answer that with a resounding YES! The team has come to represent to me
and my life much more than simply hockey, although that in itself would
have been enough. The team has become a constant source of enpowerment and
strength.
Although I still have many non-hockey friends, its with my hockey friends
that I feel most connected. We are very fortunate as well to have very
supportive husbands and boyfriends who come out and help at our practices
and join us on out of town tournaments (except for our annual 'girls only'
in Hoyt Lakes, MN).
Speaking of out of town tournaments, our team is definetly going to the
tourney in Las Vegas from Feb 27- March 2, 1997. It should be a blast! The
contact there is David and he can be reached at California Hockey
Productions, 1262 S. Barrington Ave. Suite 203, Los Angeles, CA 90025,
(310) 478-2826
We may need to pick up a few players for the tourney. If there is anyone
out there that is at a level B play of hockey and has a great attitude that
would be interested in joining our team in Las Vegas for the tourney, email
me and I will see what I can do.

Hi,
I don't play hockey, but two of my daughters (ages9 and 10) do. One hockey
player also figure skates, while one figure skater does not play hockey.
(Do you have that, you will need it for the exam.) Its hard to spend so
much time near the ice without either learning to love or hate it. So I
figured it would be best to love it. I am now a board member of our rink
and will shortly begin to do a little writing about hockey. I have gone
from living my life watching my kids to finding that hockey, ice rink, and
all the other things involved have given me so much. My next goal is to
learn to drive a Zamboni and sharpen skates.
I grew up outside of Toronto and spent almost every day after school
skating at my friend's rink in their back yard. That was the girl's rink.
Across the street was the boy's rink. Talk about galvanizing experiences.
We were all Peggy Fleming while the boys were all Rocket Richard or Frank
Mahovalich. It gives me such great pleasure to watch my girls go out and
choose their own role models. Its even funnier to see the 9 year old be
Eric Lindros at 7:30 AM and transform into Kristi Yamaguchi at 3:30 PM.
I really enjoy the list. Its interesting to see the evolution. Its gone
from stranger's names, to names you look forward to hearing from, to
friends. Here's to a great season for all of us.

Hello Betsy,
I too play hockey and I started when I was 13. I am in my second year
now. I am only 14. I live in New York and the city I Am in just started
a new girls team last year. I joined it and had a lot of fun. Sure I am
hoping to get a scholarship to a college with my hockey skills but that
doesn't matter as much as having fun and enjoying myself. You should
join a womens team. If you think that you want to make it a career all
you have to do is worl really hard that is all. Well let me know what
you decide to do.

To those with smelly gear, there is a product call STOP B.O. or maybe it's
called NO B.O., can't remember. Anyway, it's a spray and it works like a
champ! I spray all my stuff about once a week and let it air dry. Also, if
you have mold growing on your equipment, it means that you must be leaving it
in the bag after practice....NO NO, take it out and spread it around the
hallway to dry!
