A playmaker is someone who gets three assists.

Subject: Re[2]: Safety In Numbers (A poll of list members)
Our team, Chesapeake Bay Lightning B, has had players from age 11 to
46! We don't have a minimum age, but we have found that younger girls
sometimes feel uncomfortable playing with women their mother's age and
older. Our 11 year was one of our best players, with a great future
in hockey, and just wanted to play and learn to play better. Others
have not had such a mature attitude, and have gone on to find other
places to play.
In our case, if the desire is there, it's really the skater's
preference.
Good luck!
Jan.

Subject: smelly equipment
One of the women on my team found a trick to keep gloves from smelling
so disgusting. I tried it, and it really works.
Get a cedar stick up, or a small bag of cedar chips for freshening
closets or drawers, and place on inside each glove when you undress.
This helps them dry out faster, and helps the smell. They don't smell
like cedar, and they don't smell like rotten leather. Very easy and
effective!

Thanks for all the great feedback re mouthguards. I am definitely going out
to get one pdq. My daughter (11) plays in Aurora, Ontario, Canada, and
neither the Ontario Women's Hockey Association nor our local league or
association to my knowledge requires a mouthguard as part of the equipment.
I don't believe anyone on the team wears one. I wonder if the team were to
play in a tournament in the U.S., would they all have to wear one. In any
event, it seems to make good sense. My husband favours one that attaches to
the cage, so I will get one of those. I am also going to pass all of your
comments along to the coaches and trainer on my daughter's team.
I have taken the Level 1 Hockey Trainer's Certification Course in Toronto,
and I do not remember this being covered or recommended, although it seems
pretty important to me as a safety issue.
Thanks again for all the very useful comments.

I've played in a few tournaments in Canada and in the US. I think
(but could be wrong) that most Canadian tourneys require a neck guard
but no mouthguard, while the US tourneys require a mouthguard but no
neck guard. So, when a team travels to the other country for the
first time, they end up making a frantic, last-minute run to the store
to buy a bunch of neck/mouth guards so that everybody can play. :)
I've also observed that those who are used to wearing one guard can't
imagine why it is not required in the other country, and, at least
initially, see the requirement of wearing the other guard as strange
and annoying. Funny how these things work...

In fact this discrepancy was the subject of a recent (12-18 months ago?)
agreement between the CHA and USA Hockey. Now, the USA Hockey teams are
required to wear the equipment specified by USA Hockey when they play in
Canada (i.e. mouthguards but not throat protectors), and Canadian teams
also follow the same equipment rules they follow at home, when they play in
the States (i.e. throat protectors but not mouthguards.)
When the rule was new, I found it helpful to carry a copy of the agreement
(it was in American Hockey magazine) with us to tournaments, because some
referees and tournament organizers were not familiar with it.

I played hockey for one year in Ontario before moving to the US (July
1995). In Ontario, I never heard of wearing mouthguards and don't recall
anyone doing so (adult rec league). Mind you, in Ontario we had to wear
neckguards and here we do not (so I am the only one on the team to wear
one all the time!).
Regarding what is required at tournaments...when our US based team
competed in Brampton we did not have to wear neck guards, whereas all Cdn
teams had to do so. It might be a big assumption, but I would think the
same would hold true for Cdn teams competing here and not being expected
to wear mouthguards. Of course, all of this has more to do with what the
insurance company decides is a necessary piece of safety equipment.

If your daughter's team played in a Hockey USA santioned tournament,
and the officials were following the rules, yes, they would all have
to have mouthguards!

No, we don't have to use a mouthguard when we are in the States. If you
are governed by the OWHA (Ontario Women's Hockey Association) then we must
abide by OWHA's rules on equipment regardless of where we play.
Conversely, some American teams that we have played in Canada do not have
to wear neck guards since their governing association do not regulate them
to.

Whoa whoa. When I say "laid her out flat" I mean that she got a well-deserved
shove that put her on the ice quite firmly. I should also add that she was the
antagonist throughout the game and was quite rude (swearing, etc). I must
reiterate that my shoves wouldn't actually hurt anybody (I'm just a little guy). I
can confirm nonetheless that these were not honourable intentions to be sure.
Furthermore, I was not hiding behind anybody - the game had ended, I was
skating to the bench, she got up off the ice swinging blindly and happened to
find someone who was not me. She didn't care - she just kept swinging. It
was actually quite humourous because she was such a b$#%^ throughout the
game.

your fighting story is not something to be proud of (especially since you hit
someone and then hid behind your other teammates...)
Plus the fact that you "laid her out flat" after she did something that
could have "hurt" you is contradictory to your "honorable" intentions....
It's JUST a game.....Chill out....

Subject: Miscellaneous equipment
Message-ID:
I would like to add a comments regarding finding well fitting equipment:
When I started playing here in Houston almost three years ago, I found
very little adult equipment available and almost no good advice. A
friend and I measured ourselves all over and called Hockey One in
Conneticut. They are the pro-shop in the rink where the Whalers play.
Apparently they have a women's team and are pretty decent at fitting
women. Amazingly enough, we ordered complete equipment for two very
different shaped women - and it all fit!
After a couple of weeks, Carol opted for longer cuff gloves and shorter
elbow pads, and I switched to shorter elbow pads - but, I LOVE the rest
of my equipment. I think that the guy who helped me did a pretty good
job.
An added bonus, for those of you who live by mail-order, is that Hockey
One ships anything and everything (ever two complete sets of equipment)
for $8. So, if you live in a *hockey deprived* area, check out Hockey
One: 1-800-hockey-one.
And one more plug for the Shock Doctor mouth guards. My soccer friends
reccomended it and I LOVE it. I found that it was easier to mold than
the cheaper ones and I like the string to wear around my neck. (I never
could get the cheaper ones molded right - I don't know why.) As an
adult with TMJ who just spent $3000 on braces - I wouldn't be without
the jaw and teeth protection.

1. never check a goalie
2. Never check the popular girl on a guys team.
Here is the story that applies to the second unwritten rule of hockey.
THIS IS A TRUE STORY!
There is this lady who plays for a proffesional womens hockey team now
but when she was in her teen years she played for a guys team. It was
her first year of checking so she really wasn't paying attention to it.
She went towards the boards head down for the puck not even paying
attention to who was coming after her. So guy rammed her into the
boards. She went down and was slow to get up. When she did get up she
went to the bench.
When the guy that hit her went to the boards trying to get the puck out
of his zone the right wing on the girl's team blasted the guy who hit
her. There was a delayed penalty so play was still on. He went towards
center ice and the Left wing gave him a nice hard shove. By than two
penelties were being called. After the whistle had blown the defensman
from the team went over and checked the guy who hit the girl. Now there
were three penelty's being called.
After a while the girl decided to play again. Same situation as before.
She went into the boards head down with the same guy about to check her.
Right before the guy checked her the girl turned around and blasted him.
He went to the ice and did not get up!
NOW YOU SEE WHY THAT IS THE SECOND UNWRITTEN RULE OF HOCKEY!
