brief overview of your survey results in the Fall Issue of Women's

good time, plus your phone #...My email is email@hidden

I scrimmage w/ men about once a week, (play w/ women only 2 or 3 times a
week) and can offer the following things to strive for when playing with
them:
Skate faster than them, steal the puck away from them every chance you get -
but don't gloat about it, (you would not want to bruise their delicate egos)
and finally, don't let them hit you!!
