Subject: Women vs. Men coaching etc.
In my opinion, there are two things needed for women's hockey to really
take off. First, girls 8 and under need their own category, mites, atoms,
whatever they be called. I know they have them in Canada, but in the US
its either play with the squirts (12 and under), or play on a boys mite
team.
Secondly, women 18 and older that have been playing for some time, need
and should have opportunities to coach. And if that means some men need to
step aside, so be it. I think if male coaches are in women's hockey for
all the right reasons, they will agree. If they want to stay involved
there is always room for good assistants.

In response to the post regarding helmet causing skin irritation, you probably have some bacteria in the chin cup and helmet padding. It won't go away without help, and you may have to get new equipment if you can't solve it. Bleach may help but it breaks down the equipment. Laying your helmet in the sun on a low humidity day may also help. One of our referees in Minnesota had the infection and his doctor recommended new equipment and told him to be sure his helmet dried out thoroughly between uses. This is difficult in the summer time when playing inline. There are drying products out on the market for hockey and inline equipment that cost around $100-$150. I have been a sales representative and my family uses the dryer (we actually argued about who gets to put their equipment on it each evening during the high school hockey season because we practiced every day) on a daily basis to keep the equipment dry, fresh smelling and in good shape. The Gear Tender is portable if you travel to tournaments and can be set up in the corner of a hotel room to dry everything overnight. It is also good for hunters, soccer players, etc., who want dry equipment. I now own two dryers because we didn't have enough space to dry the equipment of three people. If you would like information, contact me at email@hidden and I can send you a brochure. It plugs into the wall, has a forced air system and refillable fragrance compartment. It extends the life of your equipment, organizes your equipment area taking only two square feet of floor space and helps you keep track of your gear. We haven't had a problem with skin irritation since we started using it. My daughters have had problems in the past with shinguards and elbow pads becoming infected with bacteria, but this has been solved by thorough drying.

Subject: rejuvenating used gear
Hi all,
Does anyone know what to do about cleaning second hand gear? I was given a
used goal glove which has rust around the eyelets from being left in the
bag and also hasn't been properly aired. I'm not sure how to get the rust
off the eyelets without wrecking the synthetic fabric. Regarding the
airing, I heard at one time that activated charcoal could be placed inside
the glove in a porous bag and that would absorb the perspiration from the
previous usage. It's a beautiful glove only a year old and I'd like to get
it back into good shape as otherwise it's like new. Any suggestions would
be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Lisa
