Camp instructors and counselors will be current and former NCAA Division
I,
II, and III Women's Hockey Players and Coaches. NCAA rules prohibit the
use of collegiate athletes names for promotional purposes, so we are not
allowed to list our instructors. Last year we had 13 players and coaches,
along with 3 local coaches, and a 3 to 1 player to instructor ratio
throughout the camp - we will strive to maintain that ratio (except for
Women's Senior).
The camp is scheduled during one of the busiest weeks in Milwaukee
- -July 9-11: The Greater Milwaukee Open PGA Tour Event
South Shore Water Frolics (lots of fireworks at the
lakefront)
Bastille Days - French ethnic festival in Downtown streets
- -July 11: The Great Circus Parade
- -July 15-18: Festa Italiana - the nation's largest Italian ethnic
festival, on the lakefront. Best fireworks you'll ever see.
- -4 Milwaukee Brewer home games
We have lots of great things planned for the camp. What a great way for
your Daughter to get a great hockey camp with ALL FEMALE instructors, AND
for Mom to start playing hockey!!

Subject: Calling out for Mite (10 & Under) Girls teams
Waukesha County Youth Hockey Association (WCYHA) is looking for 10 & under
teams! Although not a USA Hockey age designation, we are lucky to have the
numers to skate a 10 & under team - possibly 2 teams! I know that
Minnesota has some tournaments for this age classifications and Canada also
has teams in this age group.
We are looking for TEAMS TO PLAY and TOURNAMENTS for 10 & under. We will
be using all the standard tournament searches (Let's Play Hockey, internet,
etc.)
Prefer midwest (we are Milwaukee based), but will entertain all opportunities.
Also, WE WANT TO HOST OUR OWN 10 & UNDER TOURNAMENT. It will most likely
be part of our successful Winter Deep Freeze Tournament February 18-20,
2000, but could be a Thanksgiving Tournament.

This isn't quite right. Canadian girls' teams use the same age groupings
as Canadian boys' teams. 11&under, as of Dec 31st, is Atom; 9&under on Dec
31st is Novice; kids younger than 8 are usually in Initiation Program
groups, but there are occasionally tournaments for Tyke (7&under).
Congratulations on the growth of your program!

From: "Tanya Martin"
Subject: helmet question
I need help to decide if I am a big worry-wart. I shipped my month old
Itech goalie helmet back to the manufacturer as there was a small amount of
rust at one of the mask's joints. The return instructions stated that the
helmet must be packed securely or it the return would not be accepted. I
bubble wrapped the helmet, placed it inside it's carrying bag then put it in
a sturdy cardboard box with packing paper around it.
When I received the helmet back it was in it's carrying bag in a flimsy box.
It had been shipped UPS ground and there are a couple crush marks on two
sides of the box.
I know the helmet it's self is designed to stop pucks but could damage have
been done in the shipping that would compromise the integritiy of the
helmet?
Also they just sloppily painted over the rust and I am worried that after my
warranty period is over the joint will have rusted through. Anyone have a
similar problem?
Thanks,
Tanya, #35

Hi Tanya,
From what you wrote, it sounds like folks did a sloppy job all around at
Itech. I would not trust a month old helmet with rust. It would be impossible
to guage how far through the metal is rusted. If you are playing with men,
the affected area could fail if hit in just the right spot. Our rec league
goalie plays in a men's rec league, too. She has taken some shots to her cage
that bent the metal in. I would not want to be behind some of those shots
wondering if the metal is going to just bend or fail completely.
Itech has a web site, but my system is so old, I can't navigate it. The
address is www.Globalsports.com/Itech. I would try to contact someone at the
company before I shipped it back in the mail again. If they don't offer a
replacement of the part outright, I would ship the whole thing back for a
refund with a letter detailing the risk associated with wearing defective
equipment.
And do keep us updated on the WIH newsgroup with your progress. I have not
bought anything by Bauer since 1994 because of shoddy workmanship and their
disinterest in correcting the problems I pointed out.

I cannot say that I have had any similar dealings with the company, but if
you bought almost anything that had malfunctioned within a month, the
manufacturer would replace it. Make sure you have the sales slip, and
start all over again, this time insisting that they replace the helmet.
There should be an implied warranty that a month old helmet should not
rust. Try going to the store, and perhaps they will work with you to
replace the helmet. Good luck.

GOPHER WOMEN'S HOCKEY AWARDS PRESENTED AT 2ND ANNUAL BANQUET
University of Minnesota women's hockey team presented awards to six players

The Gophers, who finished 29-4-3 and third at the American Women's College
Hockey Alliance Championship, presented awards for highest plus/minus

Brodt tied for the team lead in plus/minus rating (+52). Playing defense
for national champion New Hampshire last season, she was named the most
valuable player at the AWCHA Championship in 1998. Midway through her first
season at Minnesota, Brodt was moved to center where she scored 36 points
in the teamâs final 23 games, including a team-high 26 assists. On the
season, she finished with 14 goals and 45 points in 34 games. Nationally,
she finished ninth in assists (31) and tied for 15th in points (45).

Tied for the team lead in plus/minus rating (+52), Schmidgall finished in
the top five nationally in goals, assists and points, setting school
records with 33 goals, 38 assists and 71 points. She was fourth in goals
and points and tied for fifth in assists. Her nine power-play goals also
set a school record. A member of the 1998 U.S. Womenâs National Team which
won a gold medal at the Winter Olympics, she also competed on the 1999
national team that won a silver medal at the International Ice Hockey
Federation World Championships. She was the leading scorer at that
tournament with 12 points and was named the Most Outstanding Forward.
Schmidgall was also recently named an AWCHA second-team All-American.
Highest GPA Award÷Given to the player with the highest grade point average
during the previous spring, fall and winter quarters
Angela Borek, 5-10, Sophomore, Defense, Burnsville, Minn. (Burnsville)
Borek posted a 3.80 grade point average during the past year. She set
career-highs in assists (8), points (9) and plus/minus rating (+45). In
seven games against teams that participated in the AWCHA Championship, she
tied for the team lead with a plus/minus rating of +10.
Most Improved Player Award÷Given to the played who has, over the past
season or from last season to this season, shown the most improvement on

After recording 18 wins, five shutouts, a 2.21 goals against average and a
*903 save percentage a year ago, Killewald was expected to be one of the
Gophersâ mainstays in 1998-99. She surpassed all expectations by leading
the nation in goals against average (1.24) and save percentage (.947) while
finishing second in shutouts (7).
Unsung Hero Award÷Given to the player who has made a significant
contribution to the success of the team, on and off the ice, without
receiving a great deal of attention or publicity for her efforts
Laura Slominski, 5-3, Frosh, Right Wing, Burnsville, Minn. (Burnsville)
A year after earning the Ms. Hockey Award as the top senior high school
player in Minnesota, Slominski scored 32 points in 34 games for the
Gophers. She was second amongst the teamâs rookies in assists (22) and
plus/minus rating (+39). Slominski had six multiple-point games during a
seven-game stretch in the middle of the season, including a goal and an
assist against two-time Canadian national-champion Concordia to help
Minnesota to the High Peaks Hockey Classic title.
Most Valuable Player Award÷Given to the player who has made a tremendous
individual contribution to the program through her talent, attitude, and
hard work, both on an off the ice, in order to help the team achieve
success

the team, and the University of Minnesota with class, integrity, honesty,
dependability, responsibility, a positive attitude, an unselfish and

appreciation for privileges, and an awareness of my role as a member of
Gopher Womenâs Hockey"
Shannon Kennedy, 5-10, Junior, Left Wing, Woburn, Mass. (Buckingham Browne
& Nichols)
A transfer from Colby College, Kennedy entered the season as the most
experienced collegiate player on a team with 21 underclass
student-athletes. She proceeded to set career highs with 24 assists, 37
points and a plus/minus rating of +45. Kennedy tied for 12th nationally in
game-winning goals (4) and 18th in assists.
