I'm not sure which team you are referring to in your post about the Christmas 
Cup, but as far as I know the US Women's Select team is playing in a holiday 
tournament in Lake Placid, N.Y. from December 27 to January 2. They will be 
facing off twice against Russia and Sweden. The championship game is 
scheduled for January 2 at a time yet to be determined. You can take a look 
at the team's schedule for the 1999-2000 season here: http://usahockey.com/nat

I just wanted to tell everyone that I had the chance to attend the game 
between the US Women's Select team and the Princeton Tigers at Baker Arena 
this past Wednesday. It was a great game with almost no stops in the play and 
only one penalty. Princeton played their hearts out, but came up short losing 
6-1. 

Our seats for the game were right behind the US bench, and it was truly 
awesome to watch the players up close and see how they played the game.

 I would highly recommend that if any of you are within a six or seven hour 
drive to the nearest rink that the US team has a game scheduled, to attend. 
We drove six hours from Pittsburgh to Princeton and it was definitely worth 
it! (Not to mention on the way home that we ran into the entire ECHL's Toledo 
Storm at a McDonald's!)

Happy Holidays everyone!

We went to the game in Princeton as well.  The most incredible thing to
note about the US Team is their skating.  There is so much strength and
agility.  They can go from 0 to 60 in a second.  Their edges would make a
figure skater happy.  I always thought that there was not enough time spent
on plain old skating, and too much worry about sticks etc.  When I watch
games, it is just so clear that improved skating would make a huge
difference in the play.  People just want to get their kids into hockey
gear and onto the ice.  We really need to shift back to basic skating
skills to bring up the level of play.

Jill,

    Today I called the Air Canda Centre and they said that you can purchase 
tickets for the USA/Canada game scheduled for February 4 at the Air Canada 
Centre box office or by calling Ticket Master Canada. I'll definitely be 
there!!
