Hello.
I have received several requests for information on an adult women's team in
Joliet, IL. Since there is not one YET, I am compiling a list of players
who are interested in forming a team. Beginners and experienced players are
welcome. When enough women have expressed interest, a team formation meeting
will be held and officers will be elected to run the team.
If you are interested in being a part from the start, please e-mail me your
name, age, hockey/skating experience, and contact information.
Keep Skating!

McGill clinches 2nd in Quebec
The McGill Martlets secured a home playoff date with a 3-1 victory
at Universite de Quebec at Trois Rivieres, Sunday, in Quebec University
Women's Hockey League action.
Rookie Sarah Lomas opened the scoring at 3:37 of the first period
when her shot deflected off a UQTR defender and past netminder Stephanie
Vinet.
The Patriotes evened the count 52 seconds before the period buzzer.
Caroline Proulx poked a loose puck past McGill goalie Kim St. Pierre.
It remained 1-1 until 4:07 of the third period when McGill regained
the lead on Cindy Gosselin's marker. She found an opening on a goal
mouth scramble. Sophie Acheson scored an insurance marker with 2:05 to
play to give McGill the 3-1 victory.
The win clinched second place in the University Division and gives
McGill a 2-0-1 record vs the Patriotes, who finished 3rd at last years
C.I.A.U. National Championship. These two clubs will meet at McGill in
mid-February to decide an opponent for undefeated Concordia in the
league final. The winner of the all-important semi-final match will also
gain a berth in the National Tournament to be held in Toronto, as two
representatives from Quebec will participate.
McGill and UQTR will meet once more before that semi-final game.
This Wednesday the two clubs square off in a rematch at McGill. Game
time is 7:00 p.m.
McGill's league record improves to 5-3-1. UQTR is 3-5-1.

Cab,
Go for it. My high school senior was in your position. She figure skated
til age 14 then gave it up because it was too awful. She started to play
hockey as a junior, and is having a great time. Not only is it great
exercise and a fine stress reliever when you have a pile of college
applications to do, it gives you a real entree. She has made contact with
the managers/coaches/captains of all her college choices (except UC San
Diego, what do you expect from Surf City). She has a better insight into
life at those places. It has made the search a little easier by putting a
face and personaliaty to the places. Hockey really makes the world smaller
and more accessible. Good luck.
Debbie

Have her check if there is a roller hockey team there. Roller hockey has
started to take off at the high school level; my daughter has played for three
years for her high school team. San Diego has a very strong program and was
one of the first areas to actually sanction the sport (we're still working on
that in Orange County). The teams are co-ed, and she's been the only girl all
three years, but she still really enjoys it. A lot of the colleges are
starting to field roller hockey teams also. Even though they are still club
sports, it's a great opportunity to get out there and play.
I know Cal State Univesity Long Beach fields an ice hockey team (again co-ed),
but not sure about UCSD.

Hockey Academy Launches=20
High Performance Women's Hockey Program
=46or Immediate Release
(Stowe,
VT)Times
Mt. Mansfield Winter Academy (MMWA) a private secondary school located
in Stowe, Vermont and the North American Hockey Academy (Stowe, VT)
have announced the opening of a Women's Hockey Program starting in the
fall of 1999. Mt. Mansfield Winter Academy, with a 15 year history and
excellent reputation as a competitive ski academy designed to provide a
quality education for elite athletes with a strong interest in ski
racing and snowboarding, will expand and provide the same services for
a high-performance hockey program for young women, run by The North
American Hockey Academy. Lori Furrer, founder and Director of the Mt.
Mansfield Winter Academy, "We are very excited about the addition of
the student-athletes from the girl's hockey program, and the energy and
excitement that this new discipline will bring to the Academy. We look
to providing these young women a rewarding combination of excellence in
academics and athletics that will assist them to reach their goals."
The new Women's Hockey Program will provide a unique opportunity for
high school aged girls who are serious athletes interested in reaching
their potential both athletically and academically. MMWA is a fully
approved secondary school, sanctioned by the Vt. State Board of
Education. The educational program is a tutorial which allows the
athletes to pursue an intense training and competition program, while
insuring a top quality academic experience. MMWA student-athletes enter
their home schools in September and participate in a regular schedule
of classes and activities. During the Fall, the MMWA Director of
Studies, in conjunction with the home schools, prepares a fully
integrated program that meets each student's needs. Students come to
the MMWA campus in early November and attend daily classes, prepare
homework, and take exams all on a one-to-one basis using their home
school curriculum. Lori Furrer continued, "Our goal is to provide an
enriching, healthy environment where young athletes are challenged to
seek their personal best. We define this challenge for each individual
in terms of academics, athletics, and personal growth. We take pride in
the success of our skiers in their competition and academically, and
expect our hockey players will achieve the same high standards."
The tutorial nature of the educational program creates flexibility that
affords the Academy tremendous training and competitive advantages over
alternatives. The team competes at the very highest level against
preps, colleges, select teams, and internationally and at the most
prestigious, high-profile tournaments in the U.S. and Canada. Bill
Driscoll, Director of North American Hockey, brings a wealth of
experience to the program, with years of coaching at very high levels,
including USA Hockey Regional Tournaments and Select Festivals. His
former players are currently rostered at U.S. colleges, major-junior,
preps and the U.S. National Development Team. He is a USA Hockey Master
level coach, and co-founded the Foundation for Hockey Development with
Bill Beaney, Head Coach of Middlebury College. The Foundation is
renowned and acclaimed internationally for its approach to developing
players. "This is a unique and very exciting opportunity for young
women. The tutorial program allows us allows flexibility in our daily
and weekly schedules to structure an incredible training program, and
to travel to play against the best competition available while
maintaining a quality academic program that will give our players the
best opportunity possible to play in college and on national teams,"
Driscoll explained. "There is tremendous excitement and support in
women's hockey circles, nationally and internationally, for this
program."
The program demands extraordinary commitment and dedication
athletically, academically, and socially. Potential student-athletes
should be motivated, organized, and have a sincere interest in
self-improvement. We seek players from both Canada and the U.S. who are
interested in improving their game, playing at a very high level and
receiving exposure to colleges and universities. Applications are
currently being accepted.

DEVELOPMENT OF NEW MIDWESTERN WOMEN'S COLLEGIATE HOCKEY LEAGUE CONTINUES
MADISON, Wis.--The Western Collegiate Hockey Association took another big
step forward towards the formation of a new midwestern women's collegiate
hockey league Sunday when conference administrators, meeting at the NCAA
convention in San Antonio, Tex., passed a motion that entertains and
supports the concepts of a women's league with the intention of beginning
play in the fall of 1999, pending approval of articles of agreement and
operations.
"This is an exciting development both for the Western Collegiate Hockey
Association and the growth of intercollegiate women's ice hockey," said
Commissioner Bruce M. McLeod. "Our goal will be to formalize acceptance of
articles of agreement at our annual meeting this spring."
A new women's league would likely be adminstered under the auspicies of the
WCHA. A committee, chaired by St. Cloud State University athletic director
Morris Kurtz, will continue to develop the administrative program to
support the operation of the league.
Seven schools are included in the initial plans for the new women's
conference. They are: Bemidji State University; Minnesota State University,
Mankato; University of Minnesota; University of Minnesota-Duluth; Ohio
State University; St. Cloud State University; and University of Wisconsin.
