I bought the magazine specifically for the hockey players after numerous
posts about the picture. I do love the picture but looking through the
rest of it - I will never buy it otherwise! I particularily liked the short
article on the women who bought inserts to put in her sports bra to make
her look good at the gym. Just what we need for women's sports (or fitness
for that matter), how to look good and attract men on the stair-stepper. I
thought I was reading Cosmo!

Hey all!
Just wanted to let you know what happened with the "Canadians on our team"
thing. We went to Fayetteville, NC this weekend and took the SE District
19-Under Championship, winning all five games we played. Although we are the
champions, the second place team advances to Regionals because yes, there were
no loopholes that we could find to allow our two players to go. But, we came
home with the trophy anyway. Everyone up in Fayetteville was great- the arena
was nice, we were given water bottles and stickers to take home, and the
weather was cold (a great change from down here in S. Florida).
Now its on to the State Championships next weekend in the Sunshine State
Games...

Subject: MINNESOTA WOMEN'S HOCKEY
THIS WEEK--Minnesota has the week off for final examinations. The Gophers head
into their brief respite with a 27-3-3 record.
MINNESOTA RECENTLY--The third-ranked Gophers started slowly but scored twice in
the second period and added four more goals in the third period to defeat
Minnesota State, Mankato 6-0 in the championship game of the Midwest Showdown,
Thursday at Mariucci Arena.
Despite being outshot 22-1 in the opening period, Maverick goalie Jenny Padget
kept her team in the game by shutting out Minnesota in the first period.
Ambria Thomas (Fairbanks, Alaska/West Valley) broke up the scoreless tie at 4:23
of the second period and Courtney Kennedy (Woburn, Mass./Buckingham Browne &
Nichols), who set up that goal, went end-to-end to make it 2-0 with 1:49 left in
the period.
The Gophers clinched the game with a four-goal third period, led by Winny Brodt
(Roseville, Minn./Roseville Area), who had a goal and two assists in the final
20 minutes.
Erica Killewald (Troy, Mich./Troy), who recorded her first career assist on
Thomas' goal, recorded her 17th win and seventh shutout of the season by
stopping 12 shots as Minnesota outshot its guests 54-12.
AWCHA CHAMPIONSHIPS--The pairings for the American Women's College Hockey
Alliance National Championship will be announced Sunday, March 21.
Harvard, the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference regular season champion,
received an automatic berth, as will the ECAC playoff champion. The AWCHA
Tournament/Selection Committee will determine the pairings via conference call
Sunday at 7 p.m. CST. Minnesota is ranked third in the U.S. College Hockey
Online coachesÍ poll and fourth in the USA Today/American Hockey Magazine poll.
GETTING OFFENSIVE--Last season, Emily Buchholz (Waupun, Wis./Waupun) led the
Gophers' defense with 12 assists. This season, three of the teamÍs blueliners
have surpassed that total.
Brittny Ralph (Brooklyn Center, Minn./Brooklyn Center) leads the Minnesota
defense with 17 assists while Courtney Kennedy has 16 and Buchholz has 15.
In all, the Gophers' regular group of six has scored 29 goals, led by Kennedy
with 15, and 96 points after accounting for two goals and six points Thursday.
In the win, five of six recorded points, with Kennedy registering a goal and an
assist.
ABOUT TO IMPLODE--Depth has been the biggest strength of the Minnesota team this
year, especially when it comes to scoring.
Last season, six Gopher players topped the 10-goal mark and seven reached 20
points. This year, 10 players have reached double figures in goals and 14 have
scored more than 10 points, including 11 who have topped 20 points.
Minnesota's top nine forwards have all reached the 10-goal and 20-point marks,
including six who have recorded at least 20 assists and eight who have scored at
least 30 points.
OUTGUNNING THE OPPOSITION--With an average advantage of more than 21 shots on
goal per game, the Gophers have overwhelmed a number of opponents this season.
In its last 11 games, Minnesota has outshot opponents 470-180,an average margin
of 42.7-16.4, with six games of more than 40 shots.
The Gophers have outshot their opponents 27 times this season and are a perfect
27-0-0 when doing so. On the other hand, they are 0-3-3 when being outshot.
PRECIOUS METAL--Minnesota frosh center Jenny Schmidgall (Edina, Minn./Edina)
returns from Finland with a silver medal in hand after leading the U.S. Women's
National Team to second place at the International Ice Hockey Federation World
Championships.
A member of the 1998 squad that won the gold medal at the Winter Olympics,
Schmidgall was named the Most Outstanding Forward of the World Championships
after leading the tournament in scoring with 12 points in five games. She had 11
points in three games during pool play and scored the American's lone goal in a
3-1 loss to Canada in SundayÍs gold medal game.
Schmidgall will return to the Gophers' lineup Monday, bringing back her 32 goals
and 34 assists, which give her a school-record 66 points on the season in just
29 games.
SHE'S A KILLER--Minnesota goalie Erica Killewald raised her nation-leading save
percentage and regained the lead in goals against average Thursday.
Killewald nows boasts a .948 save percentage and a 1.15 goals against average,
the lowest it has been since a season-opening 11-1 win over MSU, Mankato, Oct.
30.
In 23 starts, she has allowed more than two goals just twice and has seven
shutouts. Her save percentage has not been under .930 since stopping 35 of 37
shots in a 3-1 loss to Harvard in the Gophers' home opener, Nov. 5.
BOBBY WHO?„She may not make anyone forget Bobby Orr but Courtney Kennedy showed
off her rushing ability during the second period of Thursday's victory.
After Erica Killewald deflected a pass behind the net, Kennedy picked up the
puck, carried it to the boards and into the neutral zone on the right side
before hitting Ambria Thomas with a pass at the Minnesota State blueline,
leading to the gameÍs first goal.
Kennedy made it 2-0 late in the period when she picked up a loose puck in the
left corner of her own zone and headed up ice, deking a pair of Mavericks
defenders in the neutral zone before charging the net and scoring her 15th goal
of the season.
A LOOK IN TRAINING ROOM--Minnesota has lost the services of sophomore forward
Sarma Pone (Minneapolis, Minn./Minneapolis Southwest) for the remainder of the
season.
Pone suffered a broken clavicle during pregame warmups prior to Minnesota's
Midwest Showdown semifinal game with St. Cloud State, March 7.
NATURAL BORN KILLERS--The Gophers were 3-for-3 killing penalties against the
Mavericks. The second-ranked penalty killing team in nation, Minnesota has
allowed just two power-play goals in its last 17 games.
During that stretch, Minnesota had a 10-game streak of not allowing a power-play
goal and has killed 60 of its opponents' last 62 power plays.

categories last week, as were several Gopher players.

THE COACH--Now in her second season behind the Minnesota bench and ninth season
as a college head coach, Laura Halldorson has established herself as one of the
nation's premier coaches in womenÍs hockey, sporting a 107-85-15 overall record
and a 47-10-6 mark at Minnesota.
She began her head coaching career at Colby College, where she led the White
Mules, one of only two non-Division I schools at the time in the 12-team Eastern
Collegiate Athletic Conference, to a 12-9-1 overall record in 1995-96, earning
ECAC Co-Coach of the Year honors as well as being named the New England Hockey
Writers' Coach of the Year. While at Colby, she also recruited and coached ECAC
Player of the Year Meaghan Sittler.
At the national level, she was the assistant coach for the gold medal-winning
team at the 1998 U.S. Olympic Festival. In December, she will serve as an
assistant for the U.S. National team that competes in the Three Nations Cup in
Finland.
A native of Plymouth, Minn., and a 1981 graduate of Wayzata High School,
Halldorson played four years at Princeton, where she was a co-captain and
all-conference performer while leading the Tigers to three Ivy League titles.
She graduated from Princeton in 1985 with a degree in psychology.
A member of the 1987 U.S. National Women's Team and three national club
championship teams with the Minnesota Checkers, Halldorson returned to her alma
mater in 1987 to begin her collegiate coaching career as an assistant.
ITÍS HOME--The home of Gopher Women's Hockey is Mariucci Arena (9,700). One of
the finest college hockey facilities in the country, Mariucci Arena will be
Minnesota's home until the new women's hockey facility, scheduled to open in the
fall of 2000, is completed.
Known as one of the toughest arenas in the nation on visiting teams, the Gophers
are 24-4-5 in the five-year old building.
GONE POLLING--Minnesota maintained its number three ranking in the U.S. College
Hockey Online coaches' poll and its fourth spot in the American Hockey
Magazine/USA Today poll last week. Harvard remained number one in both polls.

Shawn,
I totally agree, and it makes me angry, because being from the pre-Title IX
generation sports weren't really available to me. So I have wanted my
daughters to have healthy attitudes towards participation. This type of
coverage is NOT what I want them to get. I let them read it, but we discuss a
lot about the stupidity of the articles. I guess like so much of the media we
have to gleen what is valuable and dump the rest. I really don't have much
hope that Sports Illustrated for Women will be any better. Maybe it will take
another generation before we can get a decent magazine published.

Subject: Re[2]: Women's Sports magazine
About two years ago (?) there was an introductory issue of Sports
Illustrated for Women. As I recall, it was actually very good - covered
women's sports simply as sports that happen to be played by women, not a
new market for bar inserts.
A regularly published magazine never materialized, though - at least we
can hope that the promised magazine follows the lead in by this issue
from a few years ago!
Speaking of which, I went to Borders looking for the Conde Nast issue
with the hockey players in it, and couldn't find it - what is the exact
title?
Thanks,
Jan.

Attention all women players in the Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Kentucky area.

division. We currently have 5 women's teams that are playing and are trying
to put togethor a 6th team. So far we have about 5 players and only need 5-6
more. Cost is only $30 per player. If anyone is interested, please email me
right away.
Thank You,

A few days ago, I received an issue of SI for Women, along with an offer for
a free trial subscription-- the next 3 issues that they are planning to put
out this year. It was much like the original 2 issues-- less Cosmo, more
SI. A couple of "girl" things like product reports (on things like running
shoes and athletic clothing) and a "sports horoscope", but also
sports-reltated articles like a college basketball tournament preview (even
if they did throw in celebrity "star picks"). And Meaghan Sittler and her
dad (Darryl) were featured in an article on female athletes and their
athlete parents. A great thing about this magazine is its coverage of
lower-profile sports like college lacrosse, which I rarely see covered
_anywhere_, especially out here in the midwest.
I haven't read the whole thing in depth yet, but it seems much more
promising than many others that have been mentioned. Even my once-beloved
"Shape" has long ago turned to the Cosmo edge. Try www.siforwomen.com for
more info-- it was listed on the subscription cards.

are you talking about the current issue of Women's Sport and Fitness (I
think?) with Michelle Kwan on the cover? I remember something in there (a
teammate of mine had a copy on a recent road trip... I think it was
March/April or April/May '99.)

Subject: Women's Sports magazines
I have been paying close attention to the comments about the articles
and ads in the women's sports magazines. From what I have experienced,
SI for Women, Women's Sports and Fitness, and Conde Nast Sports for
Women are all very similar. They have good articles and great
features. But, what seems a little lame is that they have clips about
the best makeup to wear while working out, or ads for sports bras with
underwire in them, or whatever.
Although this is a little disturbing, we have to realize that there
are women who won't workout/play sports unless they have makeup on or
look more endowed - it may make them feel more confident, and that's
the whole point of working out/playing sports. This is a fact that we
have to accept and support these magazines for what they are trying to
do for women and women's sports. Just turn the page and ignore the
clips that you don't like. BUT - if there is an ad for cigarettes or
liposuction, write the magazine a letter and complain. That's not
necessary in a sports magazine - but getting women into the gym and
onto the playing field is, so any way it happens is a good way.

You are right in that it is ridiculous talking about which makeup to wear to
the gym, which colors make you look slimmer, etc.
But, those of us who ARE more endowed have no problem with the ads for the
underwire sports bras. I hate to burst your bubble, but they are more for
function than vanity.
