Subject: Canadian National Team Camp
I attended a scrimmage at the National Team Selection Camp yesterday. It
was fast, hard hockey. While I've generally impressed with the level of
international women's play since I saw the first Worlds, I was disappointed
with the level of play at the last Worlds in Kitchener. Most teams seems
quite disorganized and there wasn't as much good passing and play making as
there had been in previous years. This seems to be over for the Canadians.
After being together in camp for only a week there was lots of evidence of
systematic plays and creative passing. All 40 of the women there could play
at the international level though a few could work on their skating.
The veterans looked good. Vicky Sonhara scored (perhaps twice?) although
she also got two penalties. Anglea James tipped in a nice pass down low.
Haley Wickenhieser [sp?], Cassie Campbell and Danielle Goyette showed great
skating and passing skills. Jana Heford played her usual hardnosed hockey.
There were also some good looking rookies in camp. Somer West impressed
with her skating. Tammy Shewchuk [again, sp?] scored a couple. Samantha
Holmes (yes you guessed it, my sis) blasted a goal into the top corner from
the top of the circle and displayed good two way skating.
Things are looking great for the team. I can't wait until 3 Nations!

I too was at the inagural game...and many thoughts since have run
through my head. While "We scored first" is the most important
memory, I was disappointed in the lack of "go-get-it-ness" by the
Wisconsin team. Yes, it was the first game and they were probably
nervous, etc, but I really expected more power and tenacity from the
players.
That said, it was a momentous event and I am glad to have been there
for it...

PS - Wendy - I play on the Milwaukee Revolution and have played on
the Waukesha Wildcats...perhaps we have met on the ice. When did you
play for Madison and where do you play now?

Message text written by INTERNET:email@hidden
>Everyone has said good stuff on this topic, but one thing I've learned:
No matter who you are or what your medical condition (MCL or C-Section or
whatever), find good medical help. Find people who take you seriously as
an athlete, even if you're only a weekend warrior. Don't be laughed at
for playing hockey, folks!<
I was one of the ones who had positive things to say about MCL sprain
recovery... and I must absolutely agree with this recommendation. I have
known too many people who had disasterous outcomes with very minor injuries
because they got incompetent or unhelpful "help". Find a sports
medicine/orthopedist who specializes in hockey injuries if you possibly
can, and only go to them if they take the amateur athlete seriously. The
doc who glued my aging knees back together is the team physician for our
minor league pro hockey team and several university programs here. I was
embarrassed - but reassured - to be doing physical therapy in the same room
on the same equipment with the same physical therapists and trainers that
were working on the injured pros. The staff was supportive throughout,
but I will admit I got some perfectly incredulous looks from the pro hockey
guys when they learned the old lady in knee brace on the next weight bench
got her injury playing ice hockey too ! You shouldn't accept anything
less than the best; while hockey may not be a paid job for most of us, our
knees are still in use full time, and you only get two knees in this world,
and they merit good attention when damaged.

Hi y'all! I don't remember who was asking about tickets but the answer is yes
and no.
The web site for the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City is up and there is
information about tickets. Unfortunately, they are not available to be
purchased yet. They do report that tickets will be available by phone,
credit, web, etc., and the organizers are discussing reserving 20% of tickets
for SLC residents.
They also report they have a freeze on hiring support staff, and from the
looks of their jobs list it seems like the work of a gargantuan task will
fall on the shoulders of a few. In other words,I think if they don't hire the
bodies they know they need, organizing delays could be magnified. (just my
.02 re: large organizations)
There are links on the web site for volunteers to submit applications to
staff the games, and considering the prices they are quoting on the website
($75-425...yikes!), I thought it wouldn't kill me to do a few shifts as a
medical volunteer in lieu of tickets. They also need security (police
officers retired and working), and a whole host of other volunteers to make
things run smoothly.
Check out the website for yourself: SLC2002.org

Good article!
now, for my $.02 re: mouthguards..........
I have the Shock Doctor (a boil-n-bite costing about $25). A few months ago
(after a week of hockey camp, being on the ice & chewing my mouth guard 4+
hrs a day) I started to experience pain in my teeth.
So I brought the Shock Doc to my dentist. He checked it out, shaved off a
little material where there was too much contact with my teeth, and I was
back in business. (did not even charge for this visit!)
I asked him if a custom made mouth guard would be any better, and he said
that this Shock Doctor is pretty close to what he would make for me anyway.
Care for the mouthguard -
1) make sure you wash it often (warm water & toothpaste with a toothbrush).
These things are breeding ground for germs. (e.g. - mouth infections such as
cankasores)
2) Don't chew on it - it will last longer.
3) If you have to take this thing out of your mouth (like when sitting on the
bench between shifts, etc) get one with a string that you can attach to your
helmet. (shock doc has this) This way, when you spit it out, you won;t have
to worry about holding onto it, or it falling on the floor. Also, it will
always be attached to your helemt, so it is one less piece of equipment that
you will have to remember to pack.
