Hi Jill,
Thanks for your message. I also got a private response from someone who had played with her a few times, and then yesterday I saw an article (talking about Martina's doubles loss to the Williams) that specifically said she plays for the Aspen Mother Puckers. I imagine she'd be quite good -
hand-eye coordination and all.
Pretty wild!
Smiles, Val

TWENTY-EIGHT PLAYERS TO ATTEND WOMEN'S NIKE UNDER 22 TEAM SELECTION CAMP
IN CALGARY, AB FROM AUGUST 13-21, 2000
CALGARY, AB - Twenty-eight of the best Under 22 women hockey players in
Canada have been invited to the National Women's NIKE Under 22 team's
selection camp at the Father David Bauer Olympic Arena in Calgary, AB, from
August 13-21, 2000, the Canadian Hockey Association announced on Thursday.
Head coach Karen Hughes and assistants Nancy Wilson and Margot Page will
oversee the eight-day NIKE camp.
The Canadian Hockey Association launched the National NIKE Under 22
Development camp during the 1998-1999 season. The program gives younger
players an opportunity to experience international competition, on the
international ice surface and to experience everything that international
hockey encompasses such as international travel, different playing styles,
international officiating, etc.
The NIKE Under 22 camp is part of the development program for Canada's
National Women's team, evaluating young 'up and coming' players. Under 22
players may be called upon over the course of the season to play with the
National Women's Team at events such as the 3 Nations Cup, the TSN Challenge
or even the Women's World Hockey Championship.
Ç The NIKE Under 22 camp has made great strides in the three years that it
has been in operation, È said Gaetan Robitaille, General Manager, Female
High Performance Programs. Ç The NIKE Under 22 camp is designed to develop
skills and also give the opporutnity to evaluate the talent of young women's
hockey players in Canada. È
Following the NIKE camp, the roster will be trimmed down to 22 players in
time for the team to face the USA in a three-game series in Western Canada
following the evaluation camp.
Ç The coaching staff is extremely excited about the young and talented
players that will be attending this year's NIKE camp, È said Karen Hughes,
Head Coach of the National Under 22 team. Ç Women's hockey in Canada
continues to grow, and we are seeing some great young players entering into
this program. È
The National Women's NIKE Under 22 Selection camp roster includes goaltender
Charlene Labonte, who played last year with the Acadie-Bathurst Titans of
the QMJHL, forward Cherie Piper, the 1999-2000 High School Athlete of the
Year in Toronto, ON and forward Danielle Bourgeois of the CIAU Women's
Hockey Champion University of Alberta Golden Bears.
The roster also includes 11 returning players from the 1999-2000 National
Under 22 Team. That team won two out of three games against the USA in
August, 1999 and went on to capture the Four Nations Tournament in
Switzerland in February, 2000. Returning players are : goaltender Tania
Pinelli, defenders Gillian Ferrari, Colleen Sostorics, Carla MacLeod, Dana
Pretty and Correne Bredin, and forwards Cherie Piper, Danielle Bourgeois,
Annie Desrosiers, Lara Perks and Gina Kingsbury.
