>It seems that the mouthguard that attaches to the helmet is recommended over
>the other type.  Is there a reason why?  Is it a choking hazard?
Everyone gave you true answers, choking, losing and remember it can't be 
clear. More precisely, has to be non-clear - the shock doctors have a 
stripe, which is fine. They don't have to be all-over a color. 

And the reason for that is so that they are visible to the officials, and 
more importantly for choking, that you can see the colored mouthguard if 
it has to be swiped out of a mouth during a medical emergency on the ice. 
You'd be surprised at what can complicate a choking kind of accident.

And finally, for those in the must wear one player age groups, it is 
required in the US, by USAH that the mouth guard be attached to the cage 
or helmet. And, refs will enforce that (though you might get a warning 
first time).

It is a quandry. Eventually, something gives, for me I gave up one team & 
coaching (this year) and ref a lot. Some folks just ref a little, and 
play a lot. But, the women here do frequently get the first shot 
opportunity to work the womens/girls games - at least have one of us work 
those games.

Sounds like a good plan. The objective of our SouthEast District Women's 
Official Development Program is indeed to get someone from our area 
officiating at the Olympics. Our lead person has already done Women's 
Nationals a bunch.  But, keep working, and if you've just started, and 
get to the Women's Development camps over the next couple of summers, 
you'll make it! But, work lots of games, and get evaluated a bunch.
