Message-ID:
Hi there!
Here is a message which I am forwarding from the college hockey mailing
list (email@hidden). It seems that Northeastern
University may lose its Varsity Women's hockey team. This really is a
shame, as Northeastern has produced some quality players over the last
few years and has always had very competitive teams. I remember them
being our biggest rivals when I played for the University of New
Hampshire. It seems like such a step back when you consider the
progress that women's hockey has made over the last decade. I sure
hope things will be resolved.

Subject: ECAC Women: Help NU stay varsity
I've been able to talk with some people at Northeastern about
their pending demotion to a club level team and they seem very
positive that they may be able to keep NU at the varsity level.
The problem Northeastern is facing is one of gender equity. The
feeling is that the women's ice hockey team, particularly with a
newly renovated Matthews Arena, is a big plus for the school, and
should be kept a varsity level sport.
I would like to encourage anybody who cares for the good of
women's ice hockey, and especially NU alumni and other alums from
schools with women's ice hockey, to write one or both of the
people listed below with comments emphasizing the positive force
Northeastern Women have been in ECAC hockey and women's hockey in
general:
Heather Linstad Barry Gallup
Women's Ice Hockey Coach Athletic Director
Matthews Arena Annex 219 Cabot Gym
238 St. Botolph St. 200 Huntington Ave.
Boston, MA 02115 Boston, MA 02115
If you prefer, you can email your letter to me:
email@hidden
and I will print out and mail your comments to the above people.
With the Nagano 1998 Olympics drawing near, now is the time we
need to help a still developing sport. The women's game has yet
to reach the critical mass of teams it needs to become an accepted
sport in the US. Your support is appreciated.
