Subject: Looking for a midget team to play
Message-ID:
We are looking for a girls midget team (AA calibre) to play the Northwest
Orcas in Seattle, WA on either the 9th and 10th and/or 23rd and 24th of
March. We can help with hotel information, etc. if you are coming from
someplace far off from Seattle.
If anyone is interested please call Head Coach Cindy Dayley at 206-285-5084
or email back to me. Thanks-

The Ithaca Sirens have had a web page up for several months now
(http://yeoh1.dos.cornell.edu/sirens.html) and we have two people listed as
contacts. We have had several people call; all have been interested in the
team or women's hockey, none have been unpleasant or boors. We've actually
had one of those enquiring minds join the team (a beginner)! So for what
it's worth, I think it's worth it.
By the way, here are the senior women's teams in New York (that I know of,
anyway):
Batavia (I'm not sure what their team name is!)
Hudson Valley Waves
Ithaca Sirens
Long Island Breeze (?)(we've never actually played this team; just heard of
them)
Rochester Susan B. Anthony's
Syracuse Clippers
Syracuse Warriors
Tonawanda Lady Lightning (I believe they now have an A and a B team)

This Saturday women's ice hockey will get a well deserved boost. ABC's Wide
World of Sports is starting a new segment entitled "Women in the Game." The
first installment will be about women's ice hockey. This Wednesday they are
coming to film the Dartmouth-UNH game. On February 10, 1995 at some time
between 4:30-6:00 p.m. et. the segment will air along with hopefully, some
interviews with the players.
With the Pacific Rim, World Championships and Olympics in the future this
should be the start of some serious publicity for the sport. We can all show
our support for women's hockey by writing to ABC regarding this segment.

Their web site is at www.abctelevision.com. I *believe* the email address
is email@hidden, but I'm not sure, so check out the web site
before you send them anything. I sent off a note just now.

I could be mistaken, but it is my understanding that only undergrads can
play Div I women's hockey in the US. I have no idea whether that is an
ECAC rule, a NCAA rule, or even a rule at all. I have a friend at Yale who
redshirted for a year and has an extra year of eligibility. She told me
that she wasn't going to be able to use that extra year because she plans
to graduate on time and won't be allowed to play as a grad. We play Yale a
week from Sunday. If nobody else finds out before then, I'll ask her about
it after the game.

Subject: goalie rule
Message-ID:

We played a friendly game last nite between the Madison Edge and UW Madison
Women's teams. We knew our goalie would miss the first 15 minutes of the
game so had another player suit up as goalie and then change into her
defense stuff and play as defense when our goalie showed up. We had asked
a so-called "friend" to ref who has done a lot of reffing. She promptly
threw the goalie-turned-D out of the game when she saw her on the ice
claiming some USA Hockey rule. I'd just like to clarify the rule and
whether or not she interpreted it correctly. Aside from that, it was a
game between 2 teams with lots of friends and we were playing for
enjoyment--no league, no national championship so why not let our player
play? UW had no problem with it but the ref sure did. If anyone can
enlighten us on the goalie rule, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
