Subject: Women's hockey in FL
Message-ID: 

Women's hockey is really just starting to become organized in the Tampa/St Pete 
Florida area. Currently, there are no established women's leagues (to my 
knowledge), but we are putting one together for the fall. One of the (two) local 
rinks put together a 10 week beginners womens hockey session, and we have had 
about 20-25 women each week of varying skill levels. Since many of us FL 
residents have moved down from colder climates, several of the women have played 
at the college or high school level. Others had never laced up a pair of hockey 
skates.

I'm not sure how the costs compare to men's hockey, but the problem in FL is a 
growing interest in hockey, which leads to high demand for ice time. We should 
have two more rinks opening in the next 18 months, which should help the 
situation. The men's teams seem pretty open to letting women play, there just 
aren't two many women who feel comfortable playing in the mens leagues.

If anyone in the Tampa/St Pete FL area is interested in joining us, please email 
me to get in touch!
