Message-ID: 

ESPNET SportsZone has a feature story on women's hockey
in the Olympics.  You can view it at:
   http://ESPNET.SportsZone.com/editors/nhl/features/0713women.html

I have a link to the above article (and to a few other articles)
from my women's hockey "general information" page.

Someone was asking a while ago about how many players are
registered in the USA.  The article says the female:male
ratio of registered players is 1:17.5.

 "Exploding interest
  Some might argue that it's not even currently on any map. But the
  numbers tell a different story.  There are more than 20,000 female
  players registered with USA Hockey. While that represents a very
  small percentage of the 350,000-plus total players in this country,
  there were just 5,500 registered females playing five years ago."

If there is enough interest, I can post the entire article
to the mailing list.
