Louisville does not have an e-mail address. They only have a web page
and no way to get in contact with them. Their address should, however,
be on the web page. This information comes directly as told to me by
Kelly Dyer of Louisville Hockey. Dorene

Subject: RE: NCAA
Message-ID:
I am a bit confused...
I thought that the U.S. women's collegiate Div. I hockey was governed by
the NCAA. Recently I called the NCAA for a copy of the rule book. They told
me they didn't have a rule book. They said in this case they adopt the
rules from the local governing body (ie- USA Hockey).
Is this true? And if so, do any of the NCAA rules and regulations apply to
the sport? Also, how do I get a copy of whatever book has the current
rules?
In the past I have heard of NCAA rules applying (ie- coaches can't wear
jackets with sponsors names on them, like NIKE; or that you can't accept
scholarships from say, the Women's SPorts Foundation, because of NCAA
rules). Can anyone enlighten me????
Thanks.

The way I understand it, Women's D-I hockey does play according to NCAA
rules...men's rules with a few exceptions. The rulebook (I have the
"1997 NCAA Ice Hockey Rules" booklet) has a section at the end called
"Rules Modifications for NCAA Women's Ice Hockey" (p. 76).
The section says that women's ice hockey is an "emerging sport" according
to the NCAA. The modifications prohibit checking and change the icing rule
to blue-line icing. (Though I hear that the eastern schools are talking
about changing the rule back to red-line...I don't know anything about the
progress of that. Anyone out east have info on that?)

HELP ! College coaches & players: I'm soliciting comments to reinforce my
side of a conflict that I will have to deal with come August, involving where
my daughter will play her senior year of hockey.
Here are the facts: 1) the 96-97 season was only her 3rd year of playing
goalie. 2) she was good enough this season to be chosen as one of two
starting goalies for Team Mich. Midget "A" (state champs) 3) she then quit
Team MI to play for her H.S. boys team and ended up playing only 10
periods of a 20 game season! (she was nearly as good as the boy goalie)
4) the H.S. coaching staff couldn't coach their way out of a paper bag
5) she has played, so far in her career, aprox. 85 periods total in goal
6) she has only reached about 75% of her potential and desperately wants
to learn more. She will be attending the Tretiak Goaltending School and a
Rink Sport camp this summer. 7) she carries a GPA of between 3.7-3.8 at
an extremely competitive and academically demanding school 8) she is
determined to get a scholarship based on hockey playing versus her
academics 9) as of now she has every intention of making starting goalie
next season for her H.S. team.
Do I insist that she has to play "girls" her senior year so that she can
actually play and be seen by college coaches at tournaments and possibly
get picked up by a college varsity team, or do I let her set on the H.S. bench
her senior year? Thanks, Jeff Granger,hockey dad, coach, & player.

Hi,
I'm not a college player/coach, but I think I can help. I'm a 16 year old
female goalie who's been through the same problems. I was asked to try-out
for high school, and told I could play hockey on a boys' travel team. I,
however, made the decision to play girls' travel hockey and will be playing
girls' travel hockey downstate next season. The main reason I got the chance
to play downstate is because I made the switch to girls' travel hockey, and
was seen at the Michigan State Tournament.
If play boys' hockey, you don't get the exposure necessary to get on a good
college team. Your daughter should play girls' travel hockey her senior
year. And try to get on a team that travels to a lot of big tournaments,
like Team Michigan. That will help to get her exposured to college scouts
and coaches. Also, I'd send her to a hockey school out east. There, she will
be seen by the many college and national coaches at the camps out there.
The bottom line: You have to play girls' hockey to be seen by coaches and
scouts of girls' hockey. The boys' teams, or H.S. teams, just can offer you
the same exposure.
Good luck,
