Subject: New magazine launches!
Message-ID: 

We're out there...finally!  Women's Hockey magazine published its 
first edition this week. As the first dedicated news source on the 
women's game in Canada and the U.S.....we have already made national 
headlines and are embroiled in a controversy.  Our mandate is to be an 
independent forum where all voices can be heard and ideas shared, but 
already one large women's hockey association has attempted to pressure 
our publication into not running a review or giving any publicity to 
the new controversial book "On the Edge: Women Making Hockey History".

As managing editor of Women's Hockey, I owe it to my readers to report 
the news...and this book is public knowledge and making news 
internationally. I am not in the business of censorship and readers 
would tell our magazine to take a hike if they found out we were 
arbitrarily ignoring stories that didn't meet the approval of 
different women's hockey associations. 

Look for the book review and a hard-hitting opinion piece in our first 
issue, along with features and news stories from coast to coast.

For a free trial issue to Women's Hockey, call toll free 1 800 807 
2231 weekdays. After that, subscriptions are a reasonable $13.95 U.S. 
(Canadian dollar accepted at par).

We're always looking for hot news tips and story ideas from Canada and 
the U.S.  You can email Sue Edwards, U.S. managing editor, 
email@hidden  OR  Kelly Connelly, Canadian managing editor,

Enjoy!

Kelly Connelly
Managing Editor, Canada
