Thanks to Tina and all the others of you out there on this mailing list
for supporting hockey and enlightening some of us (really me) in areas
that we are lacking in. I was not aware of the differences in ages for
girls playing in Canada vs the US. It gives me alot to think about in
regards to my daughter playing. However as mentioned before, we'll need
to change USA Hockey rules. It won't matter for my daughter, but it will
hopefully for some other person's daughter. Let me know if there's
anything I can do like write letters or whatever.

I've been looking at visors, but I'm not sure what one to get. Which
one
would probably be better, the all clear, or the clear with cage at the
bottom? Is there a specific brand that's really good? What about the
best defogger?

A teammate is moving to the Boston area (grad school at Tufts) this summer
and will be looking to play either with a senior women's team, a pick-up
group or open hockey (co-ed is okay for the latter two). If you have any
info about what's available, she would appreciate it.
Please e-mail her directly at email@hidden (Holly Mason).
Thanks,
Kim

Laurie,
Thanks for the nice message. I just got off the phone with Karen Lungren
(sp), who is head of women's hockey at USA Hockey. We had a nice
discussion about ages of girls in hockey. She is leaving for the Congress
tomorrow, and promises to "throw into the pot" my ideas on having the ages
for girls playing in coed leagues be the same as for girls playing in girls
leagues. She does not hold out much promise that anything will change, but
at least USA Hockey will have to take a look at it. Made me feel pretty
good that what I'm trying to accomplish will be discussed.
She also told me to try to put together a girls team in our area. She said
that just like in a Field Of Dreams, when they said, "If you build it, they
will come." If you make it available to the young girls, a team will
follow. I'm sure she's probably right. But, like she said, most of the
young girls will have little to no skills, so kids like my daughter, who
play successfully with the elite boys, will have to continue to play on a
boys team, and also help out on the newly formed girls teams. Otherwise
they will be too bored and fall further behind the boys. But at least it
will bring more girls into hockey.

Jess,
My daughter uses a cage and likes that the best. Some of the complaints
I've heard about visors, is that they are delicate, and scratch easily.
Also, some kids say they are very hot and heavy. I understand that they do
have some now, that you don't need a defogger.

Message-ID:
I like clear visor with a metal cage (Itech). I feel like the cage allows me
more unimpeded breathing and the clear visor equally unimpeded vision; a full
cage mask sometimes slides to where a bar is right across my line of vision
and, especially with a black cage, really messes up your view of the puck.
Also, since Itech at least comes in two pieces bolted together, you don't
have to replace the whole thing if one part breaks. Caveat: A clear visor
indoors in summer (or anytime the rink air is warmer-damper than normal) or
outdoors on a damp night tends to fog up much more quickly. If it's really
damp, you're stuck with some fog.
As for defogging, don't waste your money on sprays. Put a quarter-size drop
of CLEAR shampoo (ie, baby shampoo) on your visor, spread it thinly with your
finger all over the visor and wipe off all but a thin sheen with a clean
paper towel (not tissue, leaves residue). This should last you a couple of
games at least and is much clearer, more durable and CHEAPER than sprays.
Occasionally, wash the whole thing off and dry well before reapplying the
shampoo; it does hold lint and dirt in the corners.

Can anyone fill me in on the hockey scene at Penn State (club, etc.)? I
have a friend moving there (husband will be faculty) and is looking for
contact information.
Thanks.
