There is a woman on the Phoenix Lady Kings with an eyebrow piercing - AND the
last time I saw her skate, she didn't have a face mask. Talk about
intimidating!
As for getting yours....
About the time my husband started skating, he inquired about a new tatoo - the
artist recomended two weeks off. I don't know how this compares to a peircing.
I would take my helmet in with me when I went to get the piercing. You could
go in with your helmet for a consultation, and then make the decision on
whether or not (or when) to get it done. I would also plan for a week or so
off, just in case.
My husband got his navel peirced before he started playing. He went to a
great shop, and they were very informative about questions of hygine and
healing. His piercing took alot of time and care while it was healing and
periodically still gets infected. My understanding is that eyebrows tend to
be easier (cleaner), but probably not for hockey players.
Good luck!

Subject: Wheaties box...
Here are some quotes that I found in my local paper as I was reading it.
"This truly has been a team in every sense of the word, and it's hard for
them not to be with their teammates at this moment," U.S. coach Ben Smith
said.
Said Schmidgall: "I'm kind of jealous. I'm a little sad. But I still
know it's my team, and I wouldn't want to take this away from anyone else.
The picture is great. In sprit, we're all on that box."
The box will be in stores Monday.

Sure, they will be collector's items, it's just a matter of degree. If you
are interested, in the most recent Beckett Annual, they list 4 other
Wheaties Boxes with hockey on them:
1991 Pittsburgh Penguins $25.00 U.S.
1992 Jaromir Jagr/Mario Lemieux (no logo) $40.00 U.S.
1992 Jaromir Jagr/Mario Lemieux (logo) $50.00 U.S.
1992 Pittsburgh Penguins $25.00 U.S.
The lowest price they list for any cereal box with hockey on it is $12.00.
No guarantees of future value, but I certainly wouldn't be throwing any of
those boxes in the garbage!!!
>>I remember seeing an

>>If these are collectors items, how sshould they be kept?
There is no protector currently available. If you want to keep them on
display... keep them away from moisture, and keep them away from all natural
and artificial light sources.
>>Unopened and in mint
>>condition? Or is it okay to take the bag of food out first?
This is the one situation where it is OK to open the package, because
otherwise you will end up with a bag of mold down the road. As soon as
you bring the box home, take the "bag of food" out so that you don't get
milk or anything else on the box... and open it carefully with a knife etc.,
so the top of the box doesn't show any signs of a rip.
Hope that helps!

The common misconception is that the mouthguard is for puck or stick impact
protection. It is for teeth to teeth impact and concussion prevention and
does a great job.

Subject: Mouthguards
HI,
I'm kind of jumping in on this subject late but.....
Well, if I were you I'd leave the strip that attached the mouthguard
to the
helmet on. A new USA Hockey rule requires that all players wear a
colored
mouthguard, that's clearly attached to the helmet or cage of the helmet.
I believe this is for skaters 19 and under. Senior women are not
required to wear them anymore.
I recently purchased a custom made mouthguard and it's great. I wish I
spent the money years ago. I have always worn a mouthguard, usually
the $3 ones you can get. This one fits great, I can talk with it so
much better and people understand me:)) It does not have a strap but I
believe you could have one put on. The costs run $60-$100. It's worth
the price when you figure out how often you will be wearing it and how
important your teeth are.

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
Please do not underestimate the force of your jaw slamming into your skull
as you impact the ice or boards or whatever. No helmet of facemask can stop
that.
Due to the collision of jaw to skull, concusions can occur, not to mention
broken teeth, bit in half tongue,etc...

As obsessive/compulsive as it sounds, I am going to mount and frame 2

Then I am going to hang it someplace and enjoy the view.

Subject: Hockey Camps
What should I be looking for in a summer hockey camp program for my 11
year old daughter? I think what we will probably do is send her to the
one that one of her teammates is planning to attend because they want to
be roommates. What should she be getting out of a camp experience? Any
advice?

Subject: Wheaties boxes
They will definately be a collector's item but I wouldn't expect them to be
worth hundreds of dollars any time soon. I'll be buying many boxes and
they will be worth a fortune to me though. Thanks to some friends in
Canada, I've been able to get all of the Canadian boxes with the Women's
National team members on them.
It's becoming the norm in the cereal box hobby to open the boxes, flatten
them out and put them in plastic protectors (similar to top loaders that
one puts trading cards in - only big enough to hold a box).
This sounds crazy but it really works...what I highly recommend is using a
hair dryer to open up the box, the heat from the dryer loosens up the glue
and they pop right open, just takes a minute or so. This way you don't
risk damaging the box, a damaged box has no collectible value at all.
They also have plastic cases that cereal boxes fit into, but I would still
recommend at least opening the bottem and taking the cereal out. Over time
the cereal will rot and cause potential damage to the box (not to mention
make your house smelly).
You can get these oversized top loaders and/or cereal box cases at your
local trading card shop.
OK, enough of Cereal Box 101, let's get ready to go shopping!
best to all,
Liz

Mr. Boccanfuso,
I am of the opinion that the mouth guards are more for protection
against concussion than for the protection of the teeth. Although, I
have seen my share of jaw and teeth injuries despite the wearing of
the facial protector.

What I want in a coach. By Megan
1.- Someone who can determine my potential and push me to it.
2.- Someone who pays attention to me and my progress.
3.- Someone who can offer advice on bettering my skills, and attitude if
neccessary.
4.- Someone who knows the game and can orchestrate an entire team.
And can command respect from the players.
In that order.
Male? Female? Couldn't care less.

We've been told mouthguards aren't required for "boys" teams at the
mite or squirt level. This has made for the bizarre situation, when a
girls squirt team plays a boys squirt team, the girls have been
assessed misconduct penalties for no mouthguard, while the boys team
(including any girls on boys teams) doesn't have to wear them.
Anybody know the logic behind this?
