A team mate of mine is moving to Clarksville, TN - she says it's about
an hour from Nashville. Does anyone know if there is any women's
hockey in that area?
You and either reply to me, or directly to her at

Thanks in advance,

I got mine from a place in Canada: Mostly Hockey 1-888-646-2539. Amy
helped me. The first pair I ordered were too big, and I exchanged
them without any problems. (The sizes are NOT regular women's shoe
sizes, as I had heard they were supposed to be, BTW. I'd say they are
almost exactly men's skate sizes, if not exactly.)

I've read all the comments about Haley Wickenheiser and the Flyers. I
thought I could resist but I have to include my 2 cents.
I agree that Haley is a very strong powerful player. She definatly
wouldn't be the smallest player in the NHL and it's true that her
experience in Women's hockey is fairly new and almost exclusivly with the
National and Provincial teams. Her background is in male hockey and she's
got the grit for it too. However I think the issue is not if she can do it
but why would she do it.
Womens' hockey is growing by leaps and bounds. It appeals to players and
audiences for very different reasons than the blood thirsty NHL crowds. It
is all that is good about the sport of hockey and she's be crazy to give
that up. Haley, her teamates and opponents are groudbreakers and will go
down in history as the first rolemodels in womens hockey. In the NHL she's
be a publicity stunt just like Manon Rheaume was. And both Haley and Manon
are too skilled athletes to be reduced to that. It's great that she was
(if she was) asked to join the Flyers camp. I hope she goes, it would be a
great experience. But in the end I hope she takes it as seriously as they
do, which I'm sure is not at all. Women hockey players don't need to
aspire to the NHL, and frankly I don't see why they would. There are
women's national teams and there will be a professional womens' league,
this is where our future is not in the NHL.

specifically "women's". page 3 of the Summer 1998 catalog. 1-800-828-7496

I think the most important thing to remember is that Haley has not been
offered a contract to the Flyers she has just been asked to come and PRACTICE!
There is not a woman in the world that would or should give up the oppertunity
to increase skills through a practice with a proffesional athlete in their
respective sport. I should also add male into this equasion as wee too are in
need of practice constantly.
If I had any one of the women's olympic teams call me on the phone right
now I would not forfeit the oppertunity to stand in goal and take shots from
anyone. A true athlete and a person true to their game and themselves
(dependant upon the level they are out to acheive) will practice with two year
old children just to get back to basics. 'Cause remember one of those two year
olds could be the next Gretzky, Reame, Wickenheiser, Whitten (Erin), or even a
coach for the gold medal olympic team in the year 2010.

Subject: Re: stupid roller hockey rule
A goal that a women scores in coed will be worth 2 points. A normal goal
(by
a male) is 1 point.
Now this is a stupid rule, well at least I think it is. We shouldn't
get
any special treatment. It's just dumb, I'm surprised it hasn't been
protested
yet.
I have played in a co-ed league that had the same rule. The theory was
that the men would pass to the women vs always trying to score the goal
themselves. Also, it allows for strategizing in a close game. At times
we put all our women out to increase our 2 pt scoring chance.
Just somethings to consider.
