I would also find it a little disturbing to waste food, in order to
preserve the collectable value of the box. If you don't like Wheaties
yourself, I'm sure a school breakfast program would gladly accept the inner
bag of cereal.

Sorry I can't help you with specifics, but I wanted to make some general
comments to people considering starting new girls' teams. Please feel free
to pass these comments on to the people asking you about the possibilities.
Are there already female hockey programs in your area for older girls? I
would encourage your contacts to consider starting a *girls' hockey
program*, open to a wider range of ages. This year, there are probably
lots of girls all over North America, who watched the Olympic women's
hockey and have just begun to wish they could play hockey ... There are
probably lots of other families where the girl has wanted to play for
years, and now the parents are finally starting to recognize that hockey
isn't just for boys. If you started planning and recruiting now for next
season, you could probably have a bigger program than one squirt team.
If the parents of girls who are promoting this initiative are feeling at
all "limited" or "restricted" by the organizers of male youth hockey, I
would strongly encourage them to consider starting a separate *female*
hockey organization.
It is also very likely that new girls' teams will be starting up soon in
the other areas you mention.
If you had enough players in your program to make a mixed-age house league
or two, you would be less dependent on finding outside competition. You
could plan occasional weekend exhibition-game trips and tournaments for the
squirts, peewees, or midgets (or the subsets whose parents are interested
in travel), while also having regular practices and games for all players,
including beginners.
Players on your senior team who want to get involved in the growth of
girls' hockey can get certified as coaches, referees, and trainers. They
can help with publicity and recruiting - starting with their daughters,
their nieces, the daughters of their co-workers, the girls they work with
in Scouts or softball ... They can scrimmage against the older girls
(mixing up the teams, if necessary, to make fair competition). They can
also try co-ordinating game schedules - if a midget team or weaker women's
team is visiting on a weekend, to play your team, maybe they can also play
against the older girls in the girls' program while they're in town.
And for anyone in an established hockey program, when someone from a
brand-new team calls you to set up an exhibition game next season, please
try to fit it in, even if it's a bit inconvenient. When I was first
scheduling games for the Ohio State university teams, we had no nearby
opponents at all. I remain very grateful to the teams from Michigan and
Illinois and Wisconsin who travelled to play us, and who invited us to
games and billeted us, those first two seasons. They all had much closer
competititors, in the areas around Detroit or Chicago, and it was very good
of them to fit us in their schedules.

I am a new convert to wearing girdle pants with a shell. I just bought a pair,
and they amazingly comfortable. I cannot believe the difference. I have more
range of movement, and the protection is more thorough. I highly recommend
them.

Just a note to the list to let y'all know that over 30 women showed up at the
Aerodrome in Sugarland, Tx for an evaluation for a new women's league this
past Sunday am. The actual league will have more players, probably comprising
4 teams when the rink hockey directors get through with evaluating skill
levels.
The rink has committed to prime ice time for the women to attract women from
all over the city to skate at their facility, which also boasts Tara Lipinski
as one of their own. We will have 2 slots on Thursday night, the latest of
which will be 9:30 p.m.. Some people will drive from as far as 30 miles away
to make games, but have commented it is doable as long as we are not playing
at midnight.
Skill level varied greatly at the evaluation. The plan is to divide up the
players to keep the competition level up, with out stacking one team with
advanced players. The Aerodrome will also continue the women's hockey clinic
Sunday mornings 10:15 to 11:15 a.m..
The first game date is March 19th, and the ice time cost is $150 for 10 weeks
of play, 2 running periods and last period stop watch.
I'm posting all this information for women in other cities who are having
trouble with getting good ice time. The key to us getting the rink interested
in accomodating us with ice time was showing a presence at their Sunday am
clinic for women. We kept telling them, "give us decent ice time, and we'll
get you a group of women". This is looking like a win-win for the rink and
women!
Happy skating!.....Terry

Thanks again to everyone re-evaluating their pants coverage/comfort and
posting the information.
I spent quite a while at the Hockey Stop in Houston (shameless plug!) where
they actually have a good selection of women's gear. Unfortunately, I wasn't
able to find a pair of pants that gave me more coverage that what I have now.
I did try the girdle thing everyone has been writing about. And it does have
hard plastic pads incorporated in it. The girdle did a better job of
protecting the area right above my knees, where the muscle transitions to
tendon (very vulnerable to slashing, or pucks if knees bent and down on ice).
The side pads did stay down and cover the area where I got cut.
The cons for me were an area on the lateral/posterior thigh between the coccyx
pad and the side pads. The gap was just a little too big for me to feel secure
about falling and not injuring part of gluteal muscles. The other thing I
worried about was being able to get the things off after a game . After
an hour of jumping in and out of pants in the store, the sweat factor was
something to consider in peeling off the "girdle"...LOL
I tried the Louisville women's pants, and made mental notes about the folks
who wrote they didn't have enough padding. I tend to agree, though they didn't
have a larger size for me to try. The mediums fit very well, but the pads
didn't go all the way to the knee and rode up when I crouched, exposing the
area that got cut with a skate.
I did upgrade my shin guards to a pair of Easton Pro Light Design SG. The
coverage on my lower leg is now 75-80% circumferential. There are hard plastic
flaps that extend from the sides, with separate side flaps for the knee and
upper thigh. Removable extra pads also add to the cushy feel. They have
bridged some of the gap to my 2nd hand pair of pants. This weekend I slipped a
pair of soccer shin guards in my hockey sock to cover the lower lateral thigh
where I got cut last week. I think the soccer pads will have to do until I can
try the Bauer women's pants.

First of all if you were playing In-line there is a no contact rule or at
least there has been in the tournaments and leagues that I have played in.
I think it would be a good idea to report this to the rink officals if they do
not take action report the rink and the assalent to the police YOU ARE NOT
GETTING PAYED TO PLAY HOCKEY DON'T TREAT THIS AS IF YOU WERE! Take action this
is not a game anymore. It stopped being a game when you were hit in the first
place.

Does anyone know when and where the next evaluation camp is being held for the National team? And who gets invited to it and also who is doing the evaluating?
There may be a women's camp in August, according to Ben Smith. The only evaluation camps in the US that are planned are for girls 15, 16, 17 and 18 which take place in Lake Placid, NY, the last week of June, first week of July. Ben Smith has been on the lookout for players from these camps in the past and will probably be in attendance again this summer. Players who were cut from the last evaluation camp last year and individuals that USA has scouted will probably get the invite to the August camp, if it is held.

Subject: Lake Placid
I live in Ohio, and got one of the forms to try out
for the Lake Placid camp. Im 15, and only have 1
problem, Im not an American citizen. It says you have
to have an American citizenship. Is there something I
can do? Am I allowed to try out because I am not
allowed to apply for citizenship until September 16,
2000?
I heard of a case with a boy, who was also Canadian,
and they wouldn't let him try out so they were going
to sue and they let him. Would we have to go that far?
