Heggestad ready to return to McGill line-up
The McGill University women's hockey team has been anxiously
awaiting the return of rookie Cailee Heggestad to the line-up.
The Saskatchewan native will join her teammates Wednesday evening
when the Martlets play host to the Universite de Quebec at Trois
Rivieres at McGill's McConnell Arena.
Heggestad has been sidelined since early October after suffering a
knee injury against the team she will make her return against. Heggestad
underwent knee surgery in November and has spent 2 months
rehabilitating her knee.
Heggestad, who is from Frontier Saskatchewan, played with
Saskatchewan's Junior and Senior Provincial teams. She graduated from
the highly respected Athol Murray College of Notre Dame in Wilcox,
Saskatchewan, where she averaged about a point a game in her final
season.
"Cailee will be a welcome addition to the line-up," said General
Manager Dan Madden. "We're looking for more offense and she should help
to contribute in this department."
McGill is 5-3-1 and clinched 2nd place in the Quebec University
Division with a 3-1 win Sunday at U.Q.T.R. The rematch Wednesday is a
7:00 start at McGill.

Hi...I just finished school and moved back home to Philadelphia was
wondering if anyone had an ideas about getting started in playing hockey
around here. I'm 24, I've never played before, but I'm really
interested in learning, I just don't know where to start. I've looked
into some places around here but they haven't been too helpful. Any
ideas? Thanks. Kim

>The Sept/Oct 1998 issue of Hipcheck magazine has a pretty good (if

I maintain the webpages for Hipcheck (a magazine dedicated to
women's ice and roller hockey). You can view the web pages at:
http://www.whockey.com/hipcheck
I am in the process of putting up some sample articles from the last
few issues that will give you an idea of the quality of the magazine.
Personally, I highly recommend it in terms of both content and
graphics!
If you would like to subscribe to Hipcheck, you can phone the Hipcheck
subscription line at 1-800-958-0000. Leave your name, address, phone

probably order back issues too. The subscription rates for a year (6

Hi Kim -
Before you invest all the $$ in gear, etc. it may be a good idea jsut to get
yourself a pair of hockey skates, and some skating lessons (If you do not know
how to skate already.) Make your that when you take the lessons, it is
power skating (HOCKEY skating) and not from a figure skater! Once you are
comfortable on skates so that you can go around the rink a few times without
crashing or tripping over your own feet, and you can stop (or at least slow
down) wihtout making a dent in the boards, then you are ready for your first
ice hockey clinic! (But bottom line is how ready YOU FEEL you are!)
I started about 1 1/2 years ago - and had to start form scratch - never skated
before. So I know, fisrthand, that it is tough. But, STICK WITH IT!! (sorry
for the pun.) The rewards are well worth all the hard work, shortness of
breath, naseaus feeling, and bruises.
Check with local rinks - see if they have women;s hockey clinics. If not, go
for co-ed. I suggest clinics before actually going for a team. It is
crucial to learn the skills - skating, puck handling, shooting, etc.
There is a women's team called the Philly Freeze. We once played them at the
Class of '23 Rink at U Penn. Perhaps you may want to call the rink for more
info. I do not have the contact info.
Also - UPENN has a few women;s teams - try the intramural sports dept - see if
at least you can get a contact name to point you in the right direction to get
you hooked up with a team.
Let me know how this works out. I am psyched for you!! You are really goign
to have a lot of fun!
btw- the LI Hurricanes are going to play vs. the UPENN club team on Sat, Jan
23rd 10:45 am - at the Class of '23 Rink - if you want to check it out.

I played in that same league on a team that's folded ( :( ) You can check
out the Freeze's web site at

There is a women's team in Philly that has a B team, I will get you a
person to call there.
I started when I was 36, so don't feel like it's too late! I spent a
whole summer going to nothing but hockey clinics with 6 and 7 year olds.
If you don't skate, that's probably a good way to start. Call the rinks
in your area, ask for the hockey director or a name of a person who works
with the club that practices in that rink and start asking about
initiation clinics or beginning hockey camps or power skating clinics.
After you get all the information, then start asking if there are any age
restrictions, grit your teeth, and go on out there! Some places may even
have beginner hockey clinics for adults.
As for power skating lessons, they usually **are** taught by figure
skaters - even the instructors used by NHL teams! - because it is all
about skating technique. The better your technique the more power you
are going to get from *every* stride. It's all about efficiency and edge
control. So when you look for power skating, figure skating instructors
are fine. Just make sure it's power skating lessons, not figure skating
lessons. You'll know immediately - for power skating you wear full
equipment and use a stick, for figure skating lessons you don't, and you
learn to skate with your arms raised out to your sides!
