Subject: wih - stats tracking
I sorta volunteered to track (and put on the webpage) my team's stats
throughout the season. I have the scoresheets from a few games so far. When
I sat down to actually complile them (using excel) I realized what a pain in
the neck it really is.
Does anybody out there have an excel spreadsheet that they set up for this
purpose? Or any other stat-tracking software that they are willing to share?
There are some really fancy software packages out there, but they are all
pricey. I do not want ot spend anything on this. Are there any "shareware"
packages?
I surfed teh net, but could not find any "freebies."
I'm sure that if I sat down and relaly thought it through, I could bang
soemthing out in excel, but I really don't have the time.
Thanks.

Ok, I just started playing ice hockey, and have noticed that after about half
an hour of scrimmaging/playing/skating, I get headaches, kinda like a brain
freeze thing. I thought it might be that my helmet was too tight, but I
loosened it, and still got a headache. I was wondering if its something that
goes away after you get used to it, or if it had anything to do with
dehydration or if I'm just totally weird. So if you could tell me anything
about it, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

I had the same problem when I started out. Being a bit older than you, I
paralleled my headaches to those of a hangover. I called it "hockey
hangover." It is awful. The cause of this headache is exactly the same as
the casue of a hangover - DEHYDRATION!
The solution is quite simple - WATER!! WATER!! WATER!! You have got to drink
a lot of water. Try to drink at least a quart (4 glasses) during the day -
and at least a full bottle from the tiem you hit the ice to the time your have
changed out of your gear. Then another bottle (hockey size bottle) on your
way home.
It goes down much easier if it is room temp as opposed to ice cold water.
During the game sip soem water after each & every shift, even if you are not
thirsty. During practice, skate over to the bench between drills, and take a
few shots of water. If you know the coach is going to be talking for a while,
bring the bottel with you. Do nto wait for the coach to giv eyou a water
break. It only takes a few seconds for a sip of water, and your physical well
being is worth it. If you do it quickly wihtout disrupting the flow of the
practice, this should not cause any problems with the coach.
During open hockey, make sure you hide your water under the bench, or else the
boys will drink it all. (What would they do if you didn't show up??!!)
During public skating, bring your bottle with you & put it in the penalty box
or palyer bench. Take a few sips every few minutes.
Also -stay away from caffeine (coffee, tea, and cola drinks.) Even caffeine
free Carbonated drinks are not so good - the bubbles make you feel full, and
you will drink less.
Before the game, you may want to drink a combo 1/2 gatorade 1/2 water. The
carbos in gatorade will give you more energy. Pure gatorade is kinda hard
to drink, so that is why I mix it with water. (Make sure you go to the
bathroom before you get on the ice!) Drink just water during the game, so
you are not busy digesting while playing. (that could give you stomach
cramps.)
Hope this helps.

Hi!!
I've been on the list since summer, but havn't said much. Anyway this

a girls high school team. The only problem is we really need some money. We
are trying to get into one tournament which is $425, and jerseys are around
$17, socks $10. Does anyone have any really excellent fundraising ideas?
I'de really appreciate any help!!

Well I myself play for the girls team here in Champlin Mn. But great things
have happened with girls playing for the boys. In specific Krissy Wendell.
Some of you may have heard of her. She plays for the neighboring team Park
Center. Wendell played boys varsity hockey for, 1 or 2 years. This season
though she plays for the girls team. It's a scary thing. I'm pretty sure she
made the national team. To watch her play is amazing. Our team played them
before and Krissy was in europe, but she's back now. We play them again on
tuesday. The first thing from my team captains mouth was, "Oh my god.
WENDELL!!" Well it'll be great to watch her play. I hold alot of respect for
her and her hockey.

Subject: WIH: off-ice workouts
Go, Girl! webzine did an issue last year all about ice hockey, and
included a section called "Training with the NW Admirals", a girls midget
rep team in Seattle. It's pretty cool, check it out:
http://www.gogirlmag.com/backiss/backiss11/feature_admirals.htm
There's also a book out called _Complete Conditioning for Ice Hockey_, by
Peter Twist, which has lots of exercise and nutrition info.
As for me, I eat a big pasta dinner the night before games and then on the
day of I have a good breakfast (cereal, bagels, juice) and a light lunch,
maybe just a fruit shake. I used to get really nervous and not eat
anything but for some reason I got over it. Oh, and drink LOTS of water!
Keeping hydrated is one of the most important things.
For off-ice workouts, I run and lift weights, and sometimes swim or play
basketball, or ride my bike. Variety, I dig variety.

Well, try area businesses, see if they would like to
donate. It's for your school, so maybe they would.
Our hockey team tried to find sponsors, and we didnt
even get one, but we also aren't a school team, were
only a second year travel team. Just for ice time and
referees and stuff it costs over 1000. Plus you gotta
add hotels and gas and food. For me, it ends up to be
over 3000 dollars. Anyway, if you find anygood tips,
pass them my way!!!!

Locla businesses are always a great idea. The Brooklyn Blades have quite a
few sponsors and are pretty good at fundraising as well. (Last year, we were
lucky enough to get Nike as a sponsor! But sponsorships liek that are hard
to come by.)
We seemed to get a lot of publicity last year, and publicity begat publicity,
(and, we have a killer webpage!) so the funds seemed to be rolling in.
We also have an annual comedy show - a local comedy club doantes the space,
and we get professional comdeians to doante tehir time and perform. Of
course, it helps that one of our players is a stand-up comedian and has the
right contacts. Bottom line - use the connections on your team. You will
find something!!
When the weather gets warm, you may want to consider a car wash. They are a
lot of fun, and are almost pure profit! You can charge 5 bucks a car (cheaper
then a real car wash) and locals are almsot always willing to help out the
local school. The key to this one is ADVERTISING!! Put up signs around town
abotu a week or so before the big event.
Also, raffles are another good idea - if you can get local mercahnts to donate
prizes.
Good luck!

ONe of the mom's on our team has kids who play hockey and one of the best
fundraisers they did was to sell cookie dough. It was so sucessful that
they had the fundraiser twice becuase people kept asking for more cookie
dough. Just a thought!

Subject: wih: off ice work out
Laura,
I'm fairly new to hockey (last September) but not to working out. I
definitely try and prepare myself for games and practices and even just
weight lifting so that I get the most out of it. Everyone's different but
this is what I do:
>What exercise do you do between hockey games that really keeps you ready
to play again?
I do upper and lower body weight lifting work twice a week. I do lower
body work that was shown to me by my physical therapist after my knee
surgery. For upper body work I hired a personal trainer for one session to
show me proper form and which things are most effective. Upper body work
is more difficult for women then men so it may take some getting used to.
I would say most the most important thing if you are going to do strength
training is proper form. Have someone show you at least the first time -
it's best if this person is a trainer or somehow knowledgable in proper
form. Doing things wrong can lead to injuries.
>Is there anything in particular that you know really helps you with a
certain aspect of playing hockey?
For me it's practice, practice, practice. I skate at least twice a week
besides hockey practice and games so I'm on the ice at least 4 times a
week. I ask our coaches which things I can practice at public skate and
then I do them (no matter how silly I look). I practice shooting against
my garage door and I practice stick handling with golf balls while watching
TV (keeps your eyes off the puck).
>Is there a certain way of eating before playing that helps you?
I just eat 3+ meals a day when ever I'm doing any sort of physical
activity. I have low blood sugar problems to start with so it's somewhat
necessity for me. I start w/breakfast of protien and carbs (like bagel
w/PB) then mid-morning fruit. At lunch, I'll have a sandwich of low-fat
meat/cheese, whole-grain bread (and no mayo) with a salad. Mid-afternoon
I'll have a low-fat carb snack (like pretzels or dry cereal) and another
piece of fruit. Dinner is usually pasta/potatoes, veggies and some protien
like chicken or turkey. I know this seems kindof silly but I find if I
miss a snack or meal I get really shaky and lack energy. Since I've been
eating this way (a few years) I've found I can't really stomach fatty
foods. I don't stick with this religiously either - if I really want a
piece of pie or something, I have it :) It works for me but not everyone
eats that many times a day. The main thing would just be to get some
protien and carbs but not too close to gametime.
>Do you get a nervous stomach before games, and have you found a way to
overcome it?
I really don't but I'm always just so happy to be playing I don't think
about it.
Hope some of this will work for you!

Subject: WIH knee exercises
>i was just wondering if there are any good exercises to strengthen knee
ligaments?
Jessica,
I just had my ACL replaced a little over a year ago. Both before surgery
and during rehab the exercises I did were to strengthen muscles around the
knee joint in order to stabilize the knee. There are quite a few exercises
(like leg presses, hamstring curls, etc) designed for just that purpose - I
would talk with a physical therapist and have them show you some of these.
Doing them incorrectly can strain the knee further.
