U.S. Women's National Team Blanks Sweden, 11-0, At 1999 IIHF Women's
World Championship
( VANTAA, Finland - March 9, 1999) - The 1999
United States Women's National Team took a 1-0
lead only :58 seconds into the game on a goal
by
defenseman Angela Ruggiero (Harrison
Township, Mich.), and went on to defeat Sweden,
11-0, in 1999 International Ice Hockey
Federation
Women's World Championship preliminary-round
action here Tuesday evening.
U.S. goaltender Erin Whitten (Glens Falls,
N.Y.)
earned her fifth career shutout in IIHF Women's
World Championship play, turning aside 19 shots
to record her first victory of the tournament.
After increasing it lead to 3-0 at the end of
the first
period, the U.S. widened the gap in the second
stanza with a power-play goal from forward
Karyn
Bye (River Falls, Wis.) at 7:05. Defenseman Sue
Merz (Greenwich, Conn.) added an even-strength
goal at 9:03, and forwards Cammi Granato
(Downers Grove, Ill.) and Katie King (Salem,
N.H.) tallied at 14:50 and 16:34, respectively,
to
make the score 7-0 heading into the third
period.
Forward Tricia Dunn (Derry, N.H.) opened the
scoring for the U.S. in the final period as she
converted on a power-play opportunity at 2:37.
Granato and King both notched their second
goals
of the game to make the score 10-0, and forward
Krissy Wendell (Brooklyn Park, Minn.) completed
the U.S. scoring at 18:11 as she beat Swedish
goaltender Lotta Gothesson to make the final
margin of victory 11-0.
Granato (2-1) and Wendell (1-2) led Team USA in
scoring with three points apiece, while Merz,
Dunn,
Bye and forward Jenny Schmidgall (Edina, Minn.)
each chipped in two points (1-1).
"We played a poised game," said U.S. Head
Coach Ben Smith (Gloucester, Mass.). "We didn't
take any penalties and the great team effort
combined with our speed is what made the
difference tonight."
After an off-day tomorrow, preliminary-round
play
will conclude on Thursday with the United
States,
now 2-0-0, facing China (1-1-0) at 4:30 p.m.
(9:30
a.m. EST). Sweden, 1-1-0, will meet Russia
(0-2-0), at 4:30 p.m. (9:30 a.m. EST) on
Thursday.

Subject: Canadian Press Article on Canada vs. Germany
Canada crushes Germany
By NEIL STEVENS -- Canadian Press
ESPOO, Finland (CP) -- With 14 players earning points,
Canada
clobbered Germany 13-0 at the women's world hockey
tournament
today.
Canada opened Monday with a 10-0 victory over
Switzerland. It has
Wednesday off and faces its first serious test of the
fifth global women's
tournament on Thursday against Finland.
Canada, which went 20-0 in winning the first four
tournaments, now is
22-0 in world championship play.
With many more goals than the Germans had scoring
chances, coach
Daniele Sauvageau's club could have beaten the Germans
without
bothering to use a goaltender.
Nancy Drolet, Jayna Hefford and Geraldine Heaney each
scored two
goals, and Danielle Goyette, Hayley Wickenheiser, Becky
Kellar,
Caroline Ouellette, Nathalie Rivard, France St-Louis and
Jennifer
Botterill had one apiece.
Wickenheiser, skating with ease through the German
defence, had four
assists, and Ouellette set up three goals.
Sami Jo Small earned the shutout. Her biggest challenge
was staying
awake.
Give the Germans credit. Down 10-0 at the second
intermission, they
showed up for the third period. And they proved that they
have
mastered the art of icing the puck. It was the only way
they could slow
Canada's relentless offence.
In the only previous Canada-Germany women's world
championship
game, in 1990 in Ottawa, Canada won 17-0. The only
subsequent
meeting took place 10 weeks ago when, at an under-22
tournament in
Germany, Canada twice defeated Germany 3-1.
Notes: Fiona Smith hasn't played since suffering a
whiplash injury in an
exhibition game last Thursday in Sweden but the
25-year-old native of
Edam, Sask., has resumed practising. Team doctor Chantal
Ducasse will
reassess Smith to determine if she'll be allowed into the
lineup against
Finland on Thursday . . . Isabelle Chartrand has been
flown in as a
possible replacement on defence if Smith is ruled not
ready for the
weekend medal round . . . Nancy Drolet's jar of peanut
butter didn't last
long. The hotel where the team is staying went heavy on
fish for dinners
the first few days and Drolet's jar was fair game for
protein-seeking
players turning thumbs down on the herring and salmon.

Subject: Skull Caps
During the Nagano games last year, I noticed several US players wearing
some kind of skull cap under their helmets. (not a bandana, but a skull
cap) It was made of mesh with a dark blue rim and white top. Does
anyone out here in w-i-h mailing list land have any idea where to
purchase these things??

If you have not yet had the chance, check out the Jan/Feb issue of Hipcheck
Magazine. There is an article about the Brooklyn Blades and womens' hockey in
the Big Apple, written by one of our very own defensemen!! There are also
some phtographs (taken by yours truly).

I don't know where they get theirs, but I wear something similar underneath my helmet when I officiate games. Mine is just a welders cap and I'll bet it's a bit less
expensive than the ones the US players wear. Mine were free. Just go to your friendly neighbourhood welding supply store and ask for them. If you only want a
couple they'll just give them to you. By the bulk it'll probably cost you a bit more.

I'd love to know who is giving you that (dis?)information? My team will
represent the Rocky Mountain Division (Houston HERricanes) and we have the
packets from USA Hockey for Nationals. I quote from their information package:
[Player Eligibility: All players must be registered with USA Hockey on a
registered USA Hockey team Player Roster, in addition to an IMR form, and
eligible for National Championship with that team only, on or before December
31 of the playing season, excepting those players competing on natural ice,
who must register on or before January 20.
Alien Players: Alien players must submit legible copies of the "Visa Stamp" on
the passport and identification page from theat passport, and a legible copy
of the identification page in a current passport. In lieu of the above the
player may present his "Alien Registration Card."]
The "eligible for National Championship with that team only" refers to each
player on your roster having played a minimum of 10 USA Hockey sanctioned
(rules) games before Nationals, and players may only be rostered on one USA
Hockey team. Many of the rec tournaments don't count towards Nationals because
they don't observe USA Hockey rules, Las Vegas, for instance.
The package also goes on to say that there will be a credentialing meeting on
Tuesday April 6th, in Washington where the coaches must present original
credentials.
Finally, I am Canadian, as is our Hockey Director at our home rink in Houston.
We wouldn't have bothered to participate in USA Hockey thus far if we knew we
would have "national origin" used against us.
