Val:

I don't know the American rule, but you are absolutely correct if you
are in Canada!

Rule #85 reads in part "If a player in the process of falling or sliding
along the ice, hits or knocks the puck from her opponent's stick prior
to making actual body contact, the tripping action shall be ignored."

i.e. if you get the puck first, a trip that follows is not penalized.  A
lot of players aren't very familiar with this exact rule.  Some of them
think it's the same as the soccer rule "if you are going for the ball, a
trip is not penalized".  In hockey, you have to get the puck FIRST.

Subject: RE: Rule Question

The Canadian rule (as I understand it as a 4th year ref...) is that if you
make contact with the puck first then the player goes down, then it's not
tripping.  However if after making contact with the puck you continue to
sweep your arms or stick and that motion brings the player down then it can
be called tripping.  The other thing up to the ref's discretion is that if
everyone went crashing into the boards he may have called it simply because
it's a dangerous check and tripping was the easiest call to make.

Subject: Tripping question

In response to the question on tripping,
Following is an excerpt from the Tripping rules from the USA Hockey website:

Rule 639. Tripping

                             Click here for Situations Manual examples 

                             (a) A minor penalty shall be imposed on any
player
                             who shall place his stick, leg, foot, arm, hand
or
                             elbow in such a manner that it shall cause his
                             opponent to trip or fall.

                             (Note 1) If, in the opinion of the Referee, a
player
                             is unquestionably hook-checking the puck and
                             obtains possession of it, thereby tripping the
puck
                             carrier, no penalty shall be imposed.
                             (Note 2) Accidental trips which occur
                             simultaneously with or after a stoppage of play
will
                             not be penalized. 

                             Any player who deliberately leaves his feet and
                             contacts an opponent with any part of his body
                             thereby causing the opponent to trip or fall
shall be
                             assessed a minor penalty (Clipping).

                             (Note 3) This rule does not apply to a player
who
                             has dropped to his knee(s) to block a shot. 

And from the Situations Manual:

Situation 2
                             A defending player leaves his feet and slides
into
                             the puck carrier. The defending player gains
                             possession of the puck and the attacking player
                             falls to the ice after being hit by the
defending
                             player's body. Should a penalty be assessed?

                             Yes. Rule References 639(a) and Note 3. 

                             When a player leaves his feet and slides into
an
                             opponent, thereby causing him to fall, a
penalty for
                             tripping must be called regardless of who gains
                             possession of the puck. The only exception is
                             when a player drops to his knees to block a
shot
                             and his momentum carries him into the player
                             shooting the puck, causing him to fall. In that
event,
                             no penalty is to be assessed. 


I interpret this as, Yes, the tripping call in the situation described in a
previous message was a good call.  (Not that I agree that this should be
tripping, but I think USA Hockey is probably trying to prevent injuries as
much as possible.)

From: "Paul Capobianco" 
Subject: Wisconsin Women's Hockey Weekly Release

THIS WEEK: The University of Wisconsin (5-4-1, 3-2-1 WCHA) returns to
conference action when it plays host to Bemidji State (3-2-0, 0-2-0
WCHA). Both teams will head to Hobbs Ice Arena in Eau Claire, Wis.,
for the games. The Saturday-Sunday series will take place on Nov. 13
and 14 at 3:05 p.m. To help celebrate the event, a reception will be
held on Saturday, Nov. 13 at the Holiday Inn Convention Center in Eau
Claire, Wis., from 7:30-8:30 p.m. The festivities will include Badger
autographs, snacks and beverages.

POLL POSITION: The first poll of the year by American Hockey Magazine
was released on Nov. 2, and the Badgers found themselves listed among
the top-ten teams in the nation. The Badgers rank ninth with 18
points. Harvard leads with 69 points and six of seven first-place
votes. Three other WCHA teams were listed including Minnesota at No.
4, Minnesota-Duluth at No. 5 and Ohio State at No. 10.
	
STREAKING: Kendra Antony (Fr., Yorkton, Sask.) had a five-game point
scoring streak thanks in part to a goal against Harvard last Friday.
The streak ended on Sunday against Brown when the frosh was shutout.
Antony tallied four goals and six assists over the streak, and now has
eight goals and six assists to lead the Badgers in scoring. Antony
also ranks fifth among WCHA players in overall play.
	Roberta Shufeldt (Jr., Romulus, Mich.) also extended her point
scoring streak against Harvard with an assist. Shufeldt brought her
streak to four games before it was snapped against Brown. She had a
goal and three assists during the stretch, which accounts for all her
scoring this season.

HEAD OF THE CLASS: Goaltender Chanda Gunn (Fr., Huntington Beach,
Calif.) has been an important cog in the Badgers* first season. Gunn
played both games this past weekend against No. 1 Harvard and No. 3
Brown, allowing six goals on 64 shots. She lost both games, 3-1 to
Harvard and 3-2 to Brown, but kept Wisconsin in the games. She was
forced to make 38 saves against defending national champion Harvard.
	Gunn leads the WCHA with a .938 save percentage and ranks
fourth with a 1.95 GAA. Overall, Gunn is second with a .933 save
percentage and 1.91 GAA. 

PAULSEN FOR PRESIDENT: Defenseman Sis Paulsen (Fr., Eau Claire, Wis.)
treated the St. Cloud State faithful to Wisconsin*s first-ever hat
trick when she scored three goals and an assist on Friday, Oct. 29.
Paulsen scored the game-winner in UW*s 6-1 victory in the second
period before adding a pair of goals in the third. For her efforts,
Paulsen became Wisconsin*s first WCHA Player of the Week.
	She continued her torrid pace with an unassisted goal against
Brown this past weekend, which brought the Badgers within one of the
third-ranked team.
	Paulsen leads all defenders in the WCHA, and ranks second on
the Badger scoring chart with five goals and eight assists. In
conference action, Paulsen has three goals and five assists, good for
second among WCHA defenders.

KELLY MAKING THEM GREEN: Kelly Kegley (Fr., Inver Grove Heights,
Minn.) saw her first action of the season against St. Cloud State on
Oct. 29. Kegley came off a knee injury to score three goals and an
assist in the series. She scored a goal in Friday*s 6-1win, then
tallied two goals and an assist, and was plus-4 in the Badgers 5-0
shutout over SCSU Oct. 30. The forward scored the first and
game-winning goal in the shutout.
	Kegley continued her strong play against Harvard and Brown,
setting up the Badgers* second goal against Brown and helping keep the
potent Harvard offense to three goals. Kegley, 3-2=5, has points in
three of her four games.

GOOSE EGGS:  Jennifer Neary (Fr., Dallas, Texas) earned the Badgers*
first solo shutout with a 12-save shutout against St. Cloud
State on Oct. 30. She made four stops in the first period, one in the
second and seven in the third. 
	Neary was also a part of the first shutout in Badger history.
She shared the honor with Chanda Gunn (Fr., Huntington Beach, Calif.)
as the duo made 15 saves against Wayne State (Mich.) on Oct. 23. Gunn
made 10 saves before giving way to Neary with 11:46 to go in the
contest. Neary stopped five shots in her first extended appearance of
the season.
	On the season, Neary is 2-0-0 with a 0.45 GAA, .971 save
percentage and has allowed just one goal in 131:55 worth of action. 

DEFENSE IN NAME ONLY: Defenseman own three of the top four spots on
the Wisconsin scoring chart. Sis Paulsen leads the defensive corps and
is second on the team with five goals and eight assists. Michelle
Sikich (So., Apple Valley, Minn.) sits third with four goals and five
assists, while Kerry Weiland (Fr., Palmer, Alaska) ranks fourth with
four goals and three assists.  
	As a whole, Badger defenseman account for 13 goals and 17
assists. That is 30 of the team*s 69 points.

OUT OF THE BLOCKS: Wisconsin*s Kendra Antony scored goals in the
Badgers* first three games, including the first four goals in UW
history. 
	On Friday, Oct. 8, Antony tallied the Badgers* historical
first goal. It came on the power play at 2:25 of the first period and
gave Wisconsin a 1-0 lead over Minnesota-Duluth. The goal, coming on a
wrap-around, was set up by Leslie Toner (Fr., Wausau, Wis.). Toner
gets credit for the program*s first assist.
	Antony, who leads the Badgers with 14 points on eight goals
and six assists, has scored at least one point in seven of the Badgers*
nine games.

IT FEELS GOOD: The Badgers notched their first win in program history
with a 2-1 victory at Ohio State on Friday, Oct. 15. Michelle Sikich
(So., Apple Valley, Minn.) tallied the game-winner at 9:52 of the
third period and Chanda Gunn (Huntington Beach, Calif.) made 30 saves
to earn the win. 

IF YOU PLAY IT, THEY WILL COME: The Wisconsin women*s ice hockey team
opened up its inaugural season on Friday, Oct. 8. Gov. Tommy Thompson,
Olympic Gold Medalists Cammi Granato and Karyn Bye, U.S. National Team
coach Ben Smith and other VIPs attended. The second-largest women*s
collegiate ice hockey crowd attended. 3,892 came to the Kohl Center
for the opening night.

game came together on Nov. 2, 1997 when Minnesota held its inaugural
game against Augsburg at Mariucci Arena in Minneapolis, Minn. 6,854
people showed up and saw the Golden Gophers shutout Augsburg 8-0.

the squad to the 1977 NCAA Championship. A draft pick of the New York
Islanders in 1974, the Minneapolis, Minn., native was the alternate
goalie for the 1980 U.S. Olympic Team. 

WHERE HAVE I DONE THIS BEFORE?: Sophomore Michelle Sikich (Apple
Valley, Minn.) played last year in an inaugural collegiate women*s ice
hockey game. Sikich captained Minnesota State, Mankato*s first-year
squad. The Mavericks opened their season against Minnesota.
	Sikich was also a part of the inaugural state girl*s ice

in the United States back in 1995.

THE BEAVERS: The Bemidji State Beavers (3-2-0, 0-2-0 WCHA) visit the
State of Wisconsin having won their last three games. The Beavers

Benedicts 5-1 this past weekend. The two Beaver losses have come at
the hands of Minnesota-Duluth.
	Ruthann Cantile has been the only head coach for the
second-year Beavers. Cantile led BSU to a 2-20-0 mark in its inaugural
campaign, but has led the Beavers past their 1998-99 win total in just
five game this season.
	Lill Raynard has played a large role in the Beavers
improvement. The first-year player has seven goals and five assists in
just five games this season. She gets help from fellow frosh Alicia
Kinsman, who has five goals and three assists thus far. 
	Bre Dedrickson and Katie Anderson share the goaltending duties

Subject: playmaker
