Subject: knee braces & shin pads

Thanks to everyone who replied to my posting re: my torn MCL!

Good news!  Just this past week, my orthopedist gave me the yellow light to 
start skating again.  (Meaning, that I could skate, but I have to wear my 
knee brace, and be careful.)

I felt OK, albeit a little wobbly, especially when going backwards.  I'm sure 
this will go away as I continue my PT and strengthening my legs.

The only real problem is wearing the knee brace under my shin pads.  The shin 
pad does not rest comfortably over the knee brace.  The knee brace goes from 
mid-thigh to mid-calf, and is one of heavy aluminum things with 5 sets of 
velcro straps.  I'm concerned that if the shin pad is not resting in the 
right place (against my leg) it may not protect me when I fall.   I used 
elastic velcro straps around the shin pads and socks (instead of tape - 
becuase the straps could be adjusted while playing)  but if is tight enough 
to hold the shin pad in place,  it restricts my movement.

Does anyone know if there are any shin pads that are designed to go over this 
type of  knee brace?  Or, do the shin pads come in varying widths?  Being 
that I have to wear this thing for the next six months, I really don't mind 
spending the cash for this.    

Thanks.

Subject: Smelly hockey gear - and be careful of Febreze

I agree that the amount of sweat (and therefore smell) depends on how
hard you play.  Me and my husband's gear are comparable in stink, which
I didn't realize would be the case until I started playing regularly.

One thing of concern - I wouldn't use Febreze so regularly - we have
seen posting on pet news groups about Febreze affecting, even killing
pets when used on furniture and rugs that they frequent.  Please be
careful using it on your kid's stuff especially.  My understanding is
that it isn't for clothes as much as for upholstery and rugs.  And
remember, if it's getting sweaty, it's in direct contact with your/your
kid's body.

So my alternative  - air out equipment right after playing.  I wash our
jerseys (inside out if there are numbers) and hockey pants after every
game.  I use cold water, double rinse, about half as much detergent as
normal, and air dry.    I just washed our girdles for the first time in
6 months, and it worked very well (they have some kind of dense foam
that doesn't sop up too much water).  After 6 months, both our gloves
are already worn through in places - I may try to wash them (they're
mostly leather and light foam), but am thinking we'll have to buy new
one's anyway.  I may be brave enough to try to wash our shin and elbow
pads, but haven't yet.  The shorts, socks, and shirts go in with the
regular wash (double rinse though).  We play inline, but all but our
skates are for ice hockey.

This keeps smell to a minimum for us, and we don't need to worry about
our toddler getting exposed to the Febreze regularly.

That subject's been discussed at length on this string already...let's not go 
there again.

Personally, I used Febreze in moderation on my hockey equipment for 4 
straight seasons and left the equipment out in the basement where my cat ran 
around, and my cat used to sleep on the equipment and in the bag (that's 
another story altogether LOL I was the only shedding hockey player!) and it 
never adversely affected her, so from personal experience I'm going to have 
to say that Febreze is effective in keeping equipment smell at bay.  Another 
thing that works, with gloves and skates, are dryer sheets.  Just stick the 
sheet inside the offending glove or skate and leave it with the other 
equipment....it masks the smell rather well and we all know how glove smells 
are sometimes the worst.  Of course, I also faithfully had my equipment 
washed, courtesy of my grandmother and her industrial size huge washing 
machine and dryer.   Anyway, I digress.  Febreze worked for me, and I don't 
see any reason it wouldn't be suitable for anyone else.  Thank you and that 
was just my $.02, non tax-deductible.

Is the sky still falling?  Come on, let's give the "dead pets" thing a decent 
burial.

From http://www.snopes.com/toxins/febreze.htm :

"Claim:   The Procter & Gamble fabric refresher product known as Febreze is 
dangerous to household pets. 
Status:   False. 
Example:   [Collected on the Internet, 1999] "


"...However, the National Animal Poison Control Center, an organization under 
the aegis of the ASPCA, tells us that they have no evidence that Febreze, 
when used according to label instructions, is harmful to pets. Given the 
choice between believing an anonymous e-mail message and the ASPCA, we'll 
side with the ASPCA. Two of the specific concerns about Febreze -- that it 
contains zinc chloride (which is supposedly harmful to pets) and that it uses 
aerosol propellants (which pose a danger to many types of birds) are not 
viable: the improved Febreze formula (produced since December 1998) does not 
contain zinc chloride, and Febreze is a pump spray rather than an aerosol.

...But if you're tempted to forward this message along because "it can't 
hurt," keep in mind that people just like you and me work for Procter & 
Gamble and depend on their jobs for their livelihoods, and several thousand 
Internet users spreading a warning not to buy a product can represent 
millions of lost sales that affect those people, not just stockholders. I'd 
want to be sure I had some pretty strong evidence in hand before I'd assume 
that responsibility.  "

Subject: Just Loving the Game!  

Four weeks ago was the first time I donned hockey skates.  Probably
about the same time I joined this list.  Let me first say thanks to
those of you who answered my questions and supported my decision to play
ice hockey.  Now, after just playing for my fifth time (this was my
first real game, all the rest were essentially shinnies or evaluation),
I must say I'm hooked.  Thank you Karen for suggesting your league. 
What a great group of people!  Now that I've been bitten by the hockey
bug, I just wish I could find somewhere else to play in the Toronto
area!  

For those of you who want to play but are a little apprehensive, or
think you need to practice more, or skate more.... just get out there
and play!  You'll love it!  Like I said, I just started, and thanks to
all the wonderful people in my league, have learned so much!  

Just for the record, tonight I scored three goals and had an assist (we
won 6-5).  :)  I'm so exhilarated!  What a great team I'm on, what a
great coach I have!  I couldn't have done it without you guys! I LOVE
HOCKEY!

Subject: Re: Sad warning for a new season

		(snip)
		Another problem is the fans.  After the play resumed,
everyone was screaming for blood - shouting "Duck Season!"  "Kill Selane!"
and the like.   Selane was not even involved in that original play.  The
fans wanted an "eye for an 
		eye" so to speak on the marquee player.   Every time Hatcher
(the captain and team thug of the Stars) got near Selane, fans  were
screaming for blood.  At least,  Hatcher showed soem restraint by not
clobbering Selane or anyone else.  (I'm sure it was under coach's strict
orders.)
		(snip)

		The conduct of the game is the responsibility of the
coaches, officials and players, not the fans.  The fans can scream all they
want but if the people responsible do their part, the game will stay in
control.  The big problem with the NHL is that the Philadelphia Flyers
played the Russians on a North American ice surface instead of an
international sized rink.  Intimidation won and we're seeing the result of
that as this is the generation of players born after that game.  

		(snip)
		A lot of fans seem to think that bone crushing hits  (like
the one on Modano) 
		(snip)

		I watched the replays.  That was not a "bone crushing hit".
Ruslan Salei shoved Modano in the back with his stick as they turned to go
behind the net and Modano lost his balance.  Could be defined as either
checking from behind or cross checking depending on the mood or position of
the referee.  No place for that in the game but it is very common.  This
leads to the second big problem in the game.  Salei was quoted as saying "It
was an accident.  I'm being punished based on the result".  No respect for
the other players on the ice.  It was Modano's fault for falling the wrong
way.  How pathetic can you get.

		Minor hockey in Canada is putting red Stop signs on the back
of each player's jersey.  The idea being if you can see the sign, you don't
hit.  It's up to the coaches to continue to emphasize that.  Not all coaches
do.  The year the mandatory 5 minute major/game misconduct penalty came in
for checking from behind, one of our rep teams was playing out of town.  The
home team's fans were shouting "show him the numbers" as our players came in
for the hit to deliberately draw a penalty and get the player kicked out.
It was apparent that this was a team tactic.  12/13 year old kids.  These
guys are now 17 and hopefully still walking.  My youngest son is now in
Peewee and I'm coaching.  The whole coaching staff is continually
emphasizing the checking from behind is not acceptable.  I truly hope
everyone else is too.

		(snip)
		Well,  how come these same professionals seem to show
restraint when they play hockey in the Olympics?  Simple - because they know
they would get their butts thrown out of the game (and tournament) for any
behavior of that sort. 
		(snip)

		The Olympics consists of the best 20 odd players each
country can produce.  The NHL has the "best" 600 or so players in the world.
That talent pool thins out real quick and that's how you get the "defensive
specialist" out there along with the Kariya's.  The big ice surface doesn't
lend itself to intimidation tactics, there's too much room.  The NHL surface
was fine when the average player was 5'6" but the players today are HUGE and
there isn't enough room.  The NHL should have mandated big rinks when the
new buildings started to go up.  

		As for fighting, there's two schools of thought and evidence
to support both that reducing fighting has brought decreased violence in the
NHL and that the level of violence in the NHL has gone up as a result of
eliminating fighting and that argument's not one I want to go into.  

		I would think that being hit with a piece of wood that tends
to break wrists would be considered violence and far too much of that goes
on.  Guys aim for the stick and break a wrist and again it's an "accident".
Slashing at the stick is still an infraction.  Stick work has to be the #1
priority but when the NHL referees tried to crack down a few years ago in
the preseason, the same media people who complained about the violence,
complained about the length of the games.  

		IMHO, when a player is injured as a result on an infraction
of the rules, both the player and the TEAM of the player committing the
infraction should be fined a figure equal to the dollar figure of the
injured players salary while out.  THAT will cut down on the injuries.

Subject: mouthguards/nightguard ?

To LK -
I had to have a nightguard made several years ago for a TMJ problem, and my 
nightguard was tremendously different from a suitable mouthguard. The 
nightguard I had was made of a hard plastic, which would offer no protection 
if worn for sports activity. The nightguard is to only protect my teeth from 
biting or grinding at night, and nothing else - you don't really need to 
protect yourself from concussions when you sleep at night. ;o)  For the $20 a 
shock Dr. costs, I would get one of those. They (IMO) are a great value for 
the cost and the protection they give.

That's an excellent idea! You should forward it to the
NHL. 

I have a large group of friends who come to see my
games or the girls games around my area who HATE NHL
hockey because of the violence. They bring their kids
to my game and let them watch Olympic hockey on TV.
But they don't allow NHL games on the TV and they
certainly would never go to a game. Why? The violence
and the fighting.

I knew an "enforcer" for the NorthStars many years
ago. Even he hated the fighting and 'cheap hits' that
he did - but where else can you make several hundred
thousands dollars a year with a high school diploma?

Bleach may not be the greatest thing for your gear, but it (or any
similar product) is the only thing that will kill the bacteria that
is growing in your equipment causing it to smell or mold. Whether it
is the bleach or the mold, both will make your equipment deteriorate.

What I have done in the past is washed my gear with warm water
(afraid that hot would make it shrink and that cold wouldn't work
well), a little bleach (maybe 1/4 in a regular washing machine) and a
little laundry detergent. After it goes through the cycle once, I
send it through again with just cold water from the machine - to be
sure that there is no more soap or bleach in the equipment.

Then I hang it out to dry. You can always turn the dryer to "Air" and
throw your equipment in then - I would avoid using a temperature
setting in the dryer. Downside: this can also be a very noisy
process.

Happy cleaning!

Jenn

Ladies--
   I just don't get it anymore, i've been playing for about a year now. I love it, when i'm out on the ice. I just takes so much effort to gett out there. Maybe Its just i don't feel like part of the team playing with a bunch of guys I can't keep up with. I just can't seem to get moving I never feel like playing when i should be. When i get a chance i don't want to go.
Don't get me wrong i live to play, just not right now. The situation i'm in is not ideal. I just can't seem to get comfortable -playing with guys i know don't want me there, and if i play with girls i don't feel like i'm playing the way i should be playing.
To make matters worse i ripped my last pair of contacts and my glasses are too loose to wear under my helmet, so even if i wanted to exert the effort to get my sorry butt out there i couldn't because i couldn't see.

Whats wrong with me?

From: "Craig Roberts" 
Subject: MINNESOTA WOMEN'S HOCKEY

THIS WEEK÷Minnesota hits the road for a pair of non-conference games with 
Providence College in Providence, R.I. The two-game set is slated for Oct. 
23-24 at Schneider Arena. Game time both days is set for 2 p.m. EDT.

GOPHER REWIND÷The Gophers opened play in the new Western Collegiate Hockey 
Association-Womenâs League with a pair of 10-1 wins over St. Cloud State in 
a home-and-home series with the Huskies.

Friday's game at Mariucci Arena saw Minnesota get off to an early lead as 
junior Nadine Muzerall (Mississauga, Ontario/Kimball Union Academy) scored 
on the power play just 1:45 into the opening period and was the first of her 
five points on the night. Sophomore Laura Slominski (Burnsville, 
Minn./Burnsville) set up the goal, assisted on another goal by junior Kris 
Scholz (Hugo, Minn./Stillwater Area) at 7:05 and scored herself at 11:48 to 
give the Gophers a 3-0 first-period lead.

Slominski earned the game's first star for her four-point performance while 
Scholz was the second star after registering two goals and an assist. 
Sophomore Tracy Engstrom (Willmar, Minn./Willmar) earned the third star by 
scoring a pair of goals.

Engstrom was one of Saturday's standouts as well, collecting her first 
career hat trick and a career-high five points. Rookie Ronda Curtin 
(Roseville, Minn./Roseville Area) also scored three goals, including a pair 
of power-play goals, to lead the way for Minnesota.

THE CAPTAINS÷Minnesota is led by co-captains Kris Scholz and Shannon Kennedy 
(Woburn, Mass./Buckingham Browne & Nichols) this season.

Scholz served as an assistant captain during the 1997-98 season and was one 
of the team's co-captains last season. She is the team's second-leading 
career scorer with 107 points in 68 games.

The team's lone senior, Kennedy is the Gophers' most experienced collegiate 
player with 84 career games. She now has 87 career points.

ABOUT THE FRIARS÷Providence is opening its 1999-2000 season this weekend 
under new head coach Bob Deraney.

The Friars' strength lies in goal, where they have 1998 Olympian, junior 
Sara DeCosta. In two games against Minnesota last season, she stopped 68 of 
74 shots and made 37 saves in a 1-0 loss.

The defense should also be strong for Providence as they return all six 
letterwinners, including junior Val Bono who tallied 12 goals and 23 points 
last season.

Deraney will look to get more production from his forwards, a group which 
returns eight of 13 letterwinners. Last seasonâs team scoring leader, 
Jessica Tabb, returns to lead the forwards.

For Deraney, this is his first head coaching assignment. A 1987 graduate of 
Boston University, with a degree in economics, he was a goalie for the 
Terriers for four seasons and, after playing professional hockey for two 
seasons, returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach. He has also 
served as an assistant men's coach at Northeastern, Dartmouth and, most 
recently, Massachusetts, where he was the top assistant from 1993-98.

THE BUZZ ON MUZ÷With goals in each game over the weekend, Nadine Muzerall 
has scored goals in eight straight games, dating back to Minnesota's 1-1 tie 
with Brown, Feb. 27, at Mariucci Arena.

She scored the game's first goal Friday, the fourth time in seven games she 
has gotten the Gophers on the scoreboard first.

Muzerall also maintained her goal-per-game pace for her career, with 65 
goals in 64 games. She grabbed a share of the WCHA scoring lead with eight 
points on the weekend.

A CAREER NIGHT÷Along with her three goals and five points Saturday, Tracy 
Engstrom matched or surpassed a number of career-high marks.

The goals and points were both career highs while she matcher her previous 
marks with two assists and seven shots on goal.

CURTIN CALL÷Frosh Ronda Curtin got involved with the Minnesota offensive 
attach immediately in her Minnesota debut.

She warmed up Friday with an assist and four shots on goal, which led to 
Saturday's performance, where she scored three times while leading the team 
with eight shots on goal.

A BURST OF ENERGY÷In going 3-for-4 on the power play Friday, the Gophers 
wasted little time. The four power-plays resulted in just one minute, 59 
seconds of power-play time, including an appreviated 24-second power play.

Minnesota scored 31 seconds into its first power play, 53 seconds into its 
second and just 11 seconds into its final chance.

FIRST GOAL WINS...USUALLY÷By scoring first in both games over the weekend, 
Minnesota has registered the first goal in eight straight games, dating back 
to Feb. 27.

Last season, the Gophers scored first in 30 of 36 games, posting a 28-1-1 
record. All-time, Minnesota is 49-3-3 when scoring first and 3-8-2 when its 
opponent scores first. Of the 55 first-goals score by the Gophers, Nadine 
Muzerall has recorded 16.

THE SERIES÷Minnesota holds a 4-0-0 lead in its all-time series with 
Providence. The Gophers have two shutout wins over the Friars, one of which 
came last season, Feb. 19, at Mariucci Arena. The two teams will be meeting 
for the first time at Providenceâs Schneider Arena.

WHEN LAST WE MET÷Minnesota swept a two-game series from Providence, Feb. 
19-20, last season by earning 1-0 and 5-1 wins at Mariucci Arena.

Nadine Muzerall scored at 15:58 of the opening period in game one and Erica 
Killewald (Troy, Mich./Troy) stopped 15 shots to make the goal stand. Sara 
DeCosta had 37 saves in the loss. Courtney Kennedy (Woburn, Mass./Buckingham 
Browne & Nichols) and Jenny Schmidgall each scored twice in the series 
finale as Minnesota outshot its guest 36-11 to claim a 5-1 victory.

THE COACH÷Now in her third season behind the Minnesota bench and 10th season 
as a college head coach, Laura Halldorson has established herself as one of 
the nation's premier coaches in women's hockey, sporting a 111-86-15 overall 
record and a 52-11-6 mark at Minnesota.

She began her head coaching career at Colby College, where she led the White 
Mules, one of only two non-Division I schools at the time in the 12-team 
Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference, to a 12-9-1 overall record in 
1995-96, earning ECAC Co-Coach of the Year honors as well as being named the 
New England Hockey Writersâ Coach of the Year. While at Colby, she also 
recruited and coached U.S. National Team members Meaghan Sittler and Barb 
Gordon.

At the national level, Halldorson was the assistant coach for the gold 
medal-winning team at the 1998 USA Hockey Women's Festival and was the head 
coach of the silver medal-winning team at the 1999 event. Last December, she 
served as an assistant for the U.S. National team that competed in the Three 
Nations Cup in Finland. She was also an assistant for the National Under-22 
team this past summer.

A native of Plymouth, Minn., and a 1981 graduate of Wayzata High School, 
Halldorson played four years at Princeton, where she was a co-captain and 
all-conference performer while leading the Tigers to three Ivy League 
titles. She graduated from Princeton in 1985 with a degree in psychology.

A member of the 1987 U.S. National Women's Team and three national club 
championship teams with the Minnesota Checkers, Halldorson returned to her 
alma mater in 1987 to begin her collegiate coaching career as an assistant.

ITâS HOME÷The home of Gopher Women's Hockey is Mariucci Arena (9,700). One 
of the finest college hockey facilities in the country, Mariucci Arena will 
be Minnesota's home until the new womenâs hockey facility, scheduled to open 
in the 2001, is completed.

Known as one of the toughest arenas in the nation on visiting teams, the 
Gophers are 26-5-5 in the six-year-old building.

NEXT UP÷Minnesota travels east again next weekend when they face 
Northeastern in Boston, Mass. The two-game series, Oct. 29-30, gets underway 
at 7 p.m. EDT both nights at Matthews Arena.
