I have played with the boys all of my career, and am now to old to play in
the youth leagues (where checking was allowed).
I decided to go on to the adult women's league only to find out that
checking isn't allowed in women's hockey. WHY NOT!?!?!?
Needless to say I am not happy because I'm really having to totally rework
my game (I'm on the defensive line). Any advice or ideas?

Subject: MINNESOTA WOMEN'S HOCKEY
THIS WEEK„Fresh off a two-game trip to Providence, R.I., Minnesota returns to
the East Coast this weekend for two games in Boston, Mass., with Northeastern.
Game time both Friday and Saturday is 7 p.m. EDT at the Huskies' Matthews Arena.
GOPHER REWIND„In their first non-conference action of the season, the Gophers
split a two-game series at Providence, winning 3-1 Saturday and losing 1-0
Sunday.
Minnesota had to overcome an early deficit to earn Saturday's win, falling
behind 1-0 midway through the opening period, a lead which Providence maintained
until frosh Ronda Curtin (Roseville, Minn./Roseville Area) scored on the power
play less than two minutes into the third period.
The game-winner came from junior Nadine Muzerall (Mississauga, Ontario/Kimball
Union Academy) with 10:37 to play and junior Winny Brodt (Roseville,
Minn./Roseville Area) scored less than three minutes later to clinch the win.
In a battle of two of the nation's top goalies, Minnesota junior Erica Killewald
(Troy, Mich./Troy) bested 1998 U.S. Olympian Sara DeCosta. Killewald stopped 26
of 27 shots while DeCosta had 21 saves.
Sunday, however, the Gophers were unable to solve DeCosta, who made 22 saves to
shutout Minnesota 1-0. Killewald, once again, gave up just one goal while
stopping 26 shots.
NORTHEASTERN RECENTLY„With the exception of Saturday's 8-3 exhibition win over
Assabet Valley, the Huskies have been idle since opening the season with a pair
of road wins at Ohio State, Oct. 8-9.
In opening the season with a 6-0 win, Northeastern scored four power-play goals
in a game marred by 33 penalties and 25 power play chances. Hilary Witt scored
twice and assisted on three other goals to lead the Huskies, who outshot their
hosts 57-20. Colleen Coen scored goals 16 seconds apart in the first period and
Beth Claggett added three assists as Northeastern closed out the weekend sweep
of the Buckeyes with a 7-2 victory. Brooke Whitney also scored twice and added
an assist.
THE CAPTAINS„Minnesota is led by co-captains Kris Scholz (Hugo, Minn./Stillwater
Area) 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 teamÍs co-captains last season. She is the team's second-leading career
scorer with 107 points in 70 games.
The team's lone senior, Kennedy is the Gophers' most experienced collegiate
player with 86 career games, scoring 87 career points.
THE BUZZ ON MUZ„By scoring Saturday's game-winning goal, Nadine Muzerall
extended her goal-scoring streak to a school-record nine games. During that
stretch of games, dating back to Feb. 27, 1999, she scored 11 goals.
SNIPER„Gopher rookie Ronda Curtin is proving to be a valuable sniper for her
team early this season. Saturday, her power-play goal at 1:53 of the third
period tied the score and was her fourth goal of the season.
The goal was also her third power-play marker of the season, a total which leads
the team, as do her 19 shots on goal.
WILD ABOUT WINNY„Last season, Winny Brodt moved from defense to center and
flourished at the new position, scoring 10 goals and 36 points in 23 games after
making the switch in January.
This season she is back on the blue line but still sees occassional action at
forward, mainly during power plays.
Saturday, however, when Nadine Muzerall was injured midway through the third
period, Brodt began taking regular shifts at center and, on her first
even-strength shift, she notched her second goal of the season to clinch the
win.
Brodt is tied with Muzerall for the team lead in assists (6) and is second in
points (8).
SHUT DOWN„When Minnesota was held to just two shots on goal in the second period
of Sunday's loss, it was the lowest total by a Minnesota team since being
allowed just one shot by Cornell, Nov. 29, 1997.
Ironically, the Gophers limited Cornell to just one shot in the second period of
that game and went on to a 3-2 victory, clinching the title of the Princeton
Thanksgiving Invitational.
FIRST GOAL WINS...USUALLY„When Providence got on the scoreboard first Saturday,
Minnesota had reason to worry. Afterall, the Gophers were 49-3-3 when scoring
first and 3-8-2 when its opponent scored first.
Minnesota bucked that trend with a come-from-behind win Saturday but could not
do the same in Sunday's 1-0 loss, giving the Gophers a 4-9-2 record all-time
record when allowing the gameÍs first goal.
THE SERIES„The Gophers and Huskies are 1-1-2 in four previous meetings. The two
teams tied twice in their first two meeting, Jan. 24-25, 1997, at Minnesota.
Northeastern then defeated Minnesota 4-0 in the third place game of the 1998
AWCHA National Championship and the Gophers were a 5-2 winner last year at the
Princeton Thanksgiving Invitational.
WHEN LAST WE MET„Minnesota used a pair of power-play goals to jump out to a 3-0
lead and defeated Northeastern 5-2 at the Princeton Thanksgiving Invitational,
Nov. 27, 1998.
Nadine Muzerall scored her ninth goal of the season in seven games and added
three assists while Erica Killewald turned aside 32 shots for the Gophers.
Jennie Setaro had a goal and an assist for the Huskies.
THE COACHES„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 womenÍs hockey, sporting a 112-87-15 overall record
and a 53-12-6 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
Writers' 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.
BEHIND THE HUSKY BENCH„Northeastern's Heather Linstad is in her eighth season as
the Huskies' head coach, sporting a career mark of 141-62-24. A 1989 graduate of
Providence, she led her team to the 1997 Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference
title.
IT'S HOME„The home of Gopher WomenÍs Hockey is Mariucci Arena (9,700). One of
the finest college hockey facilities in the country, Mariucci Arena will be
MinnesotaÍs home until the new womenÍs hockey facility, scheduled to open in
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 ends a stretch of five straight road games next weekend when
it hosts Brown and Harvard, Nov. 5 and, at Mariucci Arena.
The Gophers take on the Bears Friday, beginning at 7:05 p.m., and then face the
Crimson Sunday at 2:05 p.m. Brown and Harvard switch opponents Sunday as the
former heads to Wisconsin and the latter heads west for Minnesota.

I agree with RH on this point. Just 2 weeks ago, one of my football
players had a severe allergic reaction on the field. He broke out in the
worst case of hives that I have ever seen, and his face swelled so badly
that he looked like 60 years instead of 16. After he responded to
treatment, we began going over the changes that he had made in his football
equipment. It turns out that his sister was spraying his clothes with
Febreeze to get rid of the smell. Only after he had washed all of his
equipment and clothing in hot water with bleach several times were we able
to stop the allergic reactions.
This may be an isolated incident, but I wouldn't use it.
Just my $.02
