Subject: College Teams
Just curious... Does anyone one the list have any experience in "setting up"
a college hockey team (or any other sport)? I'm not even sure of the first
step but I have been warned about all the work. (Approval and funding being
the hardest of the two) I am a student at the University of South Florida. We
currently have a Men's Team but they wont let me even try out. I know several
other students (women) who want to play as well so it's not that there just
isn't any interest. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

Aren't there laws against that?
i.e. Title IX

I don't think Title IX applies to club teams which I believe is what USF
has. Title IX only applies to varsity sports governed by the NCAA.

Just to follow up what I just wrote, University of South Florida is listed
as a division 3 team in the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA).
ACHA is the governing body for most of the club teams in the U.S. The
ACHA just formed division 3 for college club teams just starting out. As
far as I know, the ACHA only has men's divisions. The University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill isn't classfied by the ACHA, but they play
Division 2 Clubs (Duke, NC State, Virginia) and they do have females on
the team. I don't know how you feel about checking. It is allowed in the
ACHA and can be brutal. I watched Penn State's Division 1 ACHA team for
several years. These guys were huge. Not that this is a deterant, but
it's very different from women's hockey. Also another problem you might
encounter with a women's only club is finding other college clubs in your
area. All of the division 3 clubs seem to be in the South. Maybe you can
make a protest about playing on the guys team at a higher level at your
school.
For more info about the ACHA check out www.achahockey.org

Subject: Rockering
Also, rockering doesn't last forever. I just had mine rockered after
having new blades installed a year ago. It happened that I skate the
night before having them done and then the night I did have them rockered
which was just the next night. It made a tremendous difference. I was
much more stable. Also, here (Chicago area) I could get them rockered for
only $9.50 a mere $4.50 more than regular sharpening. This was at Jerry's
in Skokie for those from this area.
Lastly, the guy at the store said rockering lasted about 20-30
sharpenings.

Hi, Lulu. (Now you're asking about something I feel passionate about, so I
hope you'll accept this as an apology for giving you such a hard time
before.) Yes, it is a lot of work. It helps to get a few other people
involved in the work right away. Start collecting names of potential
players, coaches, & helpers too. (Talk to any woman you see wearing hockey
skates at public skating, get the name of any woman you meet playing shinny
or on men's teams, put up signs on campus, etc.)
First, to add to J.E.'s comment, I believe that Title IX applies to any
program in US federally funded educational facilities/institutions, not
just to varsity sports. I also believe that when we were lobbying at Ohio
State for increased access to facilities and funding for our women's hockey
club, it didn't hurt that we kept mentioning Title IX in our various
letters and presentations.
The main advantage to forming a club at the university, as opposed to in
the community, is that you could get support from the university (such as
money, reduced ice time rates, help from the rec-sports-department staff,
access to various ways of recruiting students, possible access to any
equipment owned by the university, etc.) It's probably worth it to pursue
recognition as an official university club, and to find out what kinds of
help you can get through your university's sports clubs program. Go talk
to them - they probably have a handbook or checklist for new clubs.
Are there other women's or girls' hockey organizations in your town or
close enough for weekend games? Make contact with them, and let them know
of your fledgling team/club. (Talk to the Girls/Women's Rep for your
district of USA Hockey - he/she can give you contact names, and possibly
other help as well.) In my opinion, joining USA Hockey is a good thing
just for the insurance and the magazine, even for groups which might not be
ready to play any games the first season. Don't think of other
universities as your only potential opponents. One advantage of playing
against nearby community teams is that this increases your visibility among
teenage girls, and some of them may end up attending your university and
playing for you someday. (April Stojak, for example, now a goaltender for
OSU in their first varsity season, is actually an Ohio native who first
played against Ohio State's club team when she was about 12.)
Plan to have a program that welcomes beginners as well as experienced
players. When Ohio State first won the club-teams championship, more than
half the team members on that roster had never played organized hockey
before joining the OSU club.
If there are no female hockey organizations in your area at all, then you
might find it easier to start by forming a club without a formal connection
to the university at first, so you can recruit women and teenage girls from
the community as well.
Hockey is maybe harder to get going "from scratch" than some other sports,
because of the three obstacles of: equipment cost, ice time cost, and ice
time availability. I could write another essay on creative solutions to
each of these problems but I'll try to be brief. Find out whether your
university or any local arena has any equipment you could borrow or rent.
(Some arenas have skates. Some intramural programs own helmets and other
equipment.) If the only arenas in town are commercially owned, find out
their rental fees (especially whether it's any cheaper during the day,
after midnight, or during the summer), and find out how to apply for ice
rental or get on the waiting list. If there is an arena owned by your
university or by any other public or semi-public body, find out how ice
time is distributed there, how you can request ice time, and how you can
apply for a subsidised rate.
Well, that may be more than you wanted ... Starting a female hockey club is
a lot of work, but it can also be enormously rewarding. Have fun!

I believe the "Hot Off The Ice" catalog sells them- you could order with a
check or money order. Or e-mail the Zambonis from their website & ask,
