Re: How about a roster call?

[email@hidden]

I cover women's hockey the Western New York area as a columnist for 
Western New York Hockey Magazine. It comes out monthly in the area and 
I report on all levels of ice hockey for women. In addition I'm a 
professional sports photographer who covers the Buffalo Sabres on a 
regular basis and other sports as well. I'm always interested in 
unusual stories about women in ice hockey. At one time I did a story on 
a woman in California who produces women's ice hockey tee-shirts, key 
chains and etc. that are geared to women.
I do a lot of traveling and like to know what's going on out there and 
plaidworks has kept me up to date on different issues.

Subject: How about a roster call?

    We haven't had much discussion on the women-in-hockey list lately, 
so
I'm wondering who is here, and what you've been up to.  Why not
introduce yourself to the list, or tell us how your hockey season has
been.  Are you a player, a parent, a fan, or an organizer of female
hockey?  Or all of the above?  Is your season finished yet?   What
were your season highlights?

I've had an unusually quiet hockey season.   After many years as a
board member, a coach, convenor of a girls-only FUNdamentals
(Initiation) program,  and contributor to provincial-governing-body
meetings, I stepped down last spring from all those
responsibilities.  And my hockey-playing daughter is away at
university now, too busy with her studies to play more than the
occasional pick-up game.

So I've gone to the rink once a week to play in my senior
recreational league, and that was it.  Playing with friends (the
nucleus of my team has been together much longer than my six seasons
with them) still continues to be a joy, and I take comfort in seeing
many players older than myself still playing.  I still put away my
gear every spring, although every September I think to myself "maybe
next year I should play summer hockey and this will be easier".

Last weekend I watched a Midget game in the big Brampton tournament,
and realized it was probably the first game of any kind that I'd
watched all season.   I loved leafing through the program,
recognizing names of people I'd played with, played against, cheered
for, and coached.  What a wonderful community we've built!
