Message-ID:
Last Update: May 22, 1996
This message contains information about how to subscribe and unsubscribe to
this mailing list, where to get more help if you need it, and how to contact
the list admins.
If you do nothing else, PLEASE store the address
in your bookmark file. This will take you to the page containing all of the
of instructions on how to subscribe and unsubscribe to the mail lists, what
lists and other services are available on this server, how to contact real
people for more help, and how to access the system-wide help guides and
tutorials. This one address is your entry point for getting anything you
need on the system, so you can get an updated copy of the instructions
any time you need them.
=====
How We Run Our Lists
=====
The paradigm we use for running our lists is that of the Virtual Sports
Bar -- it's a place people can go to meet people with similar interests
to talk about them, relax, and have a good time. Behavior that's
acceptable in that kind of establishment is acceptable here. It's not
bad to have strong opinions and to discuss them with enthusiasm. We do
not tolerate the "angry drunks" of the Internet.
If you refuse to allow others to express their opinion as you're
allowed to express yours, or if you become abusive, if you break up the
furniture, forget your toilet training, or generally act like an jerk,
your membership may be terminated. Virtual Sports Bars also have
Virtual Bouncers. Ours is named Guido, and he's hung-over and grumpy.
Do not force us to wake him up.
We ask people to act like you would if you were all in a room
together. Some users of the Internet have decided that because this is
all electronic, it means they can do whatever they want. These people
will not be on the list very long. We're tired of babying the idiots,
to be blunt about it.
=====
Subscribing to and unsubscribing from the mail list.
=====
All mailing list commands must be sent to the address
email@hidden
Never send them to the list itself -- that's a very rude thing to do to
your fellow list-users (and it doesn't work, either).
To subscribe to a mailing list, put the string
SUBSCRIBE listname your real name
in the body of the message. "Listname" is the name of the mailing list you
want to join -- for instance, "sharks" or "la-kings" or "maple-leafs". For
example, to join the sharks list, you would use:
SUBSCRIBE SHARKS John Doe
Common mistakes: Don't use "email@hidden". Don't use quotes or
other punctuation in the command. Don't put your e-mail address on the
command instead of your real name, and don't forget to put your name in the
command. Do not put commands in the Subject of the mail message -- leave the
subject blank, or put spaces in it if you have a mailer that requires a
subject line.
To unsubscribe from a list, put the string
UNSUBSCRIBE listname
in the body of your message. "Listname" is the same as for subscribe:
"sharks", not "email@hidden".
If you want more details on how the list daemon operates, we've written a
tutorial for you. If you e-mail
email@hidden
the system will return it to you automatically.
=====
Getting More Help
=====
We have written a number of help files that will help you use our server.
You can get them by e-mailing the address shown below. They will be returned
to you automatically.
email@hidden -- as talked about above, the list of everything
you can do or access on our system. Everything you need to know
is either in this file, or has a pointer to it here. If you
remember no other address, remember this one!
email@hidden -- a tutorial for teaching the mail
list daemon to behave. Recommended if you are totally confused,
or if you are looking for more advanced capabilities of the
servers, this if the place to look.
email@hidden -- a document of helpful hints on common
mistakes and other problems that we see on the mail lists, and
rules of behavior we ask everyone on our lists to follow. We
encourage all users to read this file at least once.
List specific files -- each mailing list has a file with information
specific to that mailing list. This file is sent to all users when
they subscribe, but to get a new copy, you can send to
email@hidden
where "listname" would be the name of the list you're getting
information from. For instance, to get information on the sharks
mailing list, send e-mail to:
email@hidden
For the maple-leafs list, use:
email@hidden
=====
Contacting the List Admins
=====
If you need help from a real person, send e-mail to:
A live person will get to you as soon as they can. Please be patient -- it's
not unusual for the admins to take a day or two (and sometimes longer) to
get back to you. We handle all mail First In, First Out to be as fair as
possible to everyone. If you're having trouble making the mail daemon
cooperate, PLEASE send a copy of the error message it returns with the mail,
or we can't debug the problem, and let us know what you're trying to do, and
what you tried. The more information you give us, the faster we can fix it.
Please try to follow the instructions first -- there are simply too many
users for us to have time to do the administrative work FOR you. Most days,
we can barely keep up with the problems of people who can't make it work, so
we ask for everyone's cooperation here. Please read the instructions, and
try to follow them. If you can't make it work, come ask us for help. But try
first. If you don't try, or if you don't send us the information we need,
we'll simply send you back to the instructions -- we consider it important
that users learn how to properly use mail lists, even though it actually
takes us more time many days than just doing it for you. It's part of being
a good citizen on the net, and we try to help the new users come up to
speed and learn the proper way to do things.
And please -- don't try forever and put off contacting us until you're
frustrated and angry. That doesn't do anything but create problems, either.
If it doesn't work the first couple of times, it won't work the 50th, and it
isn't good for either of us if you wait until the first message to the List
Admin is incoherent and/or hostile. (hint: users should not be abusive to
the person they're asking to do something for them. Amazing how often this
is forgotten...)
=====
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
=====
This is a list of the ten most common mistakes we see on the mailing lists.
There are many common problems that occur time and time again on the
mailing lists. The document above covers these
in more detail, and has many others as well. If you haven't read it
yet, please do so. It'll save you the problems of re-inventing these
mistakes on your own, and help you avoid the easy ones completely.
1) NEVER POST ADMINISTRATIVE COMMANDS TO THE ENTIRE LIST. It's very rude,
and it won't work. all you'll get is a note from the List Admins telling you
how to get the instructions... Use the address to get
the instructions, or if nothing else works, write the admins for help at
2) BE NICE TO YOUR FELLOW LIST USERS. Abusive users will be removed the
lists and locked off the systems. Remember that most lists have younger
members -- we aren't prudes, but please watch your language. We encourage
people to keep things reasonable.
3) DO NOT POST COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL. Material that's copyrighted is
owned by someone -- if you grab it and post it to a mail list without
permission, you've just stolen it. That's neither legal nor right. It
can get you in trouble, it can get us in trouble, it can get the mail
list shut down. I know many parts of the Internet ignore this -- but we
don't, and the parts that DO are finding out the lawyers are starting
to make their lives miserable. If you aren't sure what copyrighted
material is, ask the admins before posting -- but anything pulled out
of a newspaper, off of a news-wire like Clarinet or Reuters, off of web
sites like ESPNet or similar services -- all of that is copyrighted.
Don't post it. If you want the list to know about it, post a pointer to
it, and tell people how to go to the original location and access it
there.
4) STAY ON TOPIC. Each list has a specific purpose. While we try to be
flexible, don't abuse it. Stay on topic. If you aren't sure whether a post
is on-topic, check the charter for the list in the -request mail lists
mentioned above, or write the list admins and check before posting.
5) DO NOT PLAY LIST ADMIN. If you have problems with something happening on
the list, contact the List Admins. DO NOT TRY TO DEAL WITH IT YOURSELF. That
usually just makes it worse. And remember -- if a bar fight breaks out, the
police will come and arrest EVERYONE involved, not just the ones that
started it. If you play List Admin and problems break out, you may well find
yourself in trouble, too. Let the Admins deal with it. That's why we're
here.
6) USE USEFUL SUBJECT LINES. If a topic drifts off the original topic,
change the Subject line to match the new topic. This is ESPECIALLY important
for Digest users -- if you don't fix the Subject line, your Subject comes
out as "Re: DIGEST #32423425623432.1", which is useless to everyone, and
many users simply don't read these messages. Do yourself a favor and take
the ten seconds needed to do it right.
7) EDIT YOUR REPLIES. There is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- more
frustrating to users of mail lists than people who include 200 lines from a
previous message, and tack on a two or three line reply to it. It's an
amazing waste of bandwidth and list-goodwill, and lazy to boot. If you
include text in your replies to the list, edit out all of those pieces that
aren't needed in the reply.
8) KEEP MESSAGES SHORT AND TO THE POINT. The longer and sloppier your
messages are, the harder they are to read -- the fewer people will bother.
Spelling, punctuation, grammar, formatting all count. Take some time to make
your messages look good. If you don't take pride in your words, why should
anyone read them? Just tossing off text that looks like it was printed by a
malfunctioning printer serves neither you nor your ideas well. Take a few
minutes to clean things up and make them look like you care -- or nobody
else will, either.
9) NO SPELLING OR GRAMMAR FLAMES. And having said that, while spelling and
grammar counts, flames about them are really lame, especially because about
70% of the time the person doing the flaming misspells something in his
flame. Go figure. Don't embarrass yourself with stupid kid stuff like this.
We have more important things to argue about.
10) KEEP SIGNATURES SHORT AND IN GOOD TASTE. Keep your signatures as short
as feasible, and keep them in good taste. Material in your signatures will
be judged the way the rest of your message is -- if it's inappropriate for
the list, it's inappropriate for the list. Excessively long, useless, boring
or annoying signatures are also not appropriate -- we may ask you to stop
using them on the list, and if you refuse, remove you from the list.
Signatures are there to identify you, not to be used for ascii pictures of
the Death Star or copies of War and Peace.

Hello to all fans and friends of women-ice-hockey !
For the german icehockey-ladies it did not come of course
unexpectedly, but still it was a shock.

area of the ladies-nationalteam. Nationalteamcoach -Rainer Nittel- is must
practically jobless, courses are cancelled, a planned tournament in Norway
called off will.
Nittel pleads now, the national team in a one's own initiativ to further.
The Esslinger (german championshipwinner) Coach -Peter Kuerten- is for it, to
found a sponsor-association for the ladies-nationalteam and personally
sponsors to look for. That supports also the ladies-commissioner -Andreas
Lauer- .
Go along want also some parents from the nationalplayers.
In shorten should be founded the sponsor-association. For it, become still
some
prominent patrons and dedicated comrades-in-arms looked for. Who can help

Subject: IIHF - Rule 606c
Message-ID:
Hello womens-ice-hockey friends !
In germany, the next season, the -no Body-Check-Rule- introduce at all
leagues.
The experiences during the german country-cup with the application of the
Body-Check-note in rule 606c were exceedingly positive, it has no problem
with the transformation given, neither on the part of the referee nor on the
part of the teams.
Also the participants it parallel occurring coach-conference could be
convinced through the training-video from the IIHF.
>From the coming season 1997/98 is utilized this rule in all ladies-leagues
obligatory.
Reason for the introduction is the assimilation our Determinations at the
Ruleworks from the IIHF.
This is through the interpretation presented first in this season by the IIHF
of the rule -
in writing and per video - now possibly. Through the application of this
rule
will change only very little. The rule together with the interpretation DOES
NOT say namely, that body-checks or body-tackling are forbidden, but defines
only the boundaries between allowed and forbidden body-tackling.
This is an official note from the german icehockey-association, my personally
opinion is - this rule is an bad joke !
with many greetings
Martin

Subject: Re: german womens-nationalteam
Message-ID:
All:
From what I understand from these two messages, two things have
changed with respect to the German National team.
1. They have passed a rule which limits body checking similar to the
rest of the international teams which will compete in the Olympics.
2. The German National team has been disbanded!
I hope that this is not correct. We are supposed to go forward folks,
not backward. We need more teams, not less, especially at the
national level. Here's hoping that my interpretation of these
messages is incorrect and that the German team is still viable.

Subject: Re: Alberta wins 1997 Canadian National Championship
Message-ID:
Thanks Andrea for posting the results. I watched the game and
really enjoyed it. It is really unfortunate that France St. Louis fractured
her wrist. You could almost feel the discomfort she was experiencing.
Hopefully she will heal in time for the Worlds. I agree with the Quebec
bench that the play should have been called when France did not get up. This
caused a goal. One other call that was questionable was the tripping called
against Alberta when the player pulled Nancy Drolet down from behind, while
she was on a "break away. Shouldn't that have been a penalty shot? Lucky
Nancy wasn't seriously injured!
What I found disappointing in that game was the fact that on both
teams the uniforms were not the same. Couldn't they have ensured that all
players from either team have the same uniform?

Hi
Just wanted to know how many newspapers covered the championship monday?
The London Free Press did not have a sitch and they flaunt that they
have 33% more sports. Which means that leaving women's sports out they
have decreased womens' sports coverage by 33% as well. Thank you Mr.
Reany - sports editor.

Will surfing on hockey related topics I stumbled onto this.
They list info on leagues, tournements and other related stuff.
You can search each topic by country state or province. Some states have alot
of info. Alot of the stuff listed for leagues was for youth but some was not.
I have not followed up on many of them. I looked in MASS and there were 159
entries.
I don't think it is an all inclusive list but I hope it will be a good place
to start.
Hope it may help people.
