"Ditto" on the interest in purchasing tapes of Team USA games. There is
no way to see them down here!!!
I would send a blank tape to whoever, with a check for your time for
copying them, with an envelope to return the tape with the priority postage
on it.

Unless there are some last-minute changes, the only USA game that TSN would
show would be the final. They're showing Canada's round-robin games
tonight and Thursday, Canada's semifinal, and the Gold medal game. Too
bad, because the USA-Finland semi-final is always a good game to watch.

Just thought I would put in a plug for a small company that one of you
referred me to.
http://www.chickwear.com/
I bought a t-shirt for Rachel from this gal yesterday, and she is trying to
position herself to be a premier supplier of everything for women's and
girl's hockey. Please support her. It is about time that someone
serves this market. She would love to hear from you about products you
want her to carry, etc. I gave her some ideas today.
I have no vested interest in her company except to see someone succeed and
serve our marketplace.

Subject: embarrassing moments
As a goalie I am at least spared the falling over the board embarrassing
scenes but have been the victim of several others. The newest was last week
when after a player crashing into me and sending me into the back of the
net. My skate became stuck in the mesh and I couldn't get out. The play
had switched to the other end and no one noticed that I couldn't get out.
The four fans that regularly attend our games noticed and tried to get the
ref's attention but no one came to help. I eventually was able to work the
skate out of the mesh but still can't figure out how it became so tightly
trapped! Doubt I could do it again if I tried!

It depends on how tall you are, I guess. Or maybe partly that, and partly
upper body strength. I'm 5'8" and I never had to "learn" to go over the
boards. I could do it the first time I tried. (And I'm pretty klutzy.)
I've never seen had a male teammate, even a short one, have any trouble,
but a couple of my female teammates who are short have trouble.

I think it also have to do with the height of the boards. We have some
rinks down here that have ridiculously high boards. it's funny to watch
the little kids sit on the bench because you can barely see the tops of
their helmets.

I'm 4'11" and I go over the boards. I've played tournament hockey all over
the place and the only boards that ever gave me alot of trouble is one
particular sheet of ice in Fraser, Mi. There are like 5 sheets of ice there
and only one has terribly high and wide boards.
Basically I jump the boards by first jumping up, straddle the board (for
balance) and then jump to the ice. Try that.

Subject: RE: boards
I have to say that going over the boards is much faster and
much easier than using the door whan changin on the fly. I
have never had problems going over the boards. To leave
the bench, you usually have time to get ready, so I get one
leg on the boards, when it is time to go, I push off of my
stick to get the other leg up and over in one motion. This
seems to work well when I play D or wing (usually only do
that for fun, I'm really a goalie).
When I first started playing, my team had two goalies and
we would switch halfway through the second period. We
couldn't always get a play stoppage at a convenient time,
so both of us learned to change on the fly (ie jump the
boards in goalie gear and skate as fast as possible). THis
experience has proved to be very valuable when we are down
one late in the game, because I was already used to
sprinting to the bench and jumping the boards.
Get your coach to show you several ways of jumping over the
boards (the coach on my current team even does a
conditioning drill which requires going over the boards,
skating around the rink twice, doing a position appropriate
skating drill for 2 min. and getting back to the bench,
going over the boards again). Our coach did and the only
time anyone goes out the door is when there was a play
stoppage.

Subject: The Gap Widens
C'mon, let's get some discussion going here!
I'm sure the IIHF is disappointed at the lopsided scores so far in the
Women's Worlds. All the talk about the narrowing "gap" between the haves and
the have-nots of women's hockey has vanished in view of scores like 15-0,
16-1 (the USA certainly love to run up the score) and 9-0 and 8-1 (we
Canadians are nicer). Mind you, Sweden were nasty girls to the Japanese as
well. I'm wincing to think of what the USA will do to Japan...
This isn't advancing the cause of international women's hockey at all. One
can imagine the scene at sports editor's offices as the "boys" chomp on
cigars and pull the scotch out of the drawer and laugh as the results come
in from the wire services.
I wonder if there should be fewer teams admitted to Pool A? Comments?

Subject: boards drill
Here's a drill that my coach made our team do this year to improve changing
opn the fly and going over the boards. It really helped. Plus it is kind of
a unique drill.
Divide into 2 even teams (goalies included).
Put one team on each bench.
At the blow of a whistle (from a coach) 3 or 5 players (pick a number a start
for entire drill) go over the boards,
They skate to the opposite side of rink (width ways) and touch glass or boards
with their stick.
They then skate as hard as possible back to the bench and go in through the
doors.
The next 3/5 can only go when the 3/5 before them are in the door all the way.
One exception to this game is that if you have player(s) with bad knees (ie.
had surgey on them) they can be allowed to go in and out doors instead of over
boards. Our team has a history of several skaters with bad knees.
This drill is great for a chang of pace or to run on a practice day when you
are doing a lot of relay drills. It also makes for great fun to watch the
goalies go over the boards.
BTW- our team ranges in height from barely 5'0" to 5"11" and some of the
shortest players are the best at this drill.

Subject: boards
We'll I like to say I'm five feet, but I actually am
four foot eleven and a half.
The first time I went over the boards it was during
an afternoon shinny game and I was the only women out
there. All the men changed on the fly going over the
boards and I really wanted to fit in. So as soon as it
was my turn I went over. And sure enough I landed on
my ass. All the guys on the bench let out this big
oooh sound. And I didn't try it again.
Although, I think I'll try it again because their's
nothing as cool as watching players fly over the
bench. In some weird way it almost turns you into a
better player because it's a confidence builder.
Sometimes the things in hockey which really aren't
necessary - like board jumping, one foot stopping when
your coming to the bench etc., are just so tempting to
want to do because their so cool to look at.
Anymore thoughts on those cool related hockey stuff.
The coolest game on earth!!
