Subject: San Antonio hockey
Hi there,
I am in the process of moving from Phoenix to San Antonio, Texas. Does
anyone on this list have information about women's hockey in the area?
I have found some information for Austin and Dallas, but none for San
Antonio.
I am currently playing inline hockey, but would also consider ice.
Thanks in advance

Can anyone recommend any tournaments on the west coast (US or Can.) at the
rec or "C" level? I will check Andria's list but was looking for personnel
experiences. Also if anyone has been fortunate enough to find sponsors, how
much to you charge for sponsor patches, ie across back or shoulder patches?
Thanks,
Tanya

I don't know if plugging your own tournament counts as "personal
experience", but ours here in Victoria, BC is in its' second year...last
time out we had about 10 teams (Canadian and US) 4 guaranteed games, a party
at the rink, shuttle service from the motel (special tournament rate).
Victoria is also a lovely city to visit in the early Spring (March 17-19).
The tournament is hosted by my team, the Victoria Stingers. We're a senior
Rec team with a wide variety of skill levels and a serious commitment to
having fun. It's listed on Andria's tournament page, but if you'd like more
detail, e-mail me at email@hidden
Hope to hear from you,
Debbie Cottrell

Last night someone from the CHA was on NPR (It was All Things Considered,
I think) was talking about making junior hockey safer and more pleasant.
They have STOP signs on the backs of jerseys to remind kids not to check
from behind, parent codes of conduct, and graduated solutions for kids who
continue to be violent on the ice. He was not clear, but it sounded like
they would go as far as counselling for kids who were violent to the point
of hurting others. As well, there was an initiative aimed at parents about
heckeling officials. It went something like "10,000 officials leave hockey
every year. Are you part of the problem?" There appeared to be hand outs
for this as well. I couldn't find anything on the CHA website. Does
anyone know any more about this?

This sounds like a great idea, in theory. But, the sad truth of the matter
is that as long as fighting in the NHL is glorified and condoned, there will
never be an end to youths (or adults) imitating what they think is an
acceptable part of the game.
As long as the refs continue to let the guys fight, as long as the music
control dude in the arenas plays a thumping drum beat as the players are
fighting, as long as the video control dude in the arena shows cartoons of
fights and the like (pie fights, etc) on the video screen in the arena after
a fight, and as long as the fans continue to cheer when fights break out, as
long as the sports channels show the fights as part of the nightly highlight
films, as long as the annoucners stop touting the fighting skills of
particular players, this pathetic trend will continue.
It all starts with the NHL. If the NHL would crack down on this and start a
zero tolerance policy and suspend and fine the players who are involved in
fights as in other professional sports leagues (Baseball, NBA, NFL, etc)
this would significantly reduce the amount of violent acts by youngsters in
the game. Make it an unacceptable part at the highest level of the games,
and it will tirckle down to the lower levels.
