Actually, as far as I know, there is no rule against pushing a player
out of an area. You just have to be sure that you do it without a
collision and without throwing elbows, etc. I have always edged
players to where I want them to go...I just keep my weight low and
push them with my shoulder until they are out of the slot. The key is
to push them in a direction where their skates will aid you in
pushing, so pushing from the side might be harder than pushing from
the front.

Read the interference rule, which is basically checking someone not
in possession of the puck. Every time someone gets cleared from the slot,
it could be considered "grey area" interference. If you resort to anything
more than pushing, or wrestle that person to the ice, that's when interference
is often called.

Subject: Dirty Hockey, Physical Play
To anyone who might have an opinion-
I am 41 years old, and after 20 years of goaltending and two subsequent
years of sitting out a knee injury, I started skating left wing on a B2
team - a big challenge for a goalie-turned- "skater"!
The times I wish I hadn't started this adventure at all is when a team is
down (like last night, 4-0) and so turn chippy, and often dangerously dirty.
I was playing the puck along the boards late in the second period when the
opposing defense player decided to intimidate me and cross-checked me FROM
BEHIND right into the boards, and right in front of a ref who did not call
it - just said "play the puck". Thank god I am fit and downright lucky, as
I didn't fall but really smarted at the hard hit across my back.
Moments late on the same shift I was cleanly backchecking, poked the puck
away and the girl tripped over my stick. Guess who got a penalty? And we
were the home team!
So - one of my thoughts is how discouraging it is when a team gets dirty to
gain an advantage, as they don't at all consider who they might be hurting
and who's hockey career they might end (as my goalie career was ended).
Another is that hockey IS a frustrating game of inches, and how one
translates that frustration makes all the difference in a game - do you just
skate harder, or do you lash out at the other team? I vote skate harder and
practice more, but until everyone believes that's the best way to resolve
the frustration of trying and losing, we'll continue to have some unpleasant
hockey experiences.
Definitely just my two cents. And I do miss playing goal.

At one time I had a site listed on my favorites which had several photos of
the different National teams at different tournaments. I think it was called
tee pee communicatoins, or something to that effect. I am now at home (new
computer) and I'm looking to find this sight again. Does anybody have the
address?
Thanks.

Subject: Re: Dirty Hockey, Physical Play
While it is almost impossible to predict a blindsided, illegal check, when I've been on the recieving end of one, I go down....and stay down. A player in our women's league has perfected this move to an art, drawing quite a few penalties.
I am a substantial sized woman and was taken off my feet defending the goal mouth last year by a cross check to the throat. Up to that point in the game, I played aggressively but nicely, attemping to nudge the forwards out of my zone, nothing dirty. In my case, also, the ref was right there and called nothing. I took that as a sign more aggressive play was going to be tolerated, so I dialed up my play. This was a game at Nationals in D.C. last year, so I figured this is a good a ref as we are going to get. If they aren't going to call a lot of contact, then we will have to bite back to avoid getting walked over.
Rather than play the forwards close in and push, I positioned myself behind them, between me and the ref in the corner. With my stick blade on the ice, I worked a left jab to the shoulder blades that snaps their shoulders forward and head back nicely (kind of like those bobbing head dogs in cars). The blasted ref kept yelling "down in front!!", but still wouldn't call anything....wimps!
That game had potential for a fight to break out, except our team doesn't play that way. The other team couldn't goad us into a glove drop, even though there were a lot of nasty looks thrown around. That's not my proudest hockey moment, to be sure, but it was effective to slow down some of the nasty play from the other side. When we started to "bite" back, they slowed up on the cheap stuff and concentrated more on skating. Of course, they still beat us, and we cheerfully shook hands at the end (we won the "Most Sportsmanlike" award).
So my answer to the question about cheap shots is step up your physical level within what the refs will call. You don't have to knock someone down to "get even", but you can jack with them enough to affect the outcome of the game.

NCAA GIVES FINAL APPROVAL FOR WOMEN¢S CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2001: Indianapolis, IN - The NCAA announced Tuesday that during the Jan. 9-10 NCAA convention in San Diego, Calif., its membership adopted legislation to establish an official championship in women's ice hockey, effective with the 2000-01 season. The specific format and field size of the championship has not yet been determined.

The NCAA Division III Presidents Council also has announced that it intends to introduce legislation for a vote during the 2001 NCAA Convention that would establish a Division III national championship, effective with the 2001-02 academic year.
American Women's College Hockey Alliance, sponsored by USA Hockey, currently conducts championships at the Divisions I and III levels. The 2000 championships will be held March 24-25 at Northeastern University's Matthews Arena.
THE DOGCATCHER: Kendra Antony (Yorkton, Sask.) tallied her first career hat trick this past weekend with a three-goal outburst against Minnesota-Duluth on Jan. 14. The goals gave Antony all six Badger goals against the Bulldogs until Bridget Buchholz (Waupun, Wis.) tallied on Jan. 15. Three of the six goals have come on the power play for the frosh, who has scored 40 percent (six of her team-leading 15 goals) of her goals against unbeaten UMD. The Badgers¢ leading scorer has 15 goals and 15 assists for 30 points in 22 games on the season. One of seven Badgers to play in all 22 games, Antony has yet to go more than a game without tallying a point.
Antony has been especially productive against ranked competition. In 11 games against ranked opponents, Antony has nine goals and five assists for 14 points. The next closest Badger is Kelly Kegley who has five points in nine games against ranked opponents.
BB GUN: First-year forward Bridget Buchholz had the her best offensive performance of the season against No. 5 Minnesota-Duluth this past weekend. Buchholz earned an assist on the first Badger goal in Friday¢s game, then scored the UW¢s only goal on Saturday.
The Waupun, Wis., native ranks eighth on the Wisconsin scoring chart with seven points, and sixth on the goal-scoring chart with four goals.
MELøOøDRAMA: Melanie Schmitt (Sheboygan, Wis.) climbed to into sixth on Wisconsin¢s scoring chart with two assists in Friday¢s game against UMD. The frosh set up Kendra Antony for two of her three goals in the game. Schmitt now has two goals and six assists in 22 games on the season.
JENøE SAIS QUOI: With 44 saves in the Badgers 6-3 loss to UMD on Friday, Jen Neary (Dallas, Texas) recorded the second-highest save total in Badger history. Neary stopped 12 in the first period, 19 in the second and 13 more in the third to keep Wisconsin in the game. The frosh faced 82 shots in a game and a half over the weekend. She has also faced 167 shots in her last seven periods, which includes action against Team USA and Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union defending champion Concordia (Quebec).
THE BUCKEYES: Ohio State (4-17-1, 4-9-1 WCHA) comes to Wisconsin having won three of its last four conference games. The Buckeyes started the season with just one win in its first 10 WCHA contests. Most recently, OSU split a home series with Bemidji State (2-0, 2-3). Emily Hudak had both goals for the Buckeyes in their win.
Corinne Rosen also scored against the Beavers, and leads the team in scoring with seven goals and nine assists for 16 points in 22 games. Shana Frost with six goals and six assists, and Lindsay Ogren, with seven goals and four assists, help lead an attack that averages just 1.45 goals per game.
OSU¢s goaltending tandem of the April Stojak and Melissa Glaser have been solid. Stojak sports a 3.61 goals against average and .875 save percentage while Glaser is allowing 3.08 goals per game and has a .908 save percentage. The Buckeyes are averaging just 2.79 goals against in WCHA action to rank third among the conference¢s seven teams.
Jackie Barto (Providence, 1984) heads the Buckeyes in their first season of action. Barto coached her alma mater for four and a half seasons prior to joining Ohio State.
The two teams met earlier this season with the Badgers taking the first game, 2-1, and the two teams tying the second, 1-1. Kendra Antony, Michelle Sikich and Kerry Weiland were the Badger goal scorers, while Shana Frost had both goals for the Buckeyes in the first series. The win for Wisconsin the first time the two team¢s met was the first in program history for the Badgers.
QUICK HITS: Wisconsin is the least penalized team in the WCHA with an average of 9.2 minutes per game. Ohio State is the most penalized team in the nation at 17.3 minutes per game...The Badgers fell to .500 for the first time since Oct. 22, when they were 2-2-1...The UW is 7-0-1 on the season against its next four opponents.
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE: The Badgers notched their first win in program history with a 2-1 victory at Ohio State on Friday, Oct. 15. Michelle Sikich (So., Apple Valley, Minn.) tallied the game-winner at 9:52 of the third period and Chanda Gunn (Huntington Beach, Calif.) made 30 saves to earn the win.
ONE FOR YOU, ONE FOR ME: The Badgers boast four skaters with at least a point per game average. Kendra Antony leads the quartet with 30 points in 22 games (1.36 points per game). Sis Paulsen (Eau Claire, Wis.) follows with 24 points in 19games (1.26). Michelle Sikich, with 21 points in 18 games (1.17), and Kelly Kegley, with 17 points in 16 games (1.06), complete the group.
