Hi Amy,
Don't try to get this much ankle support from the skates. There is only one
solution: training your ligaments, tendons and muscles in the ankle area to
hold your foot straight on the skate. Also remove the velcro, it only
hinders your flexibility. And really important: put waxed laces in your
skates, only with the waxed ones, you are able to tighten where you need
it, because they don't slip back.
Hope this helps a bit.
Regards, Nick

THIS WEEK-Fifth-ranked Minnesota, 18-5-0 (13-2-0 WCHA), plays its final
non-conference series of the season when it hosts third-ranked New Hampshire,
15-4-0, in a pair of matinees Saturday and Sunday. Both games are scheduled for
1:05 p.m. faceoffs.
GOPHER REWIND-Minnesota routed Bemidji State 6-1 and 10-0 behind an eight-goal
performance by junior Nadine Muzerall (Mississauga, Ontario/Kimball Union
Academy).
The Gophers extended their winning streak to eight games with the two victories
and pulled to within six points of league-leading Minnesota-Duluth.
Friday night saw Muzerall score three goals while adding an assist. Junior
Ambria Thomas (Fairbanks, Alaska/West Valley) scored a pair in the second period
to break a 1-1 tie. Junior Kris Scholz (Hugo, Minn./Stillwater Area) scored
Minnesota's other goal on the power play and the Gophers were 3-for-4 with a
player advantage.
Saturday, Muzerall put on a school-record scoring spree, notching five goals and
seven points, while sophomore Laura Slominski (Burnsville, Minn./Burnsville)
recorded her first career hat trick.
Minnesota outshot the Beavers 47-24 and junior Erica Killewald (Troy,
Mich./Troy) stopped all 24 Bemidji State shots for her fourth shutout of the
season.
NEW HAMPSHIRE RECENTLY-The Wildcats played three games in five days last week,
opening with an 8-2 exhibition loss to the U.S. Select Team on Wednesday. They
took to the road for the weekend and lost 4-0 at Dartmouth on Saturday but
rebounded with a 9-0 win at Boston College on Sunday.
New Hampshire grabbed a 2-0 lead against the U.S. team on a pair of Samantha
Holmes goals but the Wildcats were unable to overcome their guest's 33-14
advantage in shots on goal.
Despite outshooting Dartmouth 33-29, New Hampshire was foiled by a stellar
goaltending effort by the Big Green's Amy Ferguson.
Sunday, the Wildcats wasted little time taking control against Boston College as
Becky Livengood scored one minute, 19 seconds into the game and Holmes and Tina
Carrabba scored two goals apiece while UNH enjoyed a 43-11 advantage in shots on
goal.
THE BUZZ ON MUZ-With her eight goals on the weekend, Nadine Muzerall extended
her goal-scoring streak to eight games, scoring 16 goals during that span, while
giving her 88 career goals in 83 games. She also has three consecutive hat
tricks, having scored three goals in last week's 10-0 win at Minnesota State,
Mankato.
Minnesota is 15-1-0 on the season when she has scored a goal and 2-4-0 when she
has not scored. During her three-year career, the Gophers have a .911 winning
percentage, a 50-4-2 record, when she scores while they are 11-12-4 when she has
played and not scored.
During her scoring streak, Muzerall has tallied 22 points with five power-play
goals and one short-handed goal. She taken over the WCHA-Women's League lead in
power-play goals (8) and points (17). She helped account for five of Minnesota's
six power-play goals over the weekend, scoring three and assisting on two
others.
SLOM'S THE BOMB-With her first career hat trick and a four-point effort
Saturday, Laura Slominski has eight goals and 22 points in her last eight games,
including three games with four or more points.
Slominski has already surpassed her offensive totals of last season, when she
scored 10 goals and 32 points in 34 games. This season, she has 14 goals and 41
points in 23 games, including a national-best seven short-handed points.
TOMMY, CAN YOU HEAR ME-The play of Ambria Thomas has been hard to miss as she
has nine goals and 21 points in her last eight games.
In an 11-1 win at Bemidji State on Jan. 11, she scored four goals to tie a
school record. In Saturday's win over the Beavers, she tied another school
record with five assists.
Thomas, who is tied for the national lead with five short-handed goals, has 40
shots on goal in the last eight games as well and has a team-high 21 points on
special teams, 15 on the power play and six short handed.
SHE'S A KILLER-Goalie Erica Killewald recorded second consecutive shutout
Saturday and has not allowed a goal in her last 143:07 of action.
The shutout was the 16th of her career in 71 career games, of which she has
started 69.
CRYSTAL CLEAR-Sophomore goalie Crystal Nicholas (Tulsa, Okla./Union) stopped 17
of 18 shots Friday for her eight win of the season without a loss.
Nicholas, who has been in goal for four of the team's last six wins, remained
unbeaten and untied in her 21 career appearances, winning her 18th game while
maintaining a 0.99 goals against average.
THE POWER IS ON-With a pair of 3-for-4 efforts on the power play over the
weekend, the Gophers have scored with the player advantage in seven straight
games.
During that streak, Minnesota is 14-for-37 (37.8%) and has scored three
power-play goals in three of its last four games. In 15 league games, the
Gophers are averaging nearly two power-play goals per game, going 27-for-76
(35.5%).
NATURAL BORN KILLERS-With five successful penalty kills over the week, Minnesota
has successfully killed 31 consecutive penalties and 73 of 75 since Nov. 7.
While allowing just two power-play goals in their last 15 games, the Gophers
have scored nine short-handed goals.
Minnesota has a combined special teams percentage of .598 and leads the nation
in net special teams goal at +30.
THE SERIES-Minnesota has never beaten New Hampshire as the Wildcats own a 4-0-2
record in the six meetings. Three of those meetings have taken place at Mariucci
Arena, with UNH owning a 2-0-1 record in Minneapolis.
WHEN LAST WE MET-For the second consecutive year, the Wildcats knocked the
Gophers off in the semifinals of the American Women's College Hockey Alliance
National Championship, claiming a 3-2 overtime win at Mariucci Arena, Mar. 26,
1999.
Minnesota jumped out to a 2-0 lead on a pair of first-period goals by Nadine
Muzerall but the Wildcats fought back, getting a goal from Nicki Luongo late in
the second period and the game-tying goal from Melisa Heitzman at 8:26 of the
third period.
Heitzman went on to score the game-winner while New Hampshire was short handed,
12:37 into overtime.
Erica Killewald stopped 40 shots in the game en route to earning all-tournament
honors for the Gophers. Alicia Roberts had 25 saves for the Wildcats.
FIRST GOAL WINS...USUALLY-The Gophers have scored the first goal in six straight
games and are now 14-0-0 on the season when they score first.
In three seasons, Minnesota has scored first in 67 of 90 games and are 61-3-3 in
those games. The Gophers have been scored upon first just 22 times and are
7-13-2 in those games.
SHE'S THE BOSS-Now in her third season behind the Minnesota bench and 10th as a
head coach, Laura Halldorson has established herself as one of the nationÍs
premier coaches in womenÍs hockey, sporting a 127-91-15 overall college record
and a 68-16-6 mark at Minnesota.
She began her head coaching career at Colby College, where she led the White
Mules, one of only two non-Division I schools at the time in the 12-team Eastern
Collegiate Athletic Conference, to a 12-9-1 overall record in 1995-96, earning
ECAC Co-Coach of the Year honors as well as being named the New England Hockey
Writers' Coach of the Year. While at Colby, she also recruited and coached U.S.
National Team members Meaghan Sittler and Barb Gordon.
At the national level, Halldorson was the assistant coach for the gold
medal-winning team at the 1998 USA Hockey Women's Festival and was the head
coach of the silver medal-winning team at the 1999 event. Last December, she
served as an assistant for the U.S. National team that competed in the Three
Nations Cup in Finland. She was also an assistant for the National Under-22 team
this past summer.
A native of Plymouth, Minn., and a 1981 graduate of Wayzata High School,
Halldorson played four years at Princeton, where she was a co-captain and
all-conference performer while leading the Tigers to three Ivy League titles.
She graduated from Princeton in 1985 with a degree in psychology.
A member of the 1987 U.S. National Women's Team and three national club
championship teams with the Minnesota Checkers, Halldorson returned to her alma
mater in 1987 to begin her collegiate coaching career as an assistant.
BEHIND THE NEW HAMPSHIRE BENCH-Karen Kay is in her eighth season guiding the
Wildcats and has a 170-55-20 career record. A 1985 graduate of Providence, where
she earned bachelor of science degrees in psychology and business while
completing curriculum in athletic training, she began her coaching career as a
student assistant with the Friars when a shoulder injury forced her to miss her
senior season.
Prior to taking over the reigns of the New Hampshire program, Kay had coached in
the Assabet Valley Girl's Hockey program and was an assistant coach in 1990 with
the first-ever women's U.S. National Team. She also served as head coach of U.S.
teams from 1993-95. She has led the Wildcats to a pair of ECAC titles and the
inaugural AWCHA National Championship, in 1998.
IT'S HOME-The home of Gopher Women's Hockey is Mariucci Arena (9,700). Known as
one of the toughest arenas in the nation on visiting teams, the Gophers are
32-8-5 in the six-year-old building.
ON THE AIR-The Gophers have three regular-season games remaining on their
schedule that will be broadcast live by WDGY-630 AM. The next broadcast will be
when Minnesota travels to Duluth, Minn., Feb. 11-12 to take on the
Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs. MinnesotaÍs home game versus St. Cloud State, Feb.

of the action with Richard Drake, assistant women's soccer coach at Minnesota,
adding the color commentary.

Channel. Minnesota will host Minnesota State, Mankato on Feb. 8 at 7:05 p.m.

Subject: Wisconsin Women's Hockey Weekly Release
THIS WEEK: For the second straight week, Wisconsin (12-10-2, 9-6-1 WCHA) will play the fourth-place team in the WCHA. The Badgers travel to Bemidji, Minn., and John S. Glas Fieldhouse for two games with Bemidji State (13-11-1, 4-11-1 WCHA). The games are slated for Friday and Saturday, Jan. 28-29 at 7:05 p.m. The Badgers can clinch at least third place in the conference with a sweep of the Beavers and an Ohio State tie against conference-leader Minnesota-Duluth.
LIGHTING THE LAMP: The red light at the Dane County Coliseum was kept busy by the stick of Wisconsin¢s Kelly Kegley (Inver Grove Heights, Minn.) With her first career hat trick on Jan. 22 against Ohio State, Kegley became the fourth badger of the season to record a three-goal performance. Sis Paulsen (Eau Claire, Wis.), Michelle Sikich (Apple Valley, Minn.) and Kendra Antony (Yorkton, Sask.) all recorded hat tricks earlier in the season. On the way to her hat trick, Kegley took a season-high nine shots and was a +2 in the contest. Kegley also notched the game-winning goal 22 seconds into the third period against Ohio State on Jan. 23, to give her four goals in two games.
The frosh now ranks second on the Badgers with 12 goals and shares fourth on the Wisconsin scoring chart with 21 points. She also leads the team in shooting percentage, scoring goals on 20.0 percent of her shots.
THIS LAND IS WEILAND: The leading scorer for the Badgers against Ohio State this past weekend was defender Kerry Weiland (Palmer, Alaska). The first-year player put on a stickhandling and skating display with three spectacular goals, in addition to two assists. On Saturday, Weiland took the puck at the OSU blue line, skated around three defenders and snapped a shot into the upper left corner of the net. On Sunday, Weiland improved on the effort with two more individual efforts in the offensive zone.
With her five points, Weiland climbed into third on the Badger scoring charts with 10 goals and 12 assists for 22 points in 22 games. She also jumped into a fourth-place tie in scoring among WCHA defenders (all games).
BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE: Both Kelly Kegley and Kerry Weiland scored a pair of goals in 15 seconds or less this past weekend. Kegley performed the feat on Saturday when she completed a hat trick with goals at 19:39 and 19:49 of the third period. Her goal at 19:39 was scored on an empty net. On the ensuing face off, Kegley took a pass from Sis Paulsen and went in alone on the OSU goaltender.
Weiland scored at 13:11 and 13:26 of the first period to give the UW a 2-1 lead after it trailed 1-0 early on. She was assisted by Leslie Toner (Wausau, Wis.) on the first and scored unassisted on the second. Weiland made the crowd ooh and ahh with two impressive individual efforts, beating OSU defenders on both plays.
MACøIAVELLIAN: After missing the past four regular-season games because of injury, netminder Jackie MacMillan (Buffalo, Minn.) made a triumphant return this past weekend, winning a pair of games over Ohio State. The frosh made 29 saves in a 6-2 win on Saturday, and 13 more in a 3-2 win on Sunday. MacMillan improved to 6-3-1 (.650) on the season and now has the third-best win percentage in the WCHA (all games). Her 3.28 goals against average and .894 save percentage both rank fifth.
NOBODY BEATS THE LIZ: Liz Jankowski (Maple Grove, Minn.) equalled her season-best effort with a goal and an assist on Saturday against Ohio State. Jankowski notched the first game-winning tally of her career with the breakaway goal and set up Kelly Kegley for the first of her three goals in the game.
The frosh now has two goals and four assists on the season.
MICHELLE, MA BELLE: Currently the bearer of a four-game point-scoring streak, sophomore Michelle Sikich (Apple Valley, Minn.) is expected to return to action against Bemidji State. The Badgers second-leading goal scorer last played on Dec. 4 when Wisconsin played host to MSU, Mankato. Sikich had four goals in the series, including the game-winner in the first game and a hat trick in the second. The hat trick included two short-handed goals and the game-winner. She has six goals and three assists in her last four games and 12 goals and nine assists for the season.
THE BEAVERS: Bemidji State (13-11-1, 4-11-1 WCHA) currently resides in fourth place in the WCHA standings along with Ohio State. The Beavers come off a pair of road losses to Minnesota, 6-1 and 10-0.
The high-scoring Beavers average 3.76 goals per game. Lill Raynard and Alicia Kinsman pace the BSU attack with 14 goals apiece. Raynard leads the team with 30 points while Raynard¢s 28 points a close second. Two other Beavers have over 20 points, with Kerri McEwen at 21 and Amy Shepler at 20 points for the season.
No. 1 goaltender Bre Dedrickson sports an 8-7-1 record with a 3.15 goals against average and .901 save percentage. Katie Anderson is 4-4-0 in a back-up role for Bemidji State.
Ruthann Cantile (Western Michigan, 1997) is in her second year as head coach of the Bemidji State women¢s hockey program. Cantile led the Beavers to a 2-19-0 mark in her first season, and has BSU at 13-11-1 this campaign.
Wisconsin hosted Bemidji State for a home series in Eau Claire, Wis., the first time the two teams met. The Badgers took both games, 7-4 and 3-1, when they met on Nov. 13-14.
Kerry Weiland led all scorers in the series with a goal and three assists. Kelly Kegley, Michelle Sikich, Sis Paulsen and Kendra Antony each had three points in the two games. Jen Neary and Jackie MacMillan split the goaltending duties with Neary playing the first and MacMillan playing the second. Kerri McEwen led the Beavers with two goals and as assist. In goal, Bre Dedrickson played in the first game, while Katie Anderson started the second contest.
ONE FOR YOU, ONE FOR ME: The Badgers added a fifth skater to their point-per-game club after Kerry Weiland put up a five-point weekend. Weiland now has 22 points in 22 games (1.00 points per game). Kendra Antony leads the group with 31 points in 24 games (1.29 points per game). Sis Paulsen (Eau Claire, Wis.) follows with 27 points in 21 games (1.29). Michelle Sikich, with 21 points in 18 games (1.17), and Kelly Kegley, with 21 points in 18 games (1.17), complete the quintet.
IF YOU PLAY IT, THEY WILL COME: The Wisconsin women¢s ice hockey team opened up its inaugural season on Friday, Oct. 8 against Minnesota-Duluth. Gov. Tommy Thompson, Olympic Gold Medalists Cammi Granato and Karyn Bye, U.S. National Team coach Ben Smith and other VIPs attended. The second-largest women¢s collegiate ice hockey crowd attended, with 3,892 people at the Kohl Center.
The largest crowd to attend a women¢s collegiate ice hockey game came together on Nov. 2, 1997 when Minnesota held its inaugural game against Augsburg at Mariucci Arena in Minneapolis, Minn. 6,854 people showed up and saw the Golden Gophers shutout Augsburg 8-0.
The Badgers also attracted 2,209 fans to their game with the U.S. National Team in Fond du Lac, Wis., on Jan.8. The sold-out crowd was standing room only.
HEAD COACH JULIE SASNER: Head coach Julie Sasner (Harvard, 1988) is in her first year with the Badgers after spending six years at the helm of Cornell. The Badgers first coach sports a 12-10-2 record behind the bench for Wisconsin, and is 65-71-8 lifetime. She led Big Red to a 53-61-6 mark and the 1995-96 team to its first Ivy League title since 1990 with an 8-1-1 record. She also directed Cornell to a 15-8-3 record in 1997-98 and a 16-7-2 mark during the 1995-96 season. She was named the 1995 Coach of the Year by the American Women¢s Hockey Association.
A member of the first U.S. Women¢s National Team in 1990, she has since helped coach the team at the 1999 International Ice Hockey Federation Women¢s World Championship. She was also the head coach for the U.S. Women¢s Select Team that competed in the Three Nations Cup held in Finland in December of 1998. She earned her first U.S. head coaching position, leading the U.S. Women¢s National Team to a silver medal at the Pacific Women¢s Hockey Championship in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1996.
UPCOMING FOR THE BADGERS: Wisconsin returns home to play host to St. Cloud State on Feb. 5-6, at the Dane County Coliseum. Both games, part of Fan Appreciation Weekend, begin at 1:05 p.m.

I think someone on this list mentioned the Can/Am hockey camps a couple of

participate in the Can/Am camps. Has anyone here attended the camp? If so,
I'd like to hear more about it.

See http://www.canoe.ca/HockeyWomen/jan24_big.html for a short article
about admission of a Vancouver team to the NWHL (the current incarnation of
the AAA league in Ontario and Quebec), and about future expansion
prospects. Apparently each of the 9 eastern teams in the league will make
one weekend trip to Vancouver next season.
The article doesn't say how the Vancouver team will manage their part of
