Although this is the second most non-hockey post yet, Anna Kournikova is
an incredible female athlete. If I were in as good a condition as she is, I
would be a MUCH better hockey player.

She is someone to look up to, not to be scorned because of something as
trivial as an opinion of her visual attributes.

This is almost as bad as the gossipy post regarding a Canadian goalie.

The inaugural Canadian Forces Womens Hockey National Invitational tournament
was conducted this past week at CFB Borden.  It was awesome!!  Five teams
representing their respective regions attended the tournament: Atlantic,
Quebec,
Ontario, Prairie and Pacific teams battled it out.  Each team was an
all-star
amalgamation from the various bases in each region.

Standings after the round robin were:

1st - Prairie (3-0-1)
2nd - Ontario (3-0-1)
3rd - Pacific (1-2-1)
4th - Quebec (1-2-1)
5th - Atlantic (0-4-0)

Prairie and Ontario came through after the semi-final round and met in a
ferocious
final match-up.  Expectations for close game were high as the two teams had
tied
3-3 in the round robin.  It wasn't meant to be, however, as Prairie came out
with a
tough checking line that shut the Ontario high-scorers down.  Prairie was
victorious
with a decisive score of 3-0.

Final game MVP was Cpl Connie Stapleton from 15 Wing Moose Jaw, Sask.
She had scored the crucial second goal on a breakaway that is considered
to be the TSN turning point in the game.  Tournament MVP was MCpl Carole
Lapensee, 8 Wing Trenton, Ont as she was the tournament high-scorer.

Tournament all-star team was as follows:

Goalie - MCpl Joanne Martel, 19 Wing Comox, BC
Def - Pte Nicole Grenier, Garrison Edmonton, AB
Def - Cpl Sandi Bates, CFB Esquimalt, BC
C - MCpl Carole Lapensee, 8 Wing Trenton, Ont
RW - Sgt Charlene Arsenault, BFC Valcartier, PQ
LW - MCpl Sue Maranda, 14 Wing Greenwood, NS

It was truly a great tournament and a historic moment for womens hockey in
the CF.  National invitational will continue in the future, and each region
will
be working even harder to develop womens hockey for both beginner and
more advanced players.  It is hoped that each region will be able to conduct
a regional competition to allow beginners a focus that they can work towards
while the more experienced players can continue to strive to be chosen for
the all-star teams that proceed to the national invitational.  And beyond?

Yours in hockey,
