When we were in the States(Mich) last year, this boy told my daughter that"Your team must suck, if you're the Captain" She was the captain of her boy's Bantam team 13/14 yr olds. She fixed his wagon, she's a beauty, but a devil on skates! She checke…
My daughter was raised from age 5 in boy's hockey, In our organization, we were, apparently, only one of four in the country who allowed "body checking" at the Atom age division. It was hard to find tournaments that allowed "hitting" at atom age. (m…
Cry-babies! It's just a poor excuse for lack of skill!
Totally agree. There are at least 3 men's leagues in the Sault, and I think only one of them allows body checking. ( most have day jobs, etc. ) Our women's rec. division wouldn't allow it, the competitive could, if they chose. I heard about a study…
I absolutely, know girls can take a hit , and deliver a good one too. My daughter plays with the boys partly because of that. The only thing is, it really embarrasses a boy when the trainer has to carry him off after being hit by a girl. My daughter…
My daughter is now playing boys midget(15 to 17 yr. old) She's only 15. Last year, in bantam, she was the best "hitter" on her team, maybe that's part of the reason they made her Captain. This year, being one of the younger ones, and a fair bit smal…
Tribute to '98 team
I think compeitive girls/women's hockey should have body checking. If girls learn from young like the boys, then it wouldn't be a big deal for them. And it's women playing against other women.... so the fact that we aren't as "strong" as men doesn't…

Michelle Carnago said… - Hi Yvonne, so nice to hear from you. Yes, of course you can use the photo and comment. This day at the high school was so inspiring for everyone. It was called the Sharing the Dream, there were 5 different Olympians, Weightlifting, Swimmer, Gymnast and Hockey. I can't remember all of their names, but you went to the group that interested you most and they gave an in classroom discussion and then held an on-ice sort of clinic. This was totally great to be able to put you skates on sitting next to Angela. A lasting memory! At the end of the skate, she brought out all of her Olympic Medals and commented on each one of them. I believe this was a great motovational event, and if alot of professional athletes could share there experience with middle or high school kids, it would expand some of those kids minds that need that little extra help to believe in themselves. In todays society, we need to help steer our kids in the right direction and be confident in themselves. O.K., enough of that, but I really believe that this type of program can only be good for the kids.
No, we do not play spring hockey. We have not hit the ice since Nationals. But we are thinking of going tomorrow. There is local drop-in every Tuesday night. We are playing Softball right now, the season goes from April thru August. This is a very FUN thing, we try not to be competitive, and just have fun, although, we have won our first 3 out of 4 games. It's really nice, because we get to see everyone from the team even in the off season. Kinda weird how much we all get along and love being together, most teams are not like that. Well, talk soon. Tell Charli I said hi! Michelle

- My daughters high school has a special Olympic presentation by 5 Olympic Women. They had a talk session, then a on-ice session at our rink. This was totally cool, I even got to skate with her. It was a lasting memory for myself and my daughter.

Jennifer said… - I like hockey more than basketball. I feel more apart of a team, great group of guys!! I also feel like I can help the team out a lot more in hockey. Don't get me wrong wheelchair basketball was fun but sled hockey is my life!!!
