Canadian Women's Hockey

There is a great story about the history of Women's Hockey in Canada.  Please visit the link to TSN at

Would you believe there are now 87,000 females registered in hockey in Canada today? I'd guess it's even more!

Family Day - Female Hockey Camp

Kim McCullogh of Total Female Hockey runs fitness programs, team training, hockey camps, coaches female hockey, and coaches at PEAC.  She is currently promoting this family day camp for girls at Chesswood.  Here it is:

"Speed kills in girls hockey. But speed isn't just about how fast you

can get from point A to point B. Your "straightaway" speed is important
but it is just one small aspect of speed that you need to be working on.
There are 3 types of QUICKNESS you must develop in order
to perform your best during playoffs, tryouts and beyond.
They are quick FEET, quick HANDS and quick RELEASE shooting."


"FAMILY DAY SPEED & QUICKNESS CAMP: Monday Feb 18th

For those of you who live in the GTA, we'll be working on all 3
of these areas at the Total Female Hockey Family Day Speed
Camp on Monday February 18th in Toronto. The camp runs
from 8:45am to 11:45am at Chesswood Arena and includes
1.5 hours of on-ice training and 1.5 hours of off-ice training.
The group is split into atom/peewee & bantam/midget groups.

Space is limited so register soon!"

Halton Secondary Schools ban rep girls from playing high school hockey

Just when I thought that girls hockey leagues and high school hockey programs were more sane than boys hockey leagues, the HSSAA  - Halton Secondary School Athletic Association has stepped in with some sheer brilliance. http://www.insidehalton.com/sports/article/1567239--girls-can-t-play-both-rep-and-high-school-hockey-in-halton  From what I can gather the proposal is to prevent girls from playing both high school hockey and rep hockey.  Who does this benefit?  Is it for the girls?  Did the hockey coaches vote for this? The rep hockey associations?  Was it just the HSSAA?  Do you think they are a little out of touch with reality?  Should this apply to all other sports?  Basketball, volleyball, baseball? What do you think HSSAA?
