Once in 2000 when I played on the club team for Ohio State, which is nothing like their current club team. We totally sucked but had a lot of fun! And more recently this past August for <a href="http://www.puckcancer.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Puck Cancer!</a>, which was for a good cause. Since I started playing again, I've played almost non-stop for a year, what with last year's regular season, the Spring Mixer my team sponsors, and a new Summer Mixer that just started this past summer. Then, back to the regular season! <strong>Cheesemeister,</strong> thank you! It's nice to know that a non-hockey-playing reader enjoys these posts. ;) Actually, women's hockey is no-check, but of course the game is still physical. Nothing like men's games, though! megan and Holli, a belated thank you. :)

I wish there were more chances to see women's hockey on TV. Of course I realize it's a very physical game but I rarely watch NHL games any more because the fighting has become too much even for me. It's not just punch-outs anymore. It's really dirty stuff. Who needs it? I want to see the game, not some kind of gang warfare! Forgive me...it is 5 am and I am becoming stupider than usual. Good luck with the fibroid exam. I hope things turn out o.k. I enjoy the hockey posts, actually. I wish there were more chances to see women’s hockey on TV.

Wow! So you've been on and off the ice eh? But that's more than a decade and I guess you've joined a lot of tourneys. Our team started 2002 and only a few were still playing for 7 to 8 years on and off too. Most and majority of the women players here are newbies. Last year, only 5 of us joined the World Ice Hockey 5's in Malaysia and we were mixed with Hong Kong and Macau players representing Asia. We placed 3rd overall. Then last June, it was the first time that my team (all Pinay players) joined an international tourney. We placed last though compared to team Japan, HK, Malaysia, etc. I think we weren't good enough yet. But we hope we'll win in our future games. Age is not a prob i guess. I started when I was 23 lol and I still need to learn alot. But at least you're still actively playing and you can do both player and goalie. That's awesome! Anyhow, yea hope to meet you one day. Since 96' you say? Wow! That was a very long time. A lot of things changed here since then. New skating rink at Mall of Asia. Totally cool! Well, keep in touch and keep on playing! ;) Hi again! Wow!

Thanks for stopping by! I know Pinay bloggers here, but I haven't met any other Fil-Am players. Isn't that weird? Like I was saying in this post, though, women's hockey in Chicago still has a long way to go. The team I play on was one of the first women's teams here, which started in '95. That's when I first joined, but I skated up and stopped playing for a few years. Then I played for a little bit in grad school and started in net because we needed a goalie! I had no idea what I was doing, gear that didn't fit -- it was horrible! I stopped playing again for the longest time -- 5 years, and started again last season. I wasn't even sure if I wanted to try playing goalie again because I was so bad at it. Not that I'm great now, but I do all right for a 2nd-year rookie. :wink: Oh, yeah -- I was 25 when I first learned to skate, and started playing the game seriously, as a goalie, last year at age 37! One women on the Tigers is in her 60s and still going strong! Now <em>that's</em> inspiration! I do hope we get to meet some day. I haven't been back since '96, I think, but I brought my skates and got to skate at Megamall! Hey! Thanks for stopping by! I know Pinay bloggers here, but I haven’t met any other Fil-Am players.

The team I play on was one of the first women’s teams here, which started in ‘95. That’s when I first joined, but I skated up and stopped playing for a few years. Then I played for a little bit in grad school and started in net because we needed a goalie! I had no idea what I was doing, gear that didn’t fit — it was horrible!

I stopped playing again for the longest time — 5 years, and started again last season. I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to try playing goalie again because I was so bad at it. Not that I’m great now, but I do all right for a 2nd-year rookie. :wink:

I do hope we get to meet some day. I haven’t been back since ‘96, I think, but I brought my skates and got to skate at Megamall!

I'm amazed to know that you're not just a hockey player, but also a blogger too! :wink: Actually, I've been searching for Filipino hockey players around the world who also blogs. Unfortunately, I didn't come across any Filipina players. I'm glad you found my site. Hope to meet you someday. Our team badly needs an inspiration LOL. :mrgreen: Hi!
