REMEMBER... Nothing worth having ever came easily. Do the work and stay in control of realizing your dream. © Total Female Hockey 2011! 1 YOUR “WHY” WORKSHEET Why do you want to play college/university hockey? Write all your reasons down. Why do you think coaches and scouts would want you to be a part of their program? What do you bring to the table that is unique and/or valuable? Why do you think that you are better suited to have this opportunity than your competition? What separates you from them - in terms of athletics, academics and attitude? Why do you deserve this opportunity? These are hard questions to answer. There should be a lot of emotion behind every answer you write. This is a huge decision and a hard journey - and it is going to be your passion that drives you forward when the going gets rough. You shouldn!t take answering these questions lightly - just like you shouldn!t take this process lightly. It won!t be easy - but it will be worth it. © Total Female Hockey 2011! 2 COLLEGE HOCKEY BASICS START HERE The point of this overview is to give you a general idea of the academic and athletic opportunities that are out there for you across North America if you want to play hockey at the varsity level. Please keep in mind as you read this document, and as you work your way through the entire Scholarship Project, that there are hundreds (and maybe even thousands) of players who “say” that they want to play hockey at the next level. That may seem a little overwhelming - especially since there are only a few hundred spots each year available to incoming players. But remember that there is a very big difference between “saying” you want something and actually taking the action necessary to “do” it. You are already separating yourself from the competition by working your way through the “Scholarship Project” and taking specific and consistent actions towards your dreams. So if and when you get overwhelmed, keep in mind that all you need to do is do the work on and off the ice and follow the plan, and you!ll be much further along in this process than your competition. A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY As of the fall of 2010, there are 113 universities offering varsity women!s hockey in North America. When I went through this process back in 1998, there were probably only half that many options available. This is a tremendous period of growth in women!s hockey - not only in the college/university ranks, but even more so at the minor hockey level. So even though there are more “spots” available to play college hockey, there are also a lot more players going after those spots. As I said above, most players who “say” they want to get there aren!t willing, or don!t have the information necessary, to “do” what it takes to achieve their goals. So you!ve got a leg-up on the competition already. Before we get into more details about the opportunities that lay ahead for you, please do me a favor and keep this one thing in mind. Academics must always come first - whether we are talking about high school or university. At this point, there are no million dollar contracts waiting for female hockey players to play the sport we all love. This may change in years to come, but at this point, you need to rely on your education to help you make a living down the line, not your ability to play hockey. My goal for every single young female hockey player I work with - and this now includes you - is for you to: Leverage your athletic ability to get a better academic opportunity. Think of your ability to play hockey as something that can help you to get the education and degree that you want (and need) to succeed when your playing days are through. If you keep this in mind the entire way through the process, you will keep yourself on the right track. © Total Female Hockey 2011! 3 COLLEGE HOCKEY BASICS The 3As: What Coaches & Scouts Are Really Looking For The truth is that even though there are over 100 colleges and universities in North America that offer varsity women!s hockey programs, the competition to get the chance to play at that level is fierce. Coaches & scouts are looking for a “triple threat”: Great Athletics * Great Academics * Great Attitude If you have the complete package, it is much easier to stand out, get noticed and be recruited. You don!t need to be the best player in the country or be a straight A+ student, but being as strong as possible in all 3 of these areas will help you out dramatically as you go through this process. Let!s look at each “A” in more detail: ATHLETICS Basic Skill First and foremost, you must have the basic level of skill needed to play at the next level. Notice that I didn!t say “elite” level skill. Being an elite player will never hurt you, but in the beginning of the process, coaches & scouts just want to see that you can execute all the basic skills on the ice at a level that would allow you to compete at the next level. This means that it is not necessary for you to have the greatest slapshot in the world to get noticed. But you have to be able to skate, pass, shoot and stickhandle at a pretty high level. Having any big holes in your game - for example, skating that is well-below average - will count against you at this point in the process. Game Sense Once they have established that you have the basic skills, they are looking at your game sense. Do you know where to be when you don!t have the puck? How do you create time and space for yourself and your teammates? Do you make good decisions under pressure? Game sense is much harder to teach than the basic skill, but it is absolutely critical if you want to get to, and excel at, the next level. If your game sense is terrific, you may even be able to make up for any basic skills that are lacking in the beginning of this process. Competitiveness Every player wants to win. But how do you compete on a shift-to-shift and a game-to- game basis? You will do anything to win a race to the puck or a battle along the boards.

The nature of the current system is such that there is little opportunity (except for those able to attend the Coaching Association of Canada’s annual conference, Petro- Canada Sport Leadership sportif) to share experiences, exchange information, discuss lessons learned, and establish networks. The Canadian Journal for Women in Coaching aims to address this deficiency by providing a forum for our leading women coaches to write about their Olympic experiences. The hope is that our readers will not only benefit from the shared knowledge, but will also gain valuable insight into the all-encompassing commitment that goes into the making of champions. In February 2006, our hockey-loving nation was enthralled by the amazing displays of play-making and teamwork that culminated in the gold medal for our Olympic women’s ice hockey team. We watched with respect as, throughout the tournament, head coach Melody Davidson handled controversy with The 2006 Olympic Champions dignity, never failing to maintain a Photo Credit : Hockey Canada calm and pleasant demeanour. We saw how the team stuck to its game plan, undeterred by criticism from many quarters. And now, thanks to Melody’s candour, we learn about all the planning, hard work, trials and tribulations that combined to make the team such an effective unit. It is a story about preparation, teamwork, sharing, professionalism, and tough decisions.

  • The First Women's World Ice Hockey Championship and the Emergence of the Routine of Women's Elite Hockey by Patrick Alexand

    The First Women’s World Ice Hockey Championship and the Emergence of the Routine of Women’s Elite Hockey by Patrick Alexander Reid A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport and Recreation University of Alberta © Patrick Alexander Reid, 2018 Abstract Ice hockey is Canada’s national winter sport (Government of Canada, 1982). While men’s hockey has been an event in the Olympic Games since 1920, women’s hockey was only added as an event in 1998 (IIHF, 2016). A watershed moment that advanced the growth of women’s hockey was the inaugural Women’s World Hockey Championship (WWHC), held in Ottawa, Canada, in March of 1990. Sociologist Nancy Theberge (2000) proclaimed the event was an important turning point in women’s ice hockey. It proved to be the test event for women’s hockey to be considered for inclusion in the winter Olympic Games, an accomplishment that would contribute to the legitimation of women’s hockey as an elite sport. The purpose of this current research is to investigate the WWHC in detail as a case study. Primary data encompassing the 1990 WWHC files of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) were made available for this study with the permission from CAHA president M. Costello. This study benefits from the data sources and insights available by the author who served as the event’s general manager. The historical description of the event utilizing data from the CAHA files corrected some misconceptions previously reported in the literature.
