Girls hockey

This is the fun time of the year when my son and I get to work at the summer hockey camp circuit. Always such a good time hanging out together and seeing what programs are making progress with youth girls hockey! The growth of it over the past few years has really been something to see.

This is exciting for girls hockey in Cleveland. Sucks they were disqualified at first but now that’s been fixed. I love when you can literally see the legacy of the Team USA success (these kids were 5 when US when Olympic gold) combined with the grassroots efforts of several years.

This is going to help their development so much and they will love being on a girls team that plays locally.

Each Sunday, over 150 girls walk through our rink doors…in Tampa. That’s incredible to think about.

When I started to read this, I wondered how far these girls would need to travel to get a decent game. But with over 200 in the program and that many showing up weekly, it would seem that they have the critical mass to make this a really positive experience. Well done by the former Laker!
 
Apologies in advance if this is the wrong forum or the question is viewed as off-topic - but...

I'm following the Shattuck 19U girls team at USAH Nationals in CA this weekend, and I see their opponent in the championship game, Lovell Academy, has a roster full of girls who are also rostered on the Boston Advantage/Lovell team that will play in 16U next weekend in the USAH Girls Tier I nationals. I thought players could only be rostered on one nationals-bound team? (And, as an aside, am not sure the Lovell team should have been playing this weekend, what with their wins of 17-2, 11-0, 11-0, and 10-1). Does someone know if there's a loophole or something that is allowing these girls to play in nationals two weekends in a row?

In general, I welcome any girls hockey talk on this thread.

Seems like it’s allowed. This is from the USA Hockey Annual Guide, page 173.

F. National Championship-Bound Teams
A player may not register on more than one team that participates in games leading towards a national championship except for players on High School division teams, who may also play on a Youth or Girls national championship- bound team. Player changes to the official team roster form (1-T) for youth or girls Tier I and Tier II national championship-bound teams will not be accepted after December 31. Refer to Rules and Regulations Section IX: District Playoffs and National Championships, for additional requirements for national championship-bound teams.

No player may play in more than one State, Affiliate or District Championship or playoffs leading thereto. However, a player rostered on both a High School division team and a Youth or Girls national championship-bound team may play in teams’ State, Affiliate or District Championship or playoffs leading thereto.

In the event a player is registered on more than one team that participates in games leading towards a national championship, the appropriate registrar shall have the final authority to certify the eligibility of any such player solely on the basis of the date on which the effective date of the earliest team roster registration form, as provided above, is received.
Girls may dual roster on a youth and girls team if the Affiliate rules permit dual registration for females. Dual-rostered females playing on youth and girls teams may continue playing on both teams until the end of the regular season.

However, the player must declare in writing to her appropriate registrar, or his/ her designee, by December 31 on which national championship-bound team she wishes to be eligible to advance to the district, state, regional and national championship. If the player does not indicate on which team she wishes to be eligible for district, state, regional and national tournaments, the appropriate registrar shall have the final authority to certify the eligibility of any such player solely on the basis of the date of the earliest team roster registration form, as provided above, is received.
Except for players playing in Tier I or Tier II Junior hockey pursuant to the Youth/Junior Affiliated Player Policy, any youth player (male or female) rostered on a Tier I or Tier II youth or girls team and a Junior Program team as of December 31, can only play for one team after December 31. Except for players playing in Tier I or Tier II Junior hockey pursuant to the Youth/Junior Affiliate Player Policy, if the player plays in a Junior game after December 31, he/she loses all eligibility on his/her youth or girls team for the remainder of the season, regardless of how many games are played at the Junior level. Disputes regarding this rule should be resolved by the appropriate registrar.
 
Well my girls team season kicked off yesterday. I am pleased to now have girls wearing jersey 21 and jersey 4, iconic numbers in women’s hockey. It’s the little things for me, haha. I also have a kid wearing #9 for the first time in program history. It occurred to me I don’t know the greats that wore #9. Anyone know? I’m sure I’m missing obvious answers. I am coming up with Jackie Jarrell who played at Hurst during their ascent, and now does work for the NHL. She can’t be the only badass #9 out there.
