My daughter and the other girls on the respective teams change in the tiny First Aid room. They wouldn't have it any other way, and they are 11 & 12 years old.<BR/>They go into the boys' room five minutes before the game, and after the game, they go in with the boys until the coach says -- and during that time, only gloves, helmets and skates can be removed -- both boys and girls.<BR/>Everyone is cool with this.<BR/>This mother is foisting celebrity on her daughter. I hope it doesn't blow up in her face.<BR/>As for cameraderie -- if the girl is a 'hockey girl' -- the boys will get along with her on the bench and on the ice where it counts.Canadiannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07987833950676519609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9160593.post-1121197280149801702005-07-12T15:41:00.000-04:002005-07-12T15:41:00.000-04:00I would hate to seem 'old fashioned but...My theor...I would hate to seem 'old fashioned but...<BR/><BR/>My theory is that:<BR/><BR/>#1 - children don't make the rules. So, it's a parental problem. How about adult people just say "NO, MY CHILD IS NOT PLAYING IN THIS HOCKEY LEAGUE". Pretty soon, not enough people to play a hockey game.<BR/><BR/>#2 - Get a grip! 14 year old boys are maniacs looking for a place to happen. When the oldest tadpole turned 35, I called him and told him that he could come out of his room now.<BR/><BR/>#3 - Children have rights when they become adults. The last time I checked that was between the ages of 18 and 118!<BR/><BR/>This whole thing would be laughable (if it wasn't sicko). The basic problem is people that don't know the difference between raising a child and raising a Golden Retriever.<BR/><BR/>Kermit does not suffer these idiots to enter the bog...<BR/><BR/>K the GreenKermithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15925873650354234996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9160593.post-1121115845500117752005-07-11T17:04:00.000-04:002005-07-11T17:04:00.000-04:00What do we suppose will happen when this team fiel...What do we suppose will happen when this team fields the first pregnant goalie in BC hockey history?bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15666007757313640686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9160593.post-1121101780382000602005-07-11T13:09:00.000-04:002005-07-11T13:09:00.000-04:00The mother in this article is so tunnel visioned, ...The mother in this article is so tunnel visioned, I don't even know where to start. Makes me think she would approve of co-ed sleepovers too.<BR/><BR/>Play the game, fine. What rights are involved in changing together as a team? I've heard it bemoaned that girls are left out of the cameraderie, etc. that goes on in the locker room. Get over it. There are bigger things at stake.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13954578543604294137noreply@blogger.com
