We're in a small town, North Bay, Ont. (pop 56,000), and have to compete against ringette (the sport was invented in North Bay) so we don't yet have the critical mass to put together an all-girls hockey league yet. It's encouraging that at the younger levels, enrollment in girls hockey in North Bay is increasing @ 50% a year, but in the meantime, my daughter still has to play in the boys league. Are they competitive...no, but the only way to get them competitive is to put them into game situations and have them practice as much as the boys.

I'm coaching my daughter's novice (7-8 yrs old) team this year & am interested in hearing from other folks who may be involved in girls minor hockey. Is there anyone out there in BFZ land that's involved?
