Now I know a lot of you think this happened awhile ago, but this time I am serious. I can't believe I even agreed to do what I agreed to last night............................................. ...........................Get your minds out of the gutter............................................ .................................................. .................................................. .........................O'Neil and I agreed to allow Jessica to start playing hockey with the boys. Not just once in a while, all season long! What was I thinking!!!!! Some of these boys are over six feet tall! They are huge, and they can skate, and they body check...........Someone stop me!!!!

just let her hair hang out from the helmet...

what kinda guy is gonna check a girl into the boards?

I understand completely! My daughter played hockey on mixed teams in Michigan for years, until she went to college. It can be a bit tough and she'll have to establish herself as a player that bites back or she'll be run over.

My daughter had to make a few hard checks and take a few penalties to establish her place and before she gained respect on the ice. Before that, the guys were nice to her off the ice, but would just skate all over her on the ice.

Just be prepared for some large bruises every once in a while (if not every game).

This is gonna be funny watching her kick their



I want vids! Go, Jess GO!

Canadans.

She can do it. It will toughen her up a bit quicker but she can handle it.

The other day my son was spotting me with his hands up as I was playfully going through the boxing jabs. I hit his right hand with my left- jab, jab, jab and then did a light follow through with the right one and knocked him a few steps back. He said "MOTHER!!" and I had to laugh. I said "Hmph! I still got it after all these years."

Don't mess w/Tracy--->

I will admit to enjoying it, maybe a bit too much, when my daughter would rob some hot shot forward or wing and take off and pass it. The first time she did it to a new guy, it would register as a shock to him.

She met her now husband while playing.

Well, last night she got hit, and hit hard. She got the wind knocked out of her. She is not used to being hit, they don't hit in ladies hockey. I know this toughen her up, but I don't know if I can watch.

She will not be able to play in any away tournaments, just home games. It is far to dangerous. For some reason the other teams will go after the girls on the ice. The last time a girl played for the boys in away situation, she was sent to the hospital, with a concussion, she had to quit playing. So they will no longer allow girls to play away games. I have no problem with that. This is just to improve her skills, and if she is going to play the game, she is going to play it right.

Last night she took on a boy who is 6 foot tall, he of course got around her, but she made him work for it

Poor bastards....they are so gonna get by a girl...
