[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 289117, member: 367"] It was hard to watch and a pain in the ass to deal with girls playing boys hockey once they got older. Girls could keep up for the most part when younger but like DM said , Once they hit puberty age it isn't even a contest anymore. It started here with one girl back in the 80s and she was pretty good (for a girl) and small towns don't have the luxury of players competing to make the team so she was a walk on for the HS team and got some exposure at the state hockey tournament that landed her a full scholarship to Brown University. Once she started the trend we had a couple dozen girls playing boys hockey so they eventually started girls teams. I'm not sure if any besides the one that went on to Brown ever played boys HS hockey in ND. Sports are good for kids and the reason we tolerated girls on boys teams. Stateside was ok but I remember one of them got checked in Canada so hard she got a concussion. [/QUOTE]
