Welcome More Stories: Work The Arts History Literature ... RSS More female skaters trade sequins for a stick By Ron Scherer (ron@csmonitor.com) NORTHFORD, CONN. Only seven years ago, Kati Vaughn first laced up a pair of hockey skates. Now, the tall 14-year-old plays on an elite team, the Connecticut Polar Bears, and dreams of skating for the US Olympic team. "Hockey's my life," she says after a game. This winter, at rinks across the nation, it's increasingly common to see other Kati Vaughns with pony tails sprouting out of helmets. There are now goalie schools for girls and at least one academy in Vermont whose main aim is preparing girls to play college hockey. Some high schools are now adding girls hockey to their list of varsity sports and universities are recruiting the best players with full scholarships. Yes, instead of donning tights and trying double axels, young girls are learning how to sprint down the ice after a frozen piece of rubber. A sport, best known for its National Hockey League fisticuffs, is now attracting girls and women who love the competitive rush. SKATING BEFORE SHE COULD WALK: Assabet Valley goalie Kim Flanders says she’s been playing hockey since she was 1. About 300 girls play at the Valley Sports Arena in Concord, Mass.

Cambridge University Ice Hockey Club CUIHC History Home History Roster Swiss Tour ... Contact Founded in 1885, the Cambridge University Ice Hockey Club is one of the oldest hockey clubs in existence. The first Varsity Match was played in 1885 at St. Moritz in Switzerland, and the annual Cambridge-Oxford match has been recognised by the Hockey Hall of Fame as the oldest ongoing hockey rivalry in the world. The Early Years After getting its start in Switzerland, hockey remained dormant in Europe until some ten to fifteen years later. In 1900, the second Varsity Match was played, this time in London, by a Cambridge University squad led by captain J.J. Cawthra who later represented England internationally. Cawthra is credited by Major B.M. Patton, an early historian of hockey in England, as being the founder of the current series of Varsity hockey matches. Ice hockey slowly expanded in both the United Kingdom and in Europe, propelled in part by the efforts of the Cambridge University Ice Hockey Club. Regular tours onto the continent (and once even down to South Africa!) helped to popularise the sport, and the annual Varisty Match became a significant fixture on the hockey calendar. By the 1930's, professionalism had entered the sport, and amateur university students were no longer among the leading practitioners of hockey. However, in 1936, the English national team won the gold medal in the Winter Olympics, and ice hockey reached its peak in the United Kingdom.

Winter Olympics: heroes and anti-heroes Introduction I n the 78 years and 18 editions of its history, the Winter Olympics has produced plenty of heroes. But it has not been without its controversies, as well. In this article we look at some of the people who made their name - for the right and wrong reasons. Alpine skiing Both Tony Sailer (Austria) in 1956 and Frenchman Jean-Claude Killy in 1968 won the slalom, giant slalom and downhill events in alpine skiing. Other alpine skiing giants include Sweden's Ingemar Stenmark, Italy's Alberto Tomba and Austria's Hermann Maier, who provided the 1998 Games' most enduring image, with a horrifying fall during the men's downhill race. Amazingly, he recovered to win two gold medals within the next six days. At the 1984 Games in Sarajevo, alpine skiers Steve and Phil Mahre become the first brothers ever to win the gold and silver medals in the same event - the slalom. Their feat was almost matched in Innsbruck in 1964 by the French sisters Christine Goitschel and Marielle Goitschel. In the slalom, Christine won the gold, while Marielle settled for the silver. In the giant slalom, the winning order reversed, with Marielle taking the gold, and Christine the silver.

Ten-time world champion Ulrich Salchow of Sweden, who originated the backwards, one revolution jump that bears his name, and Madge Syers of Britain were the first singles champions. Germans Anna Hubler and Heinrich Berger won the pairs competition. The Games resumed in 1920 at Antwerp, Belgium, where figure skating returned and ice hockey was added as a medal event. Sweden's Gillis Grafstrom and Magda Julin took individual honors, while Ludovika and Walter Jakobsson were the top pair. In hockey, Canada won the gold medal with the United States second and Czechoslovakia third.

home shop help contact ... Contact Us Winnipeg Falcons: Vikings on Ice The Winnipeg Falcons won the first ever Olympic gold in hockey. Recently, Canada's Olympic hockey reputation has taken a bit of a beating. Since Nagano, Canadians have questioned whether they can compete at the highest level in their national sport. There was time when this kind of self-doubt was unheard of. For three decades, starting in 1920, Canadian teams were unbeatable on the international stage. The club that started it all was the Winnipeg Falcons. A team made up of second generation immigrants, who overcame economic hardship and discrimination to win the first hockey gold medal in Olympic history. Many of the Falcons were second generation Icelanders. Their parents and grandparents came to Canada in the late 1800s, after a volcanic explosion on the island had made farming difficult. A promotional poster advertises Manitoba as having the "best wheat land and richest grazing country under the sun." According to Professor David Arnason of the University of Manitoba, things where initially difficult for the new Canadians. "Their first winter was ferociously cold. They faced a smallpox epidemic, nine consecutive years of flood, and a locust infestation. It was incredibly difficult," he says.

Two historic rival cities convinced they were long overdue. London prevailed upsetting Paris to secure the 2012 Olympics. The British capital overcame its cross-Channel opponent 54-50 Wednesday on the fourth ballot of the International Olympic Committee vote, capping the most glamorous and hotly contested bid race in Olympic history. British Prime Minister Tony Blair, in Scotland for the G-8 summit, made a big push for London's bid. (AP) Moscow, New York and Madrid were eliminated in the first three rounds. London got the Olympics for the first time since 1948, while Paris was frustrated for a third time in 20 years. It hasn't held the Games since 1924. Paris had been the front-runner throughout the campaign, but London picked up momentum in the late stages with strong support from Prime Minister Tony Blair. "Many people do reckon that London is the greatest city in the whole world at the moment," an exultant Blair said after hearing the result in Gleneagles, Scotland, where he is hosting the G-8 summit.

Bob Beamon Avery Brundage Dick Button Cassius Clay ... 1980 U.S. Ice Hockey Team Bob Beamon Beamon set the Track and Field world on its ear at the 1968 Olympic long jump in Mexico City, when he jumped 29 feet, two-and-one-half inches to win the gold medal. Beamon's jump was a world record that eclipsed the previous record by 21 3/4 inches. The jump still stands as an Olympic record, and stood as a world record until Mike Powell leapt 29' 4 1/2" at the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo. Avery Brundage Brundage spent most of his life as a dedicated supporter of the Olympic movement. In 1912, he competed in the Olympic decathlon and pentathlon with another U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame memberJim Thorpe. After moving out of the athletic arena, Brundage served as president of the U.S. Olympic Committee from 1932-52, and followed that with a stint as president of the International Olympic Committee from 1952-72. In 1972, Brundage became the first recipient of the IOC Gold Medal of the Olympic Order.
