Women friendly pickup games
As most of you know, Hockeytoronto runs approx 1/3
of the pickup games listed on the site.
In all of those Hockeytoronto games,
women are not only welcome to join, but encouraged to do so.
Unfortunately, not all the other pickups games
will 'allow' women to participate.
Players should always email to confirm a spot.
so there shouldn't be any confusion.
Note: There are also 2-3 pickup games
that do not allow male skaters as well :-)

The following note is being sent to the
30,000 Members of the NHL Fans' Association.
Recently, many suggestions have been received from Members related to the activities the NHLFA should pursue in its attempt to have Gary Bettman removed as the commissioner of the NHL this season.  One such suggestion is to coordinate a league-wide protest week that will rally fans attending games to hold signs calling for the dismissal of Bettman.
If you would like to contribute an idea, please visit http://www.nhlfa.com/minipoll09_10Season
