Her name was Mahon Rehume and she played for one period in a pre-season game with Tampa Bay as a goaltender.  She also has a brother who played with the New Jersey Devils for a while, I'm not sure if he still plays in the NHL. Sorry, I don't have the magazine in front of me, so I may have misspelled her name.

Best player to play the game period is Bobby Orr. Not only did he dominate the game for a number of years, but he redifined a position. He played an offensive attack from the blueline and did so without negelectling his main responsibility as a defenceman. He won the scoring title from the point and, although the stat was not kept then, would have also won the +/- award in the same year. Unfortunatley injuries cut his career short and robbed us of the greatest player to have ever laced the skates.

Fairbanks, Alaska! I used to live there. Hockey was HUGE, as was skiing, skijoring, ice skating, snow shoe softball (my personal favorite), and the like.

Women's sports are a colossal bore.  Sorry, but with the exception of tennis, and maybe the occasional golf tournament, that's true.  Women's basketball?  Please.  For men's sports, I'd watch hockey before any NBA game.  The NBA is just a bunch of strutting, overpaid prima donnas.

The US - Russia semi final game in the 1980 olympics had to be the greatest game from a US perspective.\n\nHowever a personal Favorite of mine (and a very close second) was game 7 of the 1994 Stanley cup eastern conference semi-finals between the NY Rangers and the NJ Devils.\n\nHowie Rose's call of the Game winning goal in the 2nd OT still gives me goosebumps \n\n"Mateau, Mateau, Mateau. Stephane Matteau and the Rangers have one more hill to climb baby, but its Mt. Vancouver. The Rangers are headed to the finals"

No actually, a recent study by the Energy Institute of Technology has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that ABSOLUTELY NO ONE has played hockey recently. This is due to a complete loss of molecular activity in the neural membranes of the human cerebellum. it is estimated that approximately none in every 5 people have played hockey in at least the past "whenever".

Yes, I've always thought that women should be able to play full contact hockey.  We don't break anymore than men do.
