[quote=Anonymous]Agree with looking at MedStar and MYHA or also TriCity or the St James for instructional programs and clinics. Having a girl who is skilled, but not an all-star player, I would temper expectations that without specific hockey experience, it may be challenging to find an all-girls team to join at 14U unless she has very good skating skills, particularly edge work. Socialize the idea that she may have to play coed house for at least a year before joining a 14U girls team (birth year 2010 and 2011). MYHA is the only non-checking house team in the area at that age. I am not being discouraging, however! Rollerblading, skiing, and figure skating are all super transferable athletic skills. Girls at this age can really skyrocket when they are motivated. Also, there is a dearth of 14U girl goalies in the area so that is also an option for starting out at this age. [/quote]
