This item was on ABC news on 9th March 2008. Great to see the Women's Ice Hockey team getting some coverage, let alone ice sports getting any coverage on Australian TV at all. Good luck girls for the Worlds.

  • i really didnt think people over there actually played. im canadian and my boyfriend is from australia and he doesnt even know anybody that plays or has any interest in it!

    we are waiting for a girl to arrive to play on our team and she is from australia!

  • It is a shame. So many Australians don't even realise that there are ice rinks in Australia.

  • @lilelementskater Who do you play for?

  • @Xayah You don't really need too many players to get results. Norway for instance, has only a little more then 6000 registered players, still we reached quarter-finals in 2008 and 2011, we've beat Sweden, Canada and the Czechs and we played in the olympics...At least we've got a good foundation to be able to fight for a medal in the short term...though, you need to get players to bigger leagues...

  • When you say 'hockey' in Australia, its assumed you mean field. I am an Australian female ice hockey player and my local rink is practically a mini canada, most of the players were born there :P seriously, there are like 2000 registered ice hockey players in Australia. I don't know how many are female. Not many. There's so few, I have to train with the boys!

  • Firsrt thing they must do in order to be taking seriously is to stop saying " ice Hockey".

  • I hope they can make a real "go of it"!! If they're training in Canada, at least they have a fighting chance,eh?

  • my hockey team is better then these girls just from what i saw of them playing and i play midget aa

  • @FearOfTheFlesh Australia = warm Canada. Canada = cold Australia. lol

  • It's not the Jamaican Bob Sled syndrome thing, but I think we Canadians look at Australians as being the closest people to us. Our weather is very different and we are on opposite ends of the world, but we both follow the same political system, have relatively close population sizes, amazingly similar history, values, gdp, laid back attitude, love for alcoholic beverages <--prob our downfall -_-', and the outgoing welcoming yet suprisingly patriotic attitude.

  • As a Canadian hockey player, hockey is practically my religion. I'd love nothing more then to play it all day, everyday.

  • canada all ways will win
