Regarding the Not-Canadian-Athletic-Association:

"the CIS membership approved a five-year women’s hockey pilot project, endorsed by university presidents and athletic directors. In addition to benefiting from the aforementioned eligibility repatriation rule, the pilot will allow CIS women’s hockey programs to offer athletic scholarships that extend beyond the current limits associated with tuition and compulsory fees to contribute to other costs including room, board, and books. Women’s hockey schools will now be able to assign scholarships in a much more flexible and robust fashion, provided they do not exceed the current cap that is applicable to every team. There will be strong monitoring and evaluation throughout the period of the pilot to determine its efficacy in developing and building the best university women’s hockey system in the world."

Someone got fed up with Canadian women going south and lobbied to keep them in Canada. Quite a change from soccer where national and provincial coaches entice kids out of the country.

I listened to a Hall of Fame hockey player the other day talk about how believing you could beat someone was half the battle. Kudos to the people behind this for believing in Canada.
