On April 12th Hockey Richelieu adopted a resolution to manage the girls hockey program in their region by following a plan that would have girls play with girls except under the following circumstance; (http://www.rapides.ca/index_files/resolution.pdf )
That if a girl is able to attain the level of "AA" in mixed hockey at the peewee, bantam or midget level, she would be permitted to play on that team.
Should a girl not be able to attain that level, she would be required to play in the girls program
t atom, if a girl is able to attain the "BB" level in the mixed program, then she would be permitted to play on the team.
Should the girl be unable to attain the "BB" level in Atom, she will be required to participate in the girls program.
The exceptions to this rule apply, as always, to goaltenders. Should a girl goaltender not attain the "AA" level at peewee, bantam and midget, she would be permitted to tryout for the "BB" and"CC" teams. should she attain that level, she would be permitted to play on that team.
At Atom, if a girl goaltender was unable to attain the "BB" team, she would be permitted to try for the "CC" level only. Should she attain that level, she would play for that team. If not, she would report to the girls program.
Following the Hockey Richelieu resolution, girls hockey programs from across the province are examining the impact this resolution would have if implemented in their region. Hockey Lac St Louis is scheduled to examine this resolution and the impact on Hockey Lac St Louis in the coming days.
In Lac St Louis, there are 199 girls who play mixed hockey from Atom to Midget. Of those 199 girls, 4 played at the Atom "BB" level (of which 2 were goaltenders), 1 peewee "AA", 1 Bantam "AA". There was 1 Peewee "BB" goaltender, 1 Bantam "BB" goaltender and 2 Bantam "CC" goaltenders in the region.
