Hockey news

No, not that. I'm trying to keep in mind that hockey does not necessarily mean the NHL.

So here's a hockey story that has nothing to do with owners and unions:

Woman Plays In Men's Pro Hockey Game

Angela Ruggiero would be happy to put off her preparation for the next Olympics for another shot at playing in a men's professional hockey match.

The two-time Olympian became the first woman to make more than a token appearance at a position other than goalie in a U.S. men's professional hockey game, playing defense and getting an assist Friday night for the Tulsa Oilers of the Central Hockey League.

Oh yeah:

Seconds after being checked on her third shift of the night, Ruggiero responded by slamming a Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees player into the boards.

I never thought I'd be saying this, but I wish I was in Tulsa so I could see some hockey.
