Kiwanis Club of Rideau Weekly Lunch Meeting
Thursday, January 19, 2012 at 11:00AM This week's guest: Mandi Duhamel on Women's Hockey in Canada
HEAD TABLE
President FRANK HEGYI was joined by our speaker, MANDI DUHAMEL and JOEL EDELSON (thanks).
OUR PROGRAM:
MANDI DUHAMEL spoke about her experiences as a women’s hockey player and coach. She passionately outlined the strength and importance of the sport. The surprise was that there is no funding of any kind at any level of women’s hockey. Individual players at the Olympic level must find their own sponsors but the team does not receive funding. The Women’ National Hockey League has no sponsors or funders although the hockey is as good as or better than any you will find on a men’s rink.
Report provided by KIM CHADSEY.
