Women's hockey beginning to look too much like the men's game

What is believed to be the first case in Canada, a woman in London pleaded guilty to assault stemming from an attack on the ice in 2005 in which she kicked another player in the head while on the ice. You are accustomed to hear about incidents like this in men's hockey. But there are other incidents. An 18-year-old New Brunswick girl is facing an aggravated assault charge for a cross-check she allegedly delivered to a 15-year-old opponent during a high school game -- a hit that lacerated the victim's spleen and left her in hospital for several weeks. Truly frightening!
