Yes, I think it's quite possible to have a "power forward" in the
women's game.  However, the definition may be somewhat different than
the definition of a "power forward" in the men's game.  I think of a
power forward as a very strong skater who is able to drive hard
on the outside, around the defenders, right to the net.  A couple
of players come to mind:
 
   Angela James - played for Senaca College (north of Toronto)
                - currently playing for the Toronto Red Wings of the
                   Senior AA COWHL (Central Ontario Women's Hockey League)
                - Team Canada 1990, 92, 94, 96
 
   Lori Dupuis  - currently playing at the University of Toronto
                   and also playing for the Toronto Red Wings Senior AA
                - Team Canada 1995, 96
 
The University of Toronto's women's team has a couple of exhibition games
this weekend that you might be interested in.  We play at Brown University
at 7:00 pm on Sat Nov 25th, and we play at Yale at 10:00 am on Sun
Nov 26th.  I know the Yale game will be played at Yale, but I'm
not sure if the Brown game will be played at Brown or at Yale.  When
I find out where it will be played, I'll post to hockey-l-info.
 
Current Canadian National team members who play for the University of
Toronto are Lori Dupuis (#66) and Laura Schuler (#14).  The coach for the
University of Toronto (Karen Hughes) is an assistant coach for Team Canada.
