For those of you interested in a discussion on the world of High School hockey, I have just finished setting up a mailing list with this purpose in mind. This mailing list will be open for anyone who is interested, and it will need active participation from it's readers if it is to succeed. Having participated on the [log in to unmask] mailing list for years, I realized that there is a great deal about the world of hockey on the High School and Prep School level that I don't know about. After all, where are all of those players who end up in the colleges and the pros coming from? As a fan of hockey in general, I realized that what worked for College with HOCKEY-L could just as well work on the High School level. This can provide a way to learn more about other regions of the country, and to learn about players as they are developing into the future of this great sport. So, I am now opening the "[log in to unmask]" mailing list to the general public. Right now we are discussing the general setup of the mailing list, and will soon move on to what people can do in terms of providing scores, league standings and an overview of the "High School" hockey in their area. To subscribe to the new mailing list: Send email to "[log in to unmask]" and put the word "subscribe" in the Subject: line. There is also a "digest" version which will send out all of the letters from the "hs-hockey" mailing list, but in a single large mail message once every few days. To join that instead: Send email to "[log in to unmask]" and put the word "subscribe" in the Subject: line. For reference, here is our current WELCOME message: The "[log in to unmask]" mailing list is dedicated to the discussion of the sport of ice hockey on the high school, prep, or high school-equivalent level. Issues such as score summaries, team or player stats, rules, and the recruiting of high school players for play beyond their high school years are among the topics which will be discussed on this list. Other topics or news items that pertain to high school hockey are also welcome. "Woofing" and the attacking of teams/schools, players and other posters is not welcome on the mailing list. Open and honest discussions about the merits of schools, regions of the country, or individual players is reasonable, as long as the above policy is kept in mind.
