Fellow Hockey-L'ers - PLEASE feel free to forward this announcement to any other lists, usenet newsgroups, or local redistributions you may know of. The larger the audience, the better the final product will be. (Just remove the lines marked with '>', please.) Thanks for your help in advance...Karl ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Since you have to have a target market to be able to successfully promote a product, I am announcing the formation of the "Youth Hockey Discussion List". The list (to borrow a phrase) will be dedicated to the discussion of youth ice hockey primarily in the US and Canada. Youth Hockey is defined as any age level currently sanctioned by USA Hockey and the CHA. This includes all ages from 3 thru the Olympics and World Championships. > (Hockey-L members may be interested around this aspect > of the list, as many of the players in these events are > of college age.) The accent will be on the amateur section of the ice hockey world. This list is not intended to replace any existing list (as the ones that are already in existence do an excellent job of serving their specific audiences). My short-term goal is to collect subscribers for the list. I will then use that list of subscribers to try and persuade the national sanctioning organizations (USA Hockey and CHA) to help support this operation. To be a Charter Subscriber, please e-mail the following to [log in to unmask]: >"Subscribe Youth Hockey" >Internet Address >First and Last Name >City and State (or Province) ># of family members in Youth Hockey (None is OK!) (i.e. Player, Coach, Official) I will give an updates on the progress of this list as I am able to announce any. Karl Schmidt Saratoga Springs, NY
