Dear Andria,

I have read with much interest about your career in Ice Hockey.

I am writing to let you know that my daughter (Christine - 15 years
old) plays in the Tasmanian Junior (Under 17) Competition.

She is one of three girls that played in the competition in 1996.

She as do the other girls play for the Eagles which ultimately won the
premiership this year. Christine scored one goal and one assist in the
grand final which by the way was only her third game. She has followed
her brother into the sport.

The sides in the Tasmanian competition in order of finishing are as
follows:

Seniors:
  Premiers:       Hawks   (This side comprised 2 players from Canada)
  Runners Up:     Red Barrons
  Third:          Blackhawks
  Last:           Mad Cows

Juniors:
  Premiers:       Eagles
  Runners Up:     Hawks
  Last:           Knights (First season in the competition - My son Leighton
  (13 years                 old) plays for this side - his first season)

Leighton was the highest points scorer for his side as follows:
  (Games Played:15, Goals:17, Assists:8)

Unless you don't already know Tasmania is an island state of Australia.

There are no women's ice hockey teams in Tasmania and the three girls who
play for the Eagles are the only female players in the state.

Regards
Robert Cockerell.

P.S. Christine has been inspired by your career information and my son
Leighton is very impressed.
