Hi June - Seattle has a program for beginners ages 5-8 that is coed. It is the Seattle Junior Hockey Association Beginner Program. I was an assistant coach this year, and I had so much fun -- I highly recommend it. And there were quite a few girls this year, which I was glad to see. But tell your friend to hurry up and register her daughter, because once she turns 9 she has to join a team (I think) and the beginner program would be a shame to miss if she's never played before. I don't know of any all-girls teams until age 11. But everything before then is coed, so there are plenty of opportunities. Tell your friend to contact me if she has questions. - -Madeleine Oldham, Vice President, Seattle Women's Hockey Club ------------------------------
