Penny Lawless’ first hockey career was short lived.
At 11, she played for an organized girls’ team, which was scrapped after a group of younger boys took over their ice time.
“It was the 70s, and at that time they told us that girls’ hockey wasn’t really going anywhere,” said Lawless, 58.
As an adult, things are different. Lawless now has a standing game every Sunday night as a player and organizer with the Rundle Women’s Hockey League, a grassroots league that’s quickly gaining momentum in the Bow Valley.
Takeko Takahashi says playing hockey alongside other women is a ton of fun. <!–
