50 Cambridge University Women’s Ice Hockey Club www.cam.ac.uk/societies/cuwihc President: Zoe Michlig, Trinity Captain: Barbara Richter, Peterhouse Secretary: Jacqueline Clover, Fitzwilliam Whether it’s playing against Oxford in the famous Varsity Match, joining our training camp in Finland, or taking part in social events, women’s ice hockey at Cambridge is a unique and rewarding experience. As well as our Sunday evening ice sessions, we also enjoy roller-hockey and indoor floor hockey each week. Across all these activities, the club fosters a great sense of fun, teamwork and encouragement.

The Cambridge captain, Barbara Richter, scored the first goal of the match. However, the Dark Blues soon retaliated, taking a 3 – 1 lead after the first period. A very strong Oxford team dominated the second period, but Cambridge centre Sarah Johnson was able to add another goal for Cambridge. The third period saw a stronger Cambridge performance, but the Oxford lead was too great. Barbara Richter’s hat-trick earned her the Cambridge Most Valuable Player trophy while rookie Clare Watkinson’s strong effort was rewarded with the Spirit of the Match trophy. Other News We finished the season with as many losses as victories, beating women’s club teams that we have lost to in the past, including Chelmsford and Coventry. Club Development The ice hockey team usually enters the Varsity match as underdog. Since there is no ice rink in Cambridge, we train in Peterborough. Due to the excessive ice and transport costs and the very limited ice time available, the team trains only an hour a week, very late on Sunday nights. The Oxford team, on the other hand, has a rink and hence gets over twice or three times the amount of ice time we do. The last two years we have been very fortunate to receive generous sponsorship from Cambridge University Press. This has enabled us to set up a weekly training camp at the Sports Institute in Vierumaki, Finland. For six days, we train 4 hours a day on the ice under the supervision of students studying in the coaching degree program at the institute. Although the Finland trip doubles our yearly ice time and provides excellent coaching, the team suffers greatly by not having an ice rink in Cambridge. Although ice training is supplemented by off-ice fitness and floor hockey sessions, these will never fully compensate for the lack of ice time.

Henckel, Homerton Varsity Match 18 February 2006, Leys School Cambridge Cambridge 6 – 2 Oxford We won the 76th Varsity Match retaining the cup for the fourth year. We also won the B Team shield and narrowly lost the women’s trophy to a heavier Oxford side. Oxford tried to stop the three-year winning streak for Cambridge by fielding its heaviest and most highly graded team for many years. However this did not work as the Cambridge team were well trained and motivated by strong support from the home crowd. In the end only 2 players conceded defeat and the result was a comfortable 6 – 2 win for the home team. The match was closer than the score would indicate. Many of the matches themselves went close to time, including Aaron Pascovitch’s and Gary Chandler’s edge-of-seat fights. Though his fight lasted less than a minute, Archie Reid was forced to reverse a pin before winning. Both sides fought well but Cambridge dominance showed through for the fourth time.

Last year Cambridge had won 6 – 0 and it was clear Oxford wanted revenge. The team this year had seen a few changes with injuries and promotions to the A team, but with promising new talent cultivated in the club, we still had high hopes. As it turned out we had nothing to fear, Oxford only got one clear victory, from a black belt demoted from their A Team. The other wins could have been regarded as controversial, including one Ippon called after the fight had been stopped for leaving the area. However the referee’s decision is final and Olympic medals have been decided under similar circumstances. The result was confirmed by Tom Deacon (B team Captain) winning his fight as the last man up. Janek Kolodynski showed a good pick up throw in his fight, winning in style. 51
