Ya something like that. Italy really shoudn't have a team in the olympics but because they're the host country they can have a team in any event, or some rule along those lines... but everybody know Canadas going to get gold in womens hockey.
i was reading how one of the girls on the US team was smack talking the canucks for running up the score in those games. the point being that i will discourage the development of womens hockey world wide when there are only two teams that ever win anything.
i do have to say that its kind of jacked to run up a 16-0 game against the host country. i guess thats just how the canadians get down.
Actually, I most of the girls on that team could kick your ass. It isn't much different than guys hockey. There is hitting, pretty good passing, and some decent plays being set up.
