Womens Hockey: Unable to Streak

Fans disappointed

The Waterloo women's hockey team has yet to show their best this season, and we all know the reason why.

It is a little-known secret that the girl's hockey uniforms have been changed from their well known uniforms to clever imitations that are identical in every way, except that they have been slightly modified to stay on better. This is a major concern, as avid sport fans worry that our fine (and I mean fine) girls haven't been showing off their true potential on the ice.

Modifications to the uniform include:

• More opaque jerseys, preventing fans from getting a better view of the game.

• Secure sports bras, made with StayOn 2.0 technology.

• Better belts, keeping the pants on way too high.

• Sharper skates, making the girls blur by so fast that we can't see a thing.

This is a major concern for our stalwart hockey fans, and for the student body. This motion to spend valuable student money on these new uniforms has been passed without any publicity, with a large part of the student population unaware of this act. With all of this fanfare in our recent referendum about unimportant issues such as expanding the Health Services building and building a new Student Services Complex, it seems odd thats the student were left in the dark about such an important decision. I for one would have voted "no" to such an unimportant expense, as I enjoy watch our girls playing without any inhibitions.

Hockey is such a physical sport, and because of this unannounced decision the womens hockey team has been restrained to a shadow of their glorious selves.

Big Mak
