I think branding us all with the same stamp is a little unfair Duck. We all agree politics suck and all we want to do is play the best hockey we can against the best opposition. It seems to me that although everyone says they only have the best intentions for the sport there are some people out there who definitely get a kick out of all the mess (being polite) that is going on.

I know GB ladies have now had their selection session for the worlds and our team has been decided upon...this hasn't removed the uncertainty about what is going on but I know I probably speak for all the girls when I say every single one of us is more than looking forward to going to South Africa and playing some hockey...with or without the support of the boa.
