There's one team for girls in the capital city, and there are about 15 of us. Schools here don't have ice ranks. And the clobbering of sticks is due to the lesbian factor in the hockey

Well, in that case there IS quite a cultural difference, then. As far as I know practically every British school has a girls' hockey team. Except for the all-boys schools, obviously...
By the way, I was talking of field hockey, not ice hockey, so maybe we're not really talking about the same thing. Anyway, I'd say that many types of sports just generally provide a convenient outlet for aggression, whether it's boys playing football or girls playing hockey. But you actually seem quite fond of your image of hockey as a sport for big butch women, so fair enough.
