Usually playing among men, Maschmeyer had to adjust before playing in Czech

P ø e r o v - Normally a backup goalie in a male tier-II junior hockey league, 17-year-old Canadian goaltender Emerance Maschmeyer talks about her career among men.

 
 
 

Originating from the cold prairies of Central Alberta, there´s probably not much to do in towns like Bruderheim, where Maschmeyer comes from. One of the things to do when you live about 50 kilometers northeast of Edmonton, the coldest city with an NHL team, is play hockey whatever the conditions are.

"When we were growing up, my daddy always loved hockey and we had a rink at the house. We always pushed each other to get better and when you see your older siblings play hockey, you just want to go out there and play with them. I´m the only goalie, but I don´t know how that happened," says Maschmeyer, who has four siblings who all play hockey.

Her oldest sibling, 23-year-old rearguard Brittaney, played five seasons of NCAA female hockey. Twenty-year-old brother Bronson is an AJHL defenceman with 229 Western Hockey League games under his belt, 19-year-old brother Brock is an alternate captain of an AJHL team and her 16-year-old brother Kache still has a career in front of him.

After playing bantam and midget hockey among males in Fort Saskatchewan, she moved onto a bigger stage, the Alberta Junior Hockey League, one of the premier Canadian tier-II junior hockey leagues. Currently, she´s one of three goalies for the Lloydminster Bobcats.

"There´s three goalies on our team and the other two are guys and they are really good, so I got to play in only five games this year," explains Maschmeyer, who, however, hopes the competition will get easier soon. "Being the number-one goalie on my team is definitely what I´m striving for, but time will tell."

Because the AJHL is a junior league, there´s only a certain number of 20-year-old players allowed on the team. With the Bobcats´ other two goalies born in 1992, Maschmeyer has a chance to achieve what she´s striving for soon.

For her, playing among men has both advantages and disadvantages. For example, she faced her older brother, Brock, who plays for the Fort McMurray Oil Barons. "Last year, we played an exhibition game with the team my brother plays for and there´s always a little shootout at the end of the game. They put Brock against me and I stopped him so it was a great feeling."

On the other side, she has to switch when she wants to play female hockey. "I always have to take a couple of practices to adjust because women´s hockey is different from men´s hockey. While the guys play it more physical, girls use their sticks more. However, in both games I´m just stopping pucks so it´s not so difficult to switch."

That´s why it wasn´t really difficult for her to get her first international shutout, stopping all ten Finnish shots in the 7-0 win on Tuesday.

When asked about the atmosphere, she´s obviously delighted, but not actually stunned. "We have a good atmosphere in Lloydminster, too. There´s always more than a thousand fans as communities try to bring all the fans to the games."

As a fan of hockey, she would also like to watch something bigger, such as the ongoing World Junior Championship, which is taking place in her home province of Alberta right now. "I wish I could watch it but we don´t have a chance here," she says in hopes that one day, she will get to even a bigger stage, such as the Women´s World Hockey Championship.
