Girls Hockey in Livonia
During the 2000-2001 season, the LHA introduced the association’s first girls team, a 10U division. Seeing the growing interest of girls hockey, the next year the league introduced a 12U and the now defunct 15U division. With both of the new teams lacking in players, they decided to combine into one team, Livonia Knights 15U. In 2003, after the USA Hockey changed the age divisions to more closely match their Canadian counterparts, the LHA decided to drop the 15U down to 14U. The following season the LHA introduced the 16U team.

Famous quotes containing the word girls:
“Somehow we have been taught to believe that the experiences of girls and women are not important in the study and understanding of human behavior. If we know men, then we know all of humankind. These prevalent cultural attitudes totally deny the uniqueness of the female experience, limiting the development of girls and women and depriving a needy world of the gifts, talents, and resources our daughters have to offer.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
