The recruitment of girls for hockey and marketing of their sport have long been goals for Andrew Maislin, operations manager for the city\u2019s Sports and Recreation department. And his appointment June 21 as the new vice-president of the Lac St. Louis hockey federation \u201cputs Westmount in the room where it all happens,\u201d he told the Independent. Hockey Lac St. Louis includes 24 hockey associations like Westmount\u2019s and is a member of Hockey Quebec. The Eastern Hockey League, for which Maislin continues as administrator, is one of the three subdivisions of Lac St. Louis. This additional role \u201cis great for our goal of increasing girls\u2019 hockey in Westmount,\u201d he added. \u201cNow we can steer the ship for our girls.\u201d Girls\u2019 hockey has always been under appreciated around the world, he contended. The marketing of hockey and recruitment of girls, including reaching out to the schools, has been \u201csorely lacking.\u201d Maislin launched the first all-girls\u2019 hockey team in November 2021 for the Westmount Minor Hockey Association. He also organized and brought to Westmount the nine final games of the season for Lac St. Louis\u2019 girls\u2019 hockey March 27. According to an information bulletin from the Lac St. Louis federation announcing Maislin\u2019s appointment, \u201cAndrew has been entrusted with overseeing the girls\u2019 hockey program, a segment of the hockey sphere that is particularly close to his heart. His diverse experience in sports and recreation management with the city of Westmount for over 15 years is an undeniable asset to the corporation.\u201d
For Maislin, adding the new responsibility \u201cis a part of my life,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
