=**Whitecaps **=

**The Minnesota Whitecaps are an amateur women's hockey team. It took the Minnesota Whitecaps Women's hockey team about five years for them to get the program up and going. The players are part of the NWHL (National Women's Hockey League). They pay $1,000 to their team and $1,000 to the league in order to play. The Whitecaps are the only amateur women's hockey team in the United States. They play teams from Canada as well as the US Selects team. Their players come from all over the US, but many are from Minnesota. The Whitecaps organization puts on a summer clinic called, "Learn to Skate." The Minnesota Whitecaps organization put on twenty-five clinics last year all around the metro. I talked to Kristie Minkoff to get all my information on the Minnesota Whitecaps. If you have any question you can call her or visit the Minnesota Whitecaps website,** [|**http://www.minnesotawhitecaps.com/leagues/front_pageWhitecaps.cfm?clientID=2178&leagueID=5109**]**.
