Le hockey féminin est un sport pour toutes! Aujourd'hui, de plus en plus de filles pratiquent ce sport. L'esprit d'équipe, la camaraderie, les défis, la satisfaction de développer des habiletés et d'apprendre sans cesse demeurent des éléments importants pour les joueuses. Que ce soit par plaisir ou par défi personnel, toutes les joueuses y trouvent leur compte!
Hockey Québec à son tour, recrute tous les deux ans des candidates potentielles qui auront la chance de représenter la province aux jeux canadiens. Puis une ligue nationale de hockey féminin a vu le jour l'année dernière soit la NWHL (National Women Hockey League). Sans la complicité des pionnières, des fondateurs, des bénévoles et de Hockey Québec, le hockey féminin ne serait pas ce qu'il est aujourd'hui.
Il y a deux ligues senior AA au Québec: la ligue de Repentigny et la ligue universitaire du Québec. Dans notre province, les joueuses ne peuvent pas faire partie de deux équipes. Chaque ligue a ses propres finales, mais la finale provinciale regroupe les équipes des deux ligues.
Quant au Canada sur le plan international, il a participé aux trois premiers championnats mondiaux de hockey pour femmes organisés par la Fédération internationale de hockey sur glace (en 1990, 1992 et 1994). L'équipe canadienne a remporté ces trois championnats. Depuis le championnat mondial de 1994, le Canada participe au Tournoi de l'anneau du Pacifique qui regroupe le Canada, la Chine, le Japon et les États-Unis. L'équipe canadienne participe également aux Jeux Olympiques depuis 1998 où le hockey féminin fut admis à ces jeux.

The Industrial Revolution refers to the social and economic changes that occurred when machines and factories, rather than human labor, became the dominant mode for the production of goods. Industrialization occurred in the United States during the early and mid-1800s and represents one of the most profound influences on the family. Before industrialization, families functioned as an economic
unit that produced goods and services for its own consumption. Parents and children worked together in or near the home to meet the survival needs of the family. As the United States became industrialized, more men and women left the home to sell their labor for wages. The family was no longer a self-sufficient unit that determined its work hours. Rather, employers determined where and when family members would work. Whereas children in preindustrialized America worked on farms and contributed to the economic survival of the family, children in industrialized America became economic liabilities rather than assets. Child labor laws and mandatory education removed children from the labor force and lengthened their dependence on parental support. Eventually, both parents had to work away from the home to support their children. The dual-income family had begun. During the Industrial Revolution, urbanization occurred as cities were built around factories and families moved to the city to work in the factories. Living space in cities was crowded and expensive, which contributed to a decline in the birthrate and to smaller families. The development of transportation systems during the Industrial Revolution made it possible for family members to travel to work sites away from the home and to move away from extended kin. With increased mobility, many extended families became separated into smaller nuclear family units consisting of parents and their children. As a result of parents' leaving the home to earn wages and the absence of extended kin in or near the family household, children had less adult supervision and moral guidance. Unsupervised children roamed the streets, increasing the potential for crime and delinquency. The Industrial Revolution took place a. in the 17th century. b. in the 18th century. c. at the start of the 20th century. d. in the 19th century.
