New Girls Hockey League Launches in Haymarket

By Uriah Kiser

A new pickup ice hockey league for girls ages 10 to 14 is giving middle school players across Northern Virginia a chance to compete in an all-girls setting at Haymarket Iceplex.

The NOVA Girls Ice Hockey Pickup League, founded by Warrenton physician Dr. Christopher Chang and coach Kara Given of A and K On Ice Coaching, runs sessions of five to 10 full-regulation games with referees. Games take place at the rink at 15155 Washington St. in Haymarket. Organizers balance teams by skill level each week so beginners, intermediate and advanced players all get equal ice time. Full gear is required, and at least one year of recreational team hockey experience is needed.

Haymarket Author Signs Book Saturday

By Uriah Kiser

A Haymarket author will sign copies of his new book about the St. Louis Cardinals’ first World Series championship from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday at Aroma II Wine, 14871 Washington St. in Haymarket.

Terry Lemons’ “The Year St. Louis Became a Baseball Town: The Cardinals, Babe Ruth, & The 1926 World Series” was published June 9 by Arcadia Publishing’s The History Press. The 192-page book examines how the Cardinals’ 1926 upset of Babe Ruth’s New York Yankees and the celebrations, radio broadcasts, and fan energy that followed turned St. Louis into a lasting baseball town. Lemons, a St. Louis native who later worked as a White House reporter and spent 25 years leading communications for the Internal Revenue Service in Washington, said the championship created traditions still felt today.

Haymarket Weighs E-Bike Scooter Rules

By Potomac Local News

“I believe instead of banning electronic dirt bikes, the town should create clear rules and enforce them,” Camden Pittman told the Haymarket Town Council, Prince William Times reported. “We have seen, in our neighborhood, adults who are swerving at children, adults who are cursing them out,” Candace Morriss said, Prince William Times reported.

The proposed ordinance would ban e-bikes on sidewalks, set a 20 mph speed limit, prohibit riders under 14 without adult supervision, require helmets for young riders, ban earphones in both ears, and impose a $5,000 license fee on commercial rentals. The Haymarket Town Council held its first public hearing June 1 before a standing-room-only crowd and plans a second hearing June 23, a work session June 29, and a vote in July.
